$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Melissa Luna and I have been a career Nanny for 15 years. I am currently a Nanny for a share but my contract will be over mid October so I'm looking for new families that need my help. Being a Nanny genuinely brings me so much joy and laughter and I would not want to have any other career. I am also a mom to a 16 year old girl and understand the importance of providing gentle,loving, safe and nurturing care to others children. I care for them like I would care for my own. I pride myself on being nurturing, patient, engaging, intuitive about the needs of children, an excellent communicator, organized, safety-conscious, resourceful, transparent, and an enthusiastic reader. I do not mind light meal prep or light housework. I love taking care of babies and toddlers and love to watch them grow and learn. If you would like to see my resume or schedule a chat I would love to hear from you!

“Melissa was our son’s nanny for 4 years and is truly wonderful! She is loving, nurturing, and reliable. She is a clear & effective communicator no matter the topic. She brought patience and creativity as he developed and grew. She was also proactive about planning and taking him on adventures to parks, libraries, and other local spots. To this day, our son remembers her as “kind, helpful, and playful.” If we had the opportunity to hire her again, we would in a heartbeat!”

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am 26 years old. I have 10 years experience with babysitting and nannying (the video on my profile is a few years old) for newborn babies-10 years old. Your child will be in a supervised, safe, and stable environment. I am responsible and reliable. I believe I could be a great fit for you, your children and your family.

I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna

“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”
