Hi my name is Mary, in my mid 30s, behavior specialist in dogs and children. I have a very bubbly, go lucky personality. I have been an auntie since I was 15 years old, raising my nieces and nephews since they were infants. I am comfortable with feeding, playing, changing and putting a baby to sleep. I am comfortable with household errands, picking up/ dropping off for school, and pet care needs. You'll wonder why I want to be a nanny and why my profile is bland compared to most. My recent job I was working as a personal aide for a young adult with Autism and realized how much my presence gave my client reassurance and peace of mind. On top of that her daughter felt comfortable with me by her side so she can be independent. If the government had more funding she wouldn't have lost her grant and I wouldn't have lost my job and find another family to help. I did more than just drove her to her doctor appointments and helped make her meals, I was her protector, her voice, when she was crying I would comfort and talk her through it. When she could not talk or voice her feelings, I was her projector, I defended her and protected her peace of mind. I am an open book so please ask me anything, I just hope someone will give me a chance to make their life easier. I have client references to verify my hard work and continuous drive. I am more than just a nanny, I am someone they can trust more than family.
“Mary has been working with my 2 year old daughter as a part time nanny for several months and we cannot recommend her enough. She is sweet, kind, creative, and conscientious. She consistently shows up with energy, enthusiasm and a happy demeanor. My daughter now asks for her. Mary comes up fun and creative ways to entertain our toddler including trips to the park, zoo, library and museums. She is a safe driver and we are comfortable with her transporting our daughter around town. Together they do art, stickers, stamps, read books and have lots of imaginative play. She is excellent at communicating with me as she cares for my daughter in terms of where they are what they are doing. Mary gently follows my daughter’s lead as to daily activities, timeline for play, and her toddler energy level. She handles snacks, light meals, tidying up after play, and potty needs as well as packing for adventures outside the house. I have peace of mind knowing she prioritizing safely while caring for and entertaining my child. Thank you Mary!!!”

Hello! My name is Rowan and I currently work as a behavioral specialist in special education at a public high school. I have been babysitting since my early teens and have worked with children of all ages. I am happy to do any activities that your child is most interested in and passionate about! Whether that be crafting, outdoor adventures, putting on at-home recitals, or wherever their imagination takes them. I am willing to do all parts of your child’s routine, including cooking, bathing, cleaning, homework help, or whatever is required for your child to be happy, healthy, and safe!
Hi! My name is Mandana! I’m a professional woman, and a natural caregiver. But for now, I don’t have my own children, or have any caregiving responsibilities in my personal life. So, I am happy to share any extra time I may have, to care for my community, including your family. I have academic and professional knowledge and skills to support both children and elderly. And though I don’t have as much knowledge and/or experience with pets, I love caring for them too! Sadly, I am super allergic to cats, so I cannot serve homes that have cats. I’d be happy to discuss whether I’d be a good fit for your family needs. So please feel free to reach out.
I have experiences working for several families from different backgrounds. Which allows me to communicate and adjust easily with their culture and values in terms of giving cares to the kids. From newborns to pre-teens, I have given the best care and excellent performance. I have a degree and experience as a tutor, so I am able to help with the homework, art and craft, science experiment, story telling and reading, and doing activities outside the house such as swimming, going to the park, biking, tennis, soccer, basketball, and any other activities that will help your kids growth! I can help with meal preparation for babies, toddlers, and teens. As well as helping with light chores. Please contact me if you have any questions about my qualifications. Will be happy to meet you in person! Thank you 😊
