Dominique $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Dominique! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and became a full-time nanny at 17, caring for three families over three years. My experience includes getting kids ready for school, preparing lunches, school drop-offs and pickups, homework help, activities, and keeping a safe and fun environment. I also helped care for my three younger siblings and have experience caring for pets and helping families with light cleaning and household tasks. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a Director in senior living communities, which has strengthened my patience, communication, organization, and caregiving skills. I’m dependable, caring, and love helping families feel confident that their children are in good hands!
