My name is Ashley, I been a nanny for 20+ years age ranging from newborn to age 18. Nurturing children through various stages of development and managing household responsibilities. I have experience working with 4 children at a time ranging from infant to teenager. Managing both newborns and toddlers simultaneously can be demanding but manageable with some planning. I can involve the toddlers in gentle activities that won't disturb the newborn, such as coloring, building blocks, or playing with soft toys. While the toddlers are occupied, I can attend to the newborn's needs, such as feeding, changing diapers, or putting them down for a nap. It's all about finding a balance between meeting the needs of both age groups while ensuring their safety and well-being. I find joy in understanding children and what brings them happiness. Building those connections and seeing them smile is rewarding. I can transport children to various activities and taking care of light housekeeping and cooking.

Ashely worked for us for 6 weeks while our nanny was on vacation. She was amazing in all ways. She was quick to connect with both my kids (5 & 2) and brought them to new fun activities. She also was a huge help around the house and did everything from household items to family cooking. She is extremely responsive and organized. We loved having her as part of the family and will continue to have her babysit on date nights.

Hi there, family! My name is Rina I provide child care for ages 1-13 and offer pet services as well. I’m always surrounded by dogs, cats, and children, which feels like second nature to me since I come from a big family full of both! I’ve been caring for kids since I was 10 years old when I first learned to change my nephew’s diapers. By 15, I started babysitting, and I’ve loved it ever since. Even at family gatherings, you’ll usually find me hanging out with the kids instead of the adults. My experience also includes being a preschool teacher at the YMCA and taking child development courses. I love tutoring and helping children develop their cognitive skills. I can’t wait to meet you and your family let’s connect! 😄

Rina was great! She had so much energy that our son was smiling and giggling the whole time!

Hi families! I’m Christina — a new mom and graduate student who truly enjoys caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting for almost 10 years, working with children of all ages, and I’ve also loved sharing language through my experience as a Mandarin tutor. Being a parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I’d be honored to support your family and give you peace of mind.
