Hello! My name is Lu (short for Luisa—easier to remember, right?). I’m excited to offer occasional babysitting services on weekends, weeknights, and overnight stays. As an experienced ESL teacher with over three years in the classroom, I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to my work with children. Beyond teaching, I’ve worked as both a live-in and live-out nanny for multiple families, caring for children of all ages. My experience includes managing the needs of larger families—such as four children in two households, three in another— and I’m currently the full-time nanny for two wonderful little ones: a five-year-old and a two year old toddler. I’m an active and creative person who loves spending time outdoors hiking, doing crafts, and engaging children in fun, hands-on activities. For older kids, I’m happy to provide craft or jewelry-making tutorials to help spark their creativity and encourage new skills. I’m known for being responsible, loving, honest, versatile, and open-minded—all qualities that I believe are essential for nurturing and guiding children. I grew up in a family that taught me the importance of respect, responsibility, and self-confidence, and I strive to instill these values in the children I care for. I firmly believe that home is a child’s first school, and I’ll do my best to create an environment where your children feel supported, inspired, and, of course, have a lot of fun! Thank you for considering me to care for your little ones. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring my experience and enthusiasm to your household. Warm regards, Lu
“Lu was warm and easy to communicate with, on time and professional, did a great job. Would hire again!”
I'm a caring and creative caregiver with hands-on experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children ages 2-5 for a full school year. In the classroom, I have worked with children with neurodivergent, including ADHD and autism. I have over 6 months of babysitting/nannying experience working with 8-month-olds to 6-year-olds. In addition, I am an eldest daughter who has basically raised my younger sisters, who are now in their late teens, so I technically have years of experience with up to 17-year-olds. I have an associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, giving me a strong understanding of developmental stages and age-appropriate care. I am also First-Aid & CPR-certified and fully vaccinated. My top strengths include planning engaging activities, encouraging imaginative play, and supporting children's growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn, explore, and feel confident being themselves!
“Heart was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and I was able to quickly book her on a last minute basis. Heart was gentle with my one year old and I could tell she had experience with little ones because she asked all the right questions and was in tune with my baby while following my instructions. Heart entertained my little one and was very respectful. I felt at ease knowing my baby was taken care of so I could work in peace. ”
Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a 23-year-old college student with years of experience caring for both children and animals. I work as a veterinary assistant, and also worked at a Boys and Girls club. I truly love helping and caring for others—whether that means keeping kids safe and engaged or making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. I’m reliable, responsible, and patient, and I take pride in creating a safe and positive environment. I’m available most evenings and early mornings, which is perfect for morning dog walks or helping get children ready for the day. My hourly rate is flexible depending on ages and specific needs. While I don’t have a car, I’m dependable with scheduling and committed to showing up on time. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your family or pets — feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Isabella was amazing with our 15 month old who has major stranger danger! Isabella was able to win over our daughter immediately and our daughter had a great time with her! Isabella is great!”
Hi, my name is Oumaima. I'm 28 years old and I'm originally Italian. I consider myself a very reliable, patient and happy person. :) I truly enjoy spending time with kids so that makes my job a lot easier to do, I do love teaching them new things and be able to help them improve their skills. I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5years (newborns- 12/15yo) so I know how to handle a workload and be on top of the situation at all times. I am a very energetic and outgoing person who enjoys outdoors activities and sports. With the previous kids i worked with, we enjoyed going to the library together and read in italian/english; go to music classes, as well as gymnastic and yoga classes. If the situation allowed it we would spend the day at the museum or have playdates with our little friends at the park, of course, depending on the age of the children activities tend to vary but i'm sure we'll find something exciting and fun to do! Previous experiences also include -sleep training -introduction to solid food/finger food -potty training -laundry wash/fold No need to mention that maintaining some sort of order in the house at all times and help with light housekeeping/meal prep. if necessary is totally fine and understandable; obviously my goal as a nanny is to provide the best environment possible for both the children and the parents. My first language is italian but I also speak english, spanish and arabic. I would be very happy to introduce the kids to different languages but if not required english works perfectly fine. I hope i was able to tell you a little bit about myself, but if you'd like to learn more please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Wish you a great rest of your day Thank you -UMI
