I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology. Native fluency in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. I am offering childcare and language tutoring services.

Lena $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi I'm a mother of three and grandmother of two--and my daughter in law is also expecting baby #3! I'm offering child care. I owned and operated my own shipping and packaging service center- and then became a full time stay at home mom! Currently, I am a teacher's aide and noon/lunch duty supervisor and babysit part time, via app. I'm very allergic to cats, and I never use harsh chemicals or scents (sensitive to these) in my home cleaning. I'm available on a part time basis while my children are in school or afterwards, as well as Saturday/Sunday. Currently, while my 13 yo daughter is on summer break I'm available mornings and afternoons and she would love to join me in babysitting.
Yoli $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Yoli. I have over 10 years of working with children and would love to work with you and your family. I have six years of experience as a teacher. Prior to teaching, I worked as a Youth Program Coordinator for a non-profit, overseeing childcare for newborns through kindergarten-aged children. I love caring for toddlers and school-aged children, helping with homework, crafts, and fun activities. I’m comfortable with children of all ages and enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. Do you have pets or require extra assistance around the house? No problem! I am happy to provide household help, including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have two dogs of my own and am comfortable caring for senior and large dogs.
Agnieszka $30 per hour for 1 child
👋 Hi Everyone! My name is Agnieszka, I’m 47, and I’ve been a nanny for over 20 years. Taking care of kids has always been my passion 💕 Right now, I’m working with a sweet little girl who is 3 years old — I actually started with her when she was just 2 months old, so I’ve been part of her life since the very beginning 🍼✨ I also teach 5–6 year olds at a Polish school, so I bring a lot of teaching and playful learning into my nanny work. I love creating fun, safe, and warm environments for kids to grow and feel happy. 🌙 I’m currently looking for an evening nanny job after 5 PM. If you know a family who could use a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny in the evenings, I’d love to connect!
