Breanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Breanna, I am looking for a nanny share position. I currently have a almost 2 year old and am looking to bring her along with me. She’s very easy going and independent and loves going on walks along with other activities! I have been working with children for several years; caring for a newborn and triplets were two of my first babysitting jobs. Along with having worked with kids of all ages and having three younger siblings, I am CPR and first aid certified. I love children and love being a mother and am excited to find the right family for us!

Victoria $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was a teenager. I also have a child myself. I am experienced in taking care of children in any age range. I have worked in ABA therapy and as a substitute teacher and para educator so I am also qualified to work with children with a range of disabilities. I am a psychology major and have a passion for helping others. I believe in a hands on approach when taking care of children and doing activities they enjoy to give them the best experience. I am allergic to animals so I unfortunately would not be able to help in home of pets.

Hi everyone, my name is Shelby. I'm currently a 5th-8th grade educator but have taken care of newborns, and worked professionally in environments with children as young as 3 and up to 17. I love creating fun and inclusive spaces for children which is why I've dedicated the last 8 years to working with them! I'm also a huge pet lover (with a rabbit and pug of my own) and would love to meet any fur babies of yours 😄. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications or experiences. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified.
