Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

I’d describe my personality as fun, energetic and focused. I like working with kids because they are amazing and fulfill my love for nurturing. I'm looking for a job that is during the day, date nights or night nanny shifts. I started working with kids when I was in high school. I I ran the church nursery and babysat on the weekends. I continued to nanny through college. In my spare time, I like to build lego sets, take my kids on adventures and read. One thing you should know about me is I have been a professional nanny for 20 years, specializing in night nanny care and multiples. My skills include house management, newborn care, multiple children, cooking, light housekeeping, home organization and running errands.

Allison $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a pediatric dental assistant with a strong passion for working with children and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Before working in dentistry, I worked at a special needs office for children, where I gained valuable experience supporting kids with different needs and personalities. I also have a lot of personal experience caring for children. I have an eight-year-old brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, and my husband’s parents recently welcomed a baby boy who is now four months old. I spend a lot of time with him and truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I am patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and positive environment for kids to learn, grow, and feel supported.
