Michaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Michaela. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including babysitting, professional nannying, AuPair support, and leadership roles in early childhood education. I worked as a Lead Teacher and Assistant Director at a bilingual international daycare, creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. I am warm, responsible, organized, and experienced working with children and families. I truly enjoy building strong connections with families and creating a supportive, positive environment where children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am also currently continuing my education to become a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, which reflects my passion for supporting both children and families at every stage.

Daniela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Daniela 😊 I’m originally from Colombia, so I’m fully bilingual and love teaching kids Spanish in a fun, natural way through games, conversations, and everyday activities. I’m a caring, responsible, and creative babysitter with hands on experience both professionally and within my own family. I spent a year and a half as a nanny in the U.S. through Cultural Care Au Pair, where I had the opportunity to work with two amazing families. In Texas, I cared for a big, energetic household of five kids (home schoolers), which taught me how to stay organized, patient, and fun all at once. In Connecticut, I cared for two girls, one of whom required extra attention and care due to medical needs. That experience made me even more empathetic, attentive, and detail oriented when it comes to children’s well being. On top of that, I’ve basically been “the family nanny” since I was 15 I have 8 nieces and nephews, and I’ve always been the one helping my siblings take care of them. Being around kids has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I genuinely love. Outside of childcare, I work in music and marketing, which makes me super creative and great at keeping kids entertained in fun, engaging ways. Whether it’s coming up with games, doing arts & crafts, or just making everyday moments more exciting, I love creating a positive and joyful environment. I also know how to swim, ride horses, drive, dance, makeup, hair, etc, and I love anything creative like makeup and styling so I’m always happy to bring a little extra fun and personality into the day. I’m reliable, warm, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel comfortable and updated. Looking forward to meeting a great family! 💛
