Booked by 2 families in Opa Locka, FL

Hello families, my name is Viorika and I am offering child care, pet care, and housekeeping. I am an online community college student and have been taking care of family and friends’ little ones since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds. I volunteered at Elon Elementary with second graders helping them read and assisting teachers. I’ve done housekeeping and cleaning for AirBnB properties for 1 year, so you can take advantage of your free time while I tend to household duties. Whether it’s crafts time for your children or playing outside, I can be of service. I love art, being active, and learning. I can offer tutoring as I have taken 8 AP classes. I am offering short and longer-term nanny/childcare services. Additionally, I am proficient in Spanish and some Romanian. I can work at different hours and have a flexible schedule. I have no allergies and am willing to work with different animals. I can also provide pick up/drop off services and cook for your family. If there are other specific tasks to be accomplished, I will get them done. I am looking forward to meeting your family and be of assistance!

Hi everyone! I have been working with kids of all ages for about 10 years now but my main focus is early childhood. I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and have been a teacher in a classroom for about 4 years. I love working with children it's truly is one of my passions and I would love to take that passion outside of the classroom, have a bit more freedom and flexibility with the children I work with. Living in Florida im a big outdoors girl I love being able to take walks and enjoy the fresh air/water. I have a cat and a dog so I am familiar with those care services as well.

“Pamela was great! She was able to tame the little one from the first minute!”

Clarismel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clary. I’m a caring, dependable, patient, and responsible caregiver with previous nanny experience and a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves, learn, and have fun. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust with their children. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals and snacks, playtime, activities, light housekeeping related to the children, and keeping their space clean and organized. I’m also comfortable around pets and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines, household rules, and parenting preferences. I’m reliable, organized, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to make things a little easier for parents while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and happy while they’re with me. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need a trustworthy and dependable nanny or babysitter, whether that’s for consistent care or occasional help. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit!
