$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working as a Nanny with ranging in age from 4 months and up to the age of 14 years old. My duties are to take care of the children, engage with them, and to provide a safe environment on a day to day basis, including, their laundry, make their beds, organize their closets, clean their shoes and organizing their toys. Sometimes they need help with homework so I assist with projects and study sessions. I assist in activities such as board games, basketball, swimming, cooking and baking. I’m also responsible for taking them to their afternoon activities such as tennis, ballet, ju jitsu, etc. I also traveled with the families.

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm an FIU student, studying data analytics and business administration. I've got tons of experience with little ones – think toddlers and school-aged kids. I spent a whole summer, and parts of the school year, being a go-to for a fantastic 7-year-old boy. We had a blast! I was there for them for about 3 years, weekends, evenings, homework help, you name it. I'm super easygoing, patient, and gentle. I’m a big reader, so I'm always up for story time. And even if homework isn't their favorite thing, I'm great at finding ways to make it fun and engaging. I'm happy to pitch in with light household stuff too – a little cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, switching laundry, making snacks or dinner, whatever helps make your life a bit easier. I'm a great cook and a reformed picky eater so if you have one of those I'm the girl for the job! Also, I have a tree nut allergy myself, so I totally get the importance of allergy awareness and know how to use an EpiPen. Safety first! I'm excited to meet you and your family!
