Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated caregiver with a Bachelors Degree in Exceptional Student Education with endorsements in Autism, English Language Learners and Reading. I have experience caring for children from infancy to age 12 as well as providing loving care for seniors and pets. As a former caregiver for my grandmother, I understand importance of patience, companionship and assisting with daily needs. I am also a pet owner and I am comfortable tending to dogs and other animals with care and responsibility. Being a mother to a two year old, I am very skilled at multi-tasking, nurturing, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I was previously a kindergarten teacher to Students with Autism in a cluster class before I stayed home as a mother. Since I am a stay at home mom, I work around when my mom is able to watch my daughter. I can always bring her along with me if you'd prefer the added bonus of a sweet and energetic 2 year old to make my availability more flexible. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets, I bring attentiveness and reliability to every role.

Maria $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.
