Marci $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a certified nursing assistant as well as a yoga teacher. I’ve been in hospitality for over 10 years. I’m very patient, friendly and love to be around people. My grandmother and I would watch all my mom’s friend’s children while they were at work from Infants to toddlers and I also worked at a gym teaching them poses. I do enjoy being of service to others who need it when I have the time, it brings me purpose in life. I’m very reliable and a trustworthy person.

Isabel $26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in University Park, FL

I've always had a deep passion for working with children, a passion that's been with me since my early years. My journey began as a teacher's assistant and tutor, and I later became a dedicated daycare worker for a year and for nearly seven years now, I've had the privilege of being a Nanny. What I find most fulfilling is being a part of a child's early developmental stages, shaping them for future success in school and life. I'm committed to fostering their growth, with a particular focus on activities that promote motor skills, sensory perception, and brain development. Understanding the unique needs of each age group is at the core of my caregiving approach. I want parents to feel confident and secure in my care, knowing that their children are safe & also happy & engaged. I aim to be more than just a nanny; I strive to be an integral part of the family. Thank you for taking the time to read, and I hope you'll consider me to be a part of your child's journey!
