Rebecca $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is becca and I am a 23 year incoming first year medical student. I have been babysitting since I was 10, starting with my youngest brother being born, and continued watching toddlers and school aged children throughout high school and college over weekends and summers. I love engaging in games and crafts, and can help out with meals and clean up. I myself have a 2 year old French bulldog, giving me much experience and care in high maintenance dogs. Before starting medical school, I have had jobs as a Certified Nurse Assistant on a cardiology and observation floor, college biology and chemistry tutor, clinical volunteer for senior patients, and participated in clinical research with a focus on pregnancy. Currently I am a medical assistant at a dermatology clinic.

Oriannie $26 per hour for 1 child
Hello ✨my name is Oriannie. I am currently seeking a position as a nanny, a role I truly carry out with love, patience, and dedication. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, supporting their development, and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them and their families. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person with experience providing quality childcare. I am currently available and very interested in a full-time position. I have attached my resume and would be happy to connect with any family looking for someone they can truly trust. I am a registered nurse, and my credentials have been officially recognized (validated) in the United States; therefore, I do not need a separate CPR certification. I would be happy to provide copies of my academic transcripts and other documentation. Yes, I drive to work. I take full responsibility for the baby's care; my duties include preparing meals and handling everything related to the baby, such as light housekeeping and facilitating routines that support their development. I can provide references from families I have worked with previously. Spanish is my native language, though this has never been an obstacle to my work. I hold a valid work permit for the United States ✨✨💗
