Hi! My name is Audrey, and I am an elementary school teacher. I am offering child care, housesitting, and household services for the summer, and for occasional jobs throughout the school year. I have been a babysitter and nanny for over twelve years. I enjoy taking care of kids of all ages! nny (My responsibilities have included driving to/from camps, sports and other activities. I can also cook, love to clean, and I am creative! I enjoy spending time with children and I know I would not be who I am without my nanny kids! I love dogs & cats! A little bit more about me: I have been a public school educator for 3 years, and have a background in special education. During highschool I worked 3 years in a row as summer camp staff, leading preschool groups and soccer camps. During highschool, I worked for Children’s Discovery as a teachers aide in the infant room. I have a variety of skills that I’ve collected over the years, and I would share them in a way that can help you and your family! - Audrey
Carolee $20 per hour for 1 child
I am looking to find a family that wants a hands on, caring and very interactive nanny/babysitter.. I love to read to and do crafts with my littles and I believe in fresh air and running around outdoors! I have cared for infants to pre teens and I have great recommendations from my previous full time nanny jobs! I also lived with my Dad for the last 2-1/2 years of his life at an Independent living center. I loved making friends with so many vibrant and interesting people there.

Hello! My name is Tana and I am 24 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 14, and have experience with all ages of kids. I also have experience working as an Au Pair in Italy, and as an assistant language teacher in Bosnia. In my free time I like to spend time outside, crochet, read, and play guitar. I have a very positive attitude and love to have fun. When I am spending time with kids, I love to do arts and crafts, play outside, cook/bake together, dance, and play with toys.
Christina $18 per hour for 1 child
I have been working with children since I was 9 but officially started at 13, and I fell in love with it! I primarily watched and cared for my 6 younger siblings, along with many of my family and friends children. I've worked with kids of all ages and I am also experienced with working with children who have autism. I have 3 younger brothers who all have autism. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games or making fun craft projects! And on special occasions baking treats :). I love kids and I take pride in the patience and discipline I’ve learned from it. I always strive to do the best and to have a strong hardworking mindset. And I always take working with children to the heart.
