Grace $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace! I am an experienced and reliable nanny. I have worked as a part-time nanny/babysitter for close to 2 years, plus I have had years of experience caring for kids and babysitting my 5 younger siblings. My professional experience is with age ranges from newborn - 12 years. I am also very comfortable with newborns so helping a mom transition back into work by caring for her baby will be no issue at all! I love creativity and adventure, and love spending time with kids doing fun activities, playing outside, and going out and about. I’m always down for arts and crafts, dancing, baking, reading, and so much more! I’m good at sticking to routines and cleaning up after the kids and myself. I have safe and reliable transportation and a valid driver license and am willing to drive the kids when needed. I can also provide references. I would love to talk more about what nannying for your family could look like :)
