$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 184 families in Sparks, NV

I am a nanny who absolutely loves children, child development and especially toddlers. I have 4+ years of teaching experience (preschool and kindergarten) and 3+ nannying. I moved back to the Bay Area with my husband to be closer to family and friends. I love pets, I have an adorable 2 year old sweet hyper doggy that I absolutely adore and 2 kitties we love very much! I’m NOT comfortable working for families that use spanking as discipline or any harsh disciplinary actions with children. I work best with families who have a gentle approach and can allow me to use a gentle, child led approach as well.

$35 per hour for 1 child

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and providing families with dependable childcare. My passion lies in fostering each child's unique growth and development, and I find joy in making a positive impact on their lives. I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to my care. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am adept at following parents' lead on household rules and communication preferences, offering verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or calls. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your family!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Miriam, I am a mom of 1 as of last year and I have experience with caring for my baby girl and also with nieces and nephews for the last couple of years. Hoping to find a loving family that I can work with while being able to bring my baby along. I’ve experienced first hand what it’s like trying to juggle childcare while working a full time job and also how hard it is to find someone caring enough to trust your babies with. I would love to put all of my time and effort to care for your babies, while bringing my baby along to help yours and my family thrive together.
