Paloma $25 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of paid childcare experience in a variety of settings. I am currently a nanny, and love to supported children’s with their daily routines, helped with homework, prepared meals, and created a safe, engaging environment. I also currently work at Special Education school, where I assist with children’s care, supervision, and classroom activities. My experience has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills, and I’m comfortable working with different ages and needs. I always aim to build positive relationships with the children and families I support.

Princess $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Princess, a recent empty nester who recently relocated to the area with my husband for his career. As I settle into my new community, I’m excited to offer childcare support to local families while continuing something I’ve always loved—nurturing, caring for, and spending time with children. While I don’t have an extensive professional nanny or babysitting background, I do have something equally valuable: years of hands-on parenting experience. I’m a mom of four, ranging in age from 12 to 30, so I’ve experienced just about every stage of childhood! My youngest is on the autism spectrum, which has also given me a personal understanding of the patience, flexibility, and extra care that children with different needs may require. I currently work remotely in a full-time position with East Coast hours. I’m typically finished with work around 2:00 PM, which gives me plenty of availability for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I’m also open to caring for younger children during the day, depending on the schedule and needs of the family. My goal is to be a flexible resource for families who may not fit into the traditional childcare schedule—whether you work irregular hours, need coverage outside of typical daycare hours, have an appointment or event, want a few hours to yourself, are planning a date night, or simply need an occasional overnight break. I’m also happy to lend a hand with the things that can make a busy household run a little smoother, including light meal or dinner prep, kitchen cleanup, and laundry. Most importantly, I want families to feel comfortable knowing their children are with someone who is dependable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys being around kids. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help!

Hi there! :) My name is Maddie, I’m currently completing my nursing pre requisites online and am about to get my CNA license. I work part time at a coffee shop and am looking to fill my evenings during the weekdays, and I’m available all day Sundays and Mondays! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love working with kids, I have a younger brother who I’m inseparable with and grew up with lots of younger cousins. I’ve been babysitting on the side since I was 15 and have gained valuable experience with the 3-10y/o age range. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school or extracurriculars, tutoring, preparing meals, and arts and crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can clean, take dogs on walks, and run errands. I love all animals and would gladly housesit for a family with pets 🐾

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 29 families in Washoe Valley, NV

Hi, my name is Amanda. I’ve been a professional nanny over 10 years. I have taken many early childhood education courses, including the child psychology, health safety and nutrition, practices and principles of teaching young children, child and adolescent growth and development, child family and community, introduction to curriculum, and teaching in a diverse society. I started baby sitting when I was 16, and have always loved working with children. I am very patient, and have experience with developmentally appropriate activities and positive child guidance. If you choose, I can bring crafts and other activities such as story time with felt boards depending on your child's interest. I am also a great date night sitter. I live in Reno, but I’m open to travel up to South lake I do charge a flat rate travel fee to cover gas. Thank you for taking the time to consider me.

“Amanda took excellent care of our 8 month old son. We were visiting Reno and gone for the evening for a wedding. Amanda brought some children books to read, and communicated with us promptly when our baby was refusing his bottle of breastmilk. She managed to get him to drink some formula, and easily put him to sleep when it was bedtime. Highly recommend Amanda!”
