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.

Hi there, I'm Rachel from Australia. I've worked with children for 15 years whilst travelling the world and absolutely love it! My experience includes: - Summer Camp Counsellor at Mountain Camp in California where I lived with, and was responsible for a cabin of 10 girls. I led outdoor activities including yoga, dance and drama, ropes course, lake activities and biking and hiking for children between 5 - 13 years old. - Teaching Assistant in the UK at a private school (Gad's Hill) working with children aged 3 - 16. This included assisting with daycare, english, math, art classes, taking swimming lessons and after school care. - Casual nannying jobs looking after infants - 15 year olds. - Ski instructing in Canada for 5 - 17 year olds. I have my level 2 CSIA ski instructor certification so can provide ski lessons and on-mountain care, depending on your child's ability level. I'm a big kid at heart and relate very easily with children, I'm also organised and believe that some structure can be really important. I'm always down to help with homework and meal prep too - Let me know about what's important for your family and I look forward to meeting you!

We've had Rachel watch our 8 month old twice now and couldn't be happier. She's always punctual, super easy to communicate with, and just handles everything like a pro, even multitasking things like meal prep while keeping an eye on the baby. Our little one warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend!

Booked by 29 families in Washoe Valley, NV

Hello families! I'm a local artist who loves to share my creativity with children of all ages. I've traveled teaching art around the world and i'm alway saving for another trip to expand my knowledge and friendships. My experience nannying spans over 15 years since my first little sibling was born when I was 10. I now have 3 younger siblings and have always felt like a second mom in the family. Caring for and nurturing children will always be part of my life because I firmly believe in mentorship. We all have to work together to become the people we are today. I usually bring an art bag and some hula hoops along with me and depending on the ages and some books! I can drive to any location also. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to meeting you, have a beautiful day ! :)

tailor was great! she was prompt, very flexible when our childcare needs shifted, and wonderful with our 17 month old daughter! we would definitely use tailor again!

Hi my name is Sheri, I love children of all ages, having raised two of my own, I also had the privilege to care for my newborn grandson until he was two years old and started preschool. I have been lovingly caring for children for many years and started as a teenager. Most recently I worked as a senior caregiver, finding it most rewarding.
