Olga $40 per hour for 1 child

My name is Olga, and I’m a dedicated and nurturing mother of three amazing teenagers, whom I’ve raised to be respectful, intelligent, kind, and independent. Parenting has been the most rewarding journey of my life, and it has shaped my deep passion for working with children. Through firsthand experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children's emotional, social, and educational needs. I am fluent in English, Russian, Spanish, and Hebrew, which gives me the unique ability to communicate and connect with children and families from many different cultural backgrounds. I strongly believe that every child is unique and has incredible potential. I take great joy in helping children discover their strengths and talents, whether it’s through creative activities, academic support, or simply spending quality time together. I am an outgoing, energetic person who loves to plan fun and meaningful activities for kids. I enjoy taking children on nature hikes, organizing outdoor games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and engaging them in cooking and baking. I believe these hands-on experiences not only teach valuable life skills but also build confidence and creativity. Being responsible and dependable is something I take very seriously. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for children. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and respect. I bring not only my love for children but also my life experience, multilingual skills, and positive energy to everything I do. I am truly passionate about helping children grow into the best version of themselves.

Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants.
