nalini $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nalini. I'm a dependable and nurturing caregiver with over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience. I'm 22 years old and began babysitting at age 15. Caring for children, especially infants and toddlers, has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I've cared for children in both personal and professional settings. I've had the privilege of caring for twin baby girls from infancy through age 5. I also regularly care for my godson and niece, both born in 2021, and have been helping care for them since birth, they're now 4 years old. Most recently, I've been caring for my newest niece who was born in January 2025, so I'm very familiar with the needs of young infants. I specialize in providing calm, attentive care for one to two children at a time, where I can focus on their individual routines, development, and emotional needs. I am CPR certified, and your child's safety and well-being are always my top priority. In addition to my caregiving experience, I'm a licensed real estate professional, which has helped me become highly organized, reliable, and clear in communication. I have my own transportation and flexible availability. Whether you're looking for a reliable babysitter or an experienced infant caregiver, I'd love to support your family with care, consistency, and compassion!
