Emannuela $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Emannuela, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil, where I graduated in Early Childhood Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher for five years before moving to the United States. I have over seven years of full-time childcare experience in the U.S., including two years as an au pair in New York, caring for a baby from 3 months to 2 years old, and five years as a nanny in Maryland, looking after three wonderful children between 1 month and 8 years old. I truly enjoy being around kids, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment. I’m currently transitioning careers, but I still love connecting with families and offering occasional babysitting. I’m available after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day and night on weekends, and I’d be happy to help with date nights or special occasions. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for senior companionship, dog sitting, and running errands. Looking forward to speaking with you, Emannuela

Serena $14 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.
