Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a nurse and have been working for 6 years. I have worked the longest (and currently work) in primary care which includes children of all ages. Prior to my nursing degree, I was a nanny and caregiver throughout college (4 years), and I babysat in high school too (all ages). I am hoping to offer nanny services on my off days to help save for our own little one in the next year or so :) I love children of all ages and am excited to meet new families!

Maryam $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maryam and I have been working with kids for the last 7 years. Childcare is something that I care so much about and put my whole heart into. My previous jobs have been an Education Director at the Boys and Girls Club, a youth development professional for before and after school care, an educator, a tutor, and a swim instructor. I'm also certified in First Aid and CPR, fully vaccinated, and passionate about making sure that all of the kids I work with are cared for and happy :) As the middle child of six siblings, l've grown up knowing how important family is, and my natural warmth and responsibility shine through in everything I do. I'm currently pursuing my college education, mostly online, which helps me have a more flexible schedule. So! If you're looking for a babysitter who's fun, friendly, empathetic, dependable, and experienced, then l'd love to meet you and your kiddos!

Mary $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mary, and I'm looking for a part-time nanny position. I spent 17 years running my own preschool and childcare program, caring for children from newborns through kindergarten. With a business degree and extensive coursework in early childhood education, I bring both professional experience and a true passion for nurturing young minds. I've also had the joy of raising three daughters of my own, all now college graduates, giving me a personal understanding of children's needs. I'm patient, dependable, and love spending time with kids, whether it's reading, playing, helping them learn, or simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

kaje $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Kaje (Pronounced Cage), a warm, grounded, and dependable caregiver with naturally sunny disposition and nearly 50 years of hands-on experience. I truly believe that children teach us how to play, animals teach us how to love, and our elders teach us how to live. ​Childcare & Family Support: As a parent and proud grandparent to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 5), I bring decades of real-world experience in creating safe, engaging, and joyful environments. My caregiving journey started early with neighborhood babysitting, and today I love being an active, steady presence for the playful and wise ones in my life. Whether reading stories, assisting with daily routines, facilitating creative play, or helping with after-school pickups, I meet children with patience, warmth, and genuine care. ​Senior & Elder Care: I hold our older generations in the highest regard. Seniors possess an incredible wealth of wisdom, life experience, and relevance that deserves deep respect and reverence. I cared for my grandmother while she was in elder care, and I had the profound privilege of providing full late-stage and end-of-life care for my mother. This included managing complex medication routines (including pain management under medical guidance), maintaining personal comfort and dignity, and offering steady emotional presence. I bring that same gentleness, honor, and attentive care to every senior I support. ​Pet Care & Sentient Companions: Animals are extraordinary, intelligent sentient beings, and I adore caring for them. I am a lifelong dog owner—previously loving an abused Pitbull, and currently sharing my home with our chiweener . I provide attentive pet sitting, walking, feeding, and genuine companionship for your furry family members. ​Communication, Emotional Balance & Household Support: With 20 years as a certified life coach, I bring strong emotional grounding and clear communication to every role. I excel at staying calm and centered—helping young children navigate big emotions while offering parents transparent, reliable updates. In addition to caregiving, I am happy to assist with household errands, grocery runs, and light organization to keep your home running smoothly. ​Whether your family needs trusted childcare, compassionate senior companionship, pet care, or dependable errand support, I look forward to bringing warmth and stability to your home.
