Amanda Wauwatosa
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I’m a confident and safe driver, CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m very comfortable around water — I know how to swim and always prioritize safety. I grew up in a family where care and responsibility were part of everyday life: my father was a firefighter and my mother is a nurse, which taught me the importance of safety, calmness, and quick thinking in any situation. I love helping children grow in a safe, organized, and loving environment. I’m happy to assist with organizing children’s spaces, tidying up toys, and light cleaning related to the kids, helping families keep a smooth daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy being part of a child’s development. I would love to support your family and create a positive, caring environment for your kids

Elena Milwaukee
$18 per hour for 1 child

I'm looking for a job that is available on the weekends Thursday night or Friday as I am a busy college student and want to give all of my attention to the job. I'd describe my personality as energetic, hard-working, and friendly. I have been a built in babysitter for my 8 cousins most of my life, but I started babysitting for others at the age of 12. I babysat a family of 4 kids from 14 until I graduated high school and then took a break during the first few years of college even though I still regularly watch family ages 3 months - 13 yrs old. In my spare time, I like to play and supervise volleyball, softball, and other sports. I also love to cook and bake and enjoy any form of art. My skills include CPR, working with individuals with neurodivergencies (ADHD, Autism, etc.), and cooking/cleaning. I am potentially looking for more full time work starting in August but I have classes towards the middle of my day so before and after school nannying would work best. Overall, I love kids and I have been around them a lot growing up in a big family. My favorite thing about babysitting is seeing how unique kids are and how amazing and different each one of their personalities is. It take great care to foster a safe environment that they have fun in and feel comfortable and I really take pride and joy in that.
