Zuriel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zuriel and I’m passionate about supporting families and creating a calm, organized home environment. I’m currently pursuing a career in occupational therapy and have hands-on experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including children with developmental and physical needs. I’m reliable, nurturing, and love creating meaningful routines that support kids’ growth while making life easier for parents. ⸻ Child Care I have several years of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to school-aged kids. I currently work part-time as a nanny and also provide respite care for a 2-year-old with cerebral palsy. I enjoy engaging kids in developmentally appropriate play, sensory activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or school readiness skills. I’m trained in child development and safety practices through my occupational therapy education, and I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every child care setting. I can also cook simple, healthy meals and assist with bedtime routines or transitions. ⸻ Pet Care I’m comfortable around pets of all sizes and breeds, including dogs and cats. I can assist with feeding, walking, playing, and light grooming if needed. I’m also okay with animals that shed and can provide loving attention and companionship while you’re away. ⸻ Household Services I truly enjoy cleaning, organizing, and creating functional spaces. I can assist with daily tidying, deep cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, decluttering, errands, and meal prep. I bring a detail-oriented, efficient approach to every task and am happy to use your supplies or bring my own cleaning equipment if requested. ⸻ Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’d love to connect and see how I can make your life easier!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Stoughton, WI

Hello, I currently work as paraprofessional at highline elementary school working towards a masters in elementary education. I have been a live in or nanny twice in my career. I have 14 years plus of experience . I love working with kiddos and doing all the things kids love to do. My main background is in photography as I own my own business and trying to get that full time. I specialize in mainly elementary school age kiddos working with them in getting them to where they need to be in school and other areas in life.

“Lacey and I worked together in my kindergarten classroom, where she served as a one-on-one paraprofessional. She is incredibly kind, patient, and passionate about supporting students, always putting their needs first. Lacey has strong communication skills and builds meaningful connections with both students and staff/families. Outside of the classroom, she continues to share her love for working with children through babysitting and nannying, where she brings creativity, energy, and fun to every experience.”

Susie $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a (mostly) retired parent of two college-age children. Now that my kids are living at college, I have time to help other families with caretaking. I'm a reliable and punctual person, with a dependable vehicle (mid-sized SUV). I'm very familiar with the City of Madison, and all that it has to offer. I'm a mature adult with modern sensibilities. I'm friendly, energetic, modern, and a great communicator. I enjoy reading with children, playing games, visiting parks, and making sure that everyone is safe and comfortable. I have experience with both dogs and cats, as we have one of each at our house. My schedule varies from week to week, so I am not able to commit to a long-term schedule of care. I'm primarily interested in helping on an occasional basis for up to 6 hours at a time. However, I am flexible, so feel free to make a request that fits your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
