Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna, an experienced and dependable caregiver who has loved working with kids since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families regularly and even spent a summer as a live-in nanny in the Hamptons caring for three children. My background includes a career in creative and client-focused roles, which has made me super organized, patient, and adaptable. I love planning fun, screen-free activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy traveling, being in nature, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m great with pets, and committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy.

Hello. My name is Goldie. I'm 49 years old and have many years of experience providing safe and loving care to children of all ages, from infants to grade schoolers. I truly love children, and give my all to provide a fun, supportive and learning environment. I believe they are angels on earth and I am blessed to be around them. I prefer non-smoking environments, and am comfortable with household pets. I am happy to provide references; some of my families I have been giving care to for over eleven years!

Bonnie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Bonnie. I work part-time as an accountant and am looking to fill my days helping others. I love working with kids. Being the youngest of 7 children, I grew up with the unique opportunity to be an aunt of over 20 nieces and nephews combined. I was their fun, kind aunt and they loved when I'd babysit and help care for them. Those years really showed me how to work with children of all ages. Aside from my family, I have experience tutoring children from 1st to 5th grade in reading and math and was a girls middle school and high school basketball coach for 5 years. I love working with elderly individuals. Both sets of my grandparents lived with me and my parents at different times as I was growing up. I played an active role in caring for them by making them meals, assisting them, and just visiting with them. I appreciate hearing the stories of their backgrounds and places they've been. I've found it's providing them company and someone to talk to that really cheers them up and motivates them. I'm a dog magnet. Dogs know a kind soul when they see one. Dogs are the best kind of animal, and I have over 21 years experience owning and caring for them. From chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors.
