I am a caring, responsible, and reliable caregiver with experience working with infants and toddlers. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I have experience with daily childcare routines, including feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, nap schedules, playtime, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I love planning fun and educational activities such as reading, arts and crafts, sensory play, music, outdoor adventures, and creative games that encourage learning through play. Families describe me as patient, attentive, trustworthy, organized, and proactive. I believe open communication is essential, and I always strive to support each family's routines, values, and parenting style. My most recent position was caring for a baby for over a year, from 9 months old to 21 months old. I have also cared for newborns, 3-month-old infants, and 1-year-olds, which has given me a strong understanding of the different stages of infant development and the unique needs of each age. In addition, I have experience caring for children ages 4, 7, and 9, as well as managing the needs of multiple children at once. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Jani has a warm, grounded energy, and she was incredible with our 8-month-old! She’s super experienced with infants: she jumped right in, naps and bottles went smoothly, and she was a great communicator. She was happy to adapt to our routine. We will definitely book her again!”

Hi there :) thank you for clicking on my profile! I’ve been working with kids for over 9 years now and I think I can say I've truly found my passion! I have a teaching background and I love to make my work meaningful and mindful, always making sure I’m present for my kids helping them grow and develop as beings. My teaching style leans more towards Waldorf and Montessori and I prefer to work for no screens families (even better if you don’t have TV at home). I’m from Brazil and I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m very responsible and proactive, I tend to fix things as I go instead of being asked to do it. I have a CPR certificate and First Aid Training. I play the ukulele and I’m also a certified Music Together teacher, I legit sing ALL THE TIME. If you’re into music we’ll definitely get along! I make sure to always have my ukulele with me for awesome dance parties and music time. I graduated as a Health Coach back in 2020 and I’m now studying Plant Based cuisine. I absolutely love cooking and will have the best time cooking healthy meals for your family and maybe even getting the kids involved in the mess! I also love baking so I might bring a cake to share every now and then! I’m a morning person and love to look at the bright side of things! So I think a big sum up of me would be a mix of music, health, good food and lots of happiness! I like to work for families that value the work I do and care about growing as individuals and learning together. Having a safe environment for open communication is very important to me! Thank you so much for reading my profile :) if you feel like we could be a good match please don’t hesitate to contact me! You can find more info on my cooking schedule on manuelalilliston.com/

“Manuela brought such wonderful energy to our home and was immediately a natural with our kids. My 10 month old warmed up to her right away. She even prepped some food and left the house tidy. Would absolutely work with her again!”

Hi! My name is Mariana, I’m an art student and childcare provider with 6+ years of experience currently offering backup care and occasional babysitting. Also open to pet sit! (I’m a dog owner and lover hehe). I’m a responsible, dedicated and experienced professional nanny with a background in art education - very creative and patient. I absolutely love working with kids and have been watching infants through toddlerhood and kids - including siblings and experience in a nanny share set up. My responsibilities have included driving to/ from school and activities, museum/ library/ parks visits, arts and crafts and help with school projects/ homework. My job also involves cooking/ cleaning after the kids and running errands for the families if need to. I’m originally from Brazil and I love traveling and learn new cultures. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and I’m learning Italian. I can adapt and learn with ease. Currently I have a fix schedule with a couple of families and looking forward working with new amazing families either in a regular basis or occasionally. Open to last minute backup care if I’m available - i keep my calendar up to date. Happy to schedule phone/ video interviews and I do my best to keep parents comfortable while their kiddos are on my care! Thank you :)
