Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.

Catherine $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Hi – my name is Gabriela. I’m a college graduate and currently work part-time. I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services.

Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, organizing fun activities, or handling school pick-ups, I love creating a safe and engaging environment where kids feel supported and cared for. In addition to child care, I’m experienced with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to help make your daily routine a little easier.

Maria Olivia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I bring over 7 years of healthcare experience, including my background as a NICU nurse in the Philippines and as a Medical Virtual Assistant. My experience has allowed me to care for newborns, children, adults, and seniors, giving me a strong understanding of the importance of safety, patience, compassion, and dependable care. I’m happy to assist families with childcare, senior care, companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and everyday activities. I’m responsible, organized, attentive, and always mindful of each person’s individual needs and comfort. My healthcare background has taught me how to remain calm and prepared in different situations while providing care with kindness and respect. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision, and my goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in caring and capable hands. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can help make your day a little easier!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
