I’m a responsible, hard-working nanny with experience caring for kids ages 1-12. I babysat a 3-year-old girl, and helped care for my niece from infancy through age 4. I've also led a group of 9-year-old girls as a camp counselor, and taught evening Russian classes to 11-12-year-olds (boys and girls) at my church for several years. I'm patient, especially with kids, and I connect with them easily, making them feel safe, seen, and heard. A bit about me: I'm getting married next May, and I currently work two part-time jobs (office admin and massage therapy). I'm looking to step away from massage therapy for good and focus on nanny work going forward. I'm looking for a stable Monday-Friday schedule, ideally 2:30-6:30 p.m. (flexible to 7pm), around 20 hours/week.
Hi! I’m Kai. I work in an elementary school and have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. I enjoy helping with homework, crafts, outdoor activities, and daily routines. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
