Hello! My name is Olga and I am 24 years old. I currently work at a law firm and I am looking for side jobs. I have two younger cousins aged 13 and 15 and helped raise them a lot when they were kids and have continued to take care of them throughout the years. I have also been babysitting on the side for a few months now. I love doing activities and I am up for pretty much everything! Im very good with kids and will always do my best to keep the parent happy!
Hi! My name is Daisy, and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages. I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and keeping daily routines organized. I’m patient, dependable, and bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with a wide range of families. I’m currently a college student studying Political Science, and I bring strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills to every family I work with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their children feel happy, cared for, and encouraged every day. I look forward to becoming a positive and reliable part of your family’s routine!
Hello! My name is Carly, and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior graduating in 2026. I’m looking to gain more babysitting experience as I prepare to pursue a nanny career this summer. I’ve been around children my entire life. I come from a big family and helped care for my younger cousins from a young age. I also helped care for my best friend Ned for four years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness early on. Growing up in after-school programs further helped me learn how to interact with children of all ages, play fairly, and understand right from wrong. Since age 16, I’ve worked in restaurants, including Shake Shack and currently as a Starbucks barista. These roles strengthened my communication skills, punctuality, honesty, and cleanliness. I interact with children daily and genuinely enjoy helping them. Kids naturally gravitate toward me, and I love supporting families. I’m hardworking, reliable, and ready to adapt to your family’s needs. While I’m not currently CPR/First Aid certified, I have hands-on experience and am happy to get certified if required. Thank you for your time and consideration!

"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!"
