Melissa $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents! I am a dedicated and caring part-time nanny/babysitter in NELA & mom of 3 with 18 years of experience in child care. With my youngest being autistic I have learned so much when it comes to children with challenges and the importance of advocacy. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and fun environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I’m skilled in creating age-appropriate activities, and offering emotional support to children and families. I know first hand how challenging things can be. My goal is to provide peace of mind to parents while offering a safe and enjoyable experience for the little ones in my care. I really enjoy engaging kids in activities that spark their creativity and curiosity. Some of my favorites include arts and crafts, playing outdoor games, reading fun books, baking together, singing and dancing! It's great to see their imaginations come to life! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves working with kids. Wether you need an extra pair of hands to sip on hot some coffee, help with laundry, events, organizing, stare at a wall with no interruptions I’m always happy to help in any way I can. I would love to connect and discuss how I can be of help to your family!

Vivien $25 per hour for 1 child

I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!

"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!"
