Natalia $31 per hour for 1 child

I've spent over a decade caring for children across a wide age range, from infants through early teens. My childcare experience began when I cared for my younger sister from ages 11 to 18, additionally I was a summer camp counselor for three consecutive years, first when I was 15. Since then, I've worked as a live-in nanny for multiple families. I spent one year with a 4-year-old boy, and another year I also cared for three girls (ages 8, 10, and 12) in another live-in position, helping with everything from homework to activities, driving them places, and building a supportive home environment. For the past five years, I've worked as a babysitter for children ranging from ages 2 to 13. I'm comfortable with bedtimes, meal prep, homework help, activities, and handling the day-to-day needs of different age groups. I’m reliable, patient, love doing fun things and generally create a fun and creative environment. I’m an artist and won’t say no to an arts and crafts project. I like talking to children about science and encourage them to learn.

I’m a caring, dependable caregiver with experience as a YMCA counselor, elementary classroom aide, and PE teacher. I’ve provided childcare for over 4 years and am a parent to a 9-year-old daughter. I also bring 5+ years of household services experience and 1 year of senior care, supporting two seniors with daily needs. I’m patient, organized, and genuinely love helping families feel supported and cared for.

"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."
