I have over five years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician with children and teenagers ages 2–17. I have supported children with different communication, behavioral and developmental needs in both home and community settings. My experience includes helping with daily routines, play, homework, communication skills, social skills and age-appropriate activities. I am also familiar with PECS, basic ASL, positive reinforcement and safely responding to challenging behaviors. I am patient, dependable and attentive and I always work to make children feel comfortable, understood and safe. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both children and their families while providing care that fits each child’s personality and individual needs.
“Kulvir looked after my 1-year-old son for the day. She was punctual, warm, and kept him engaged the entire time with books, toys, and lots of interaction. She took care of feeding him meals, cleanup, diaper changes, and rocked him to sleep for his nap. My son noticeably loved spending time with her. As an anxious parent checking in throughout the day, she completely put my mind at ease. I feel fully confident having her watch him again and highly recommend her!”
With over 2 years of experience as a professional nanny, I bring a deep understanding of child development and a passion for creating engaging, educational environments.

“Huda was great with our son. Will hire again!”
I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!

Hello! I have been a nanny for over 20 years and have worked with multiple families full time and have done occasional babysitting. I am extremely reliable and believe in "if you are on time, you are late". I am CPR certified and Trustline registeted. I have been with my current nanny family for 15 years! I have taken care of all ages from newborn to teenagers. Nannying is my career and is something that is very important to me. I enjoy reading, sports animals (I am happy to walk dogs), and being someone children feel safe with. I am currently the team manager of my current nanny childs hockey team. I am fun, but consistant. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"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."
