👋 Hi Everyone! My name is Agnieszka, I’m 47, and I’ve been a nanny for over 20 years. Taking care of kids has always been my passion 💕 Right now, I’m working with a sweet little girl who is 3 years old — I actually started with her when she was just 2 months old, so I’ve been part of her life since the very beginning 🍼✨ I also teach 5–6 year olds at a Polish school, so I bring a lot of teaching and playful learning into my nanny work. I love creating fun, safe, and warm environments for kids to grow and feel happy. 🌙 I’m currently looking for an evening nanny job after 5 PM. If you know a family who could use a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny in the evenings, I’d love to connect!
Hii, I’m Ana, I’m a loving, reliable, and patient nanny with years of experience caring for little ones. I love being part of their growth and creating a safe, fun space where they can learn and feel happy. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors. I can also help with meals and light housekeeping. Since I’m a nutritionist, your kids will always have healthy and balanced meals.

"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!"
