Hello, my name is Guadalupe and I am currently offering child care, senior care and household care services. I love taking care of children as young as newborns.

Hi families! My name is Rafaella, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with 9+ years of professional experience caring for children from newborns through the teenage years. I’m currently available on weekends only for occasional babysitting, date nights, and one-time childcare opportunities. I have extensive experience with childcare, mother’s helper, and family-assistant responsibilities. I’m comfortable with meal preparation, children’s routines, activities, and keeping little ones engaged through outings, arts and crafts, and age-appropriate play. I’m reliable, nurturing, organized, and genuinely love what I do. I look forward to connecting with families looking for dependable weekend care!

Hello! I’m Amina, and I have several years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. As a caregiver, I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and kind. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing are important to me! You can expect me to be fully engaged with your children. A few activities I might do with them (depending on their age and interests) are reading stories, doing crafts projects, playing board games, making friendship bracelets, or playing with outdoor chalk. My priority is to keep your children happy, healthy, and safe. If you choose to book with me, you can count on me to be dependable and attentive. Thanks for reading and please reach out if you have any questions!

"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!"
