Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria, I’m 34 years old and I’ve baby sat since high school and college. I have a younger brother who is 8 years younger than me so I’m used to dealing with kids from a young age. I really enjoy kids and I always take the older sister approach when I’m taking care of them. I like to make the environment fun and light. :)

Ana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ana, I am 23 years old, and I have been working as a nanny in the United States for the past three months. I have a degree in Pedagogy and over three years of experience working with children as both a teacher and a nanny in Brazil. I am passionate about early childhood education and believe that every child deserves to grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and eager-to-learn person. Living in another country has given me the opportunity to experience new cultures, improve my English, and further develop my childcare skills. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I believe in the importance of kindness, respect, and lifelong learning. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families while providing children with attentive care, support, and plenty of encouragement as they grow and learn.

Tori $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tori! So lovely to connect. A little about my experience: I have 4 years of nannying experience with the same family - two kids under 11 (7-11). The kids had packed schedules (a more robust social calendar than I) and I loved helping them hone their talents, taking them to and from activities, and helping with homework. I find it fun and energizing to play and listen to and create with the kids. I also have 3 nephews ages 1, 3, & 5 and I’ve babysat them their whole lives. I’m comfortable with babies, toddlers and kid age. A little about myself: I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been living in the bay for 7 years now since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Psychology with a focus on child development. In my free time I like to do pottery, hike, and swim in the bay. I love pups - please let me pet your dog! I can’t wait to meet your family!

"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!"
