Melissa $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents! I am a dedicated and caring part-time nanny/babysitter in NELA & mom of 3 with 18 years of experience in child care. With my youngest being autistic I have learned so much when it comes to children with challenges and the importance of advocacy. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and fun environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I’m skilled in creating age-appropriate activities, and offering emotional support to children and families. I know first hand how challenging things can be. My goal is to provide peace of mind to parents while offering a safe and enjoyable experience for the little ones in my care. I really enjoy engaging kids in activities that spark their creativity and curiosity. Some of my favorites include arts and crafts, playing outdoor games, reading fun books, baking together, singing and dancing! It's great to see their imaginations come to life! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves working with kids. Wether you need an extra pair of hands to sip on hot some coffee, help with laundry, events, organizing, stare at a wall with no interruptions I’m always happy to help in any way I can. I would love to connect and discuss how I can be of help to your family!

Courtney $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.

"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!"
