“Maria cared for our daughter from the time she was just three months old until she started school. During those years, she proved to be exceptionally reliable, professional, and caring. She always arrived on time, communicated clearly, and showed genuine love and attention to my daughter needs. Maria was attentive to every detail, from feeding and diaper changes to engaging our daughter in age appropriate developmental activities that helped her grow and thrive. Her calm and nurturing personality created a safe, happy environment that gave us complete peace of mind. Maria treated our home and family with the utmost respect, and we always knew our daughter was in excellent hands. We were truly sad to see her go when our little one began school. I highly recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver. Jessica M.”
Hi - My name is Val. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Valentyna has been a wonderful caregiver for our young children. She is consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and always communicates clearly, which gives us complete peace of mind. Beyond her professionalism, Valentyna is a genuinely kind person. Because she is a mother herself, she brings a deep level of understanding, empathy, and patience to her caregiving. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone reliable and wonderful!”
I teach students with disabilities for more than 10 years. Before that I was a high school science teacher for more than 10 years. I'm a single mom looking for a side gig so I can afford a place for my daughter and me. She is currently at her dad's full time and I am renting a room for myself. I am hard working, has good work ethics, and loves kids.
I am a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with around seven years of experience caring for children, especially infants from 0 to 11 months. I have always been passionate about childcare—ever since my first contact with a baby, even when I was still a child myself, I naturally developed a strong caregiver instinct. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I drive, and I can speak both Portuguese and English. I truly believe caring for children is a mutual exchange: while I help shape their early development with love, patience, and responsibility, they also teach me and help me grow as a person. I genuinely enjoy providing safe, attentive, and loving care to these little human beings.
Hello Families, My name is Malena, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience supporting children from infancy through early teens. I’ve worked as both a nanny and an au pair, where I learned to assist families with daily routines, homework help, safe transportation, and creating a warm, supportive environment for their children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and a licensed driver. I am reliable, communicative, and actively involved in children’s growth and well-being. I currently work as nanny live-in watching a beautiful and smart little boy for single mother who is transitioning to a different care arrangement. Because of this I’m looking for a full-time position starting at the end of January to the beginning of February. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your needs and share how I can help. Thank you for your consideration! — Malena
“Malena was helpful and proactive with the kids. I admired that she was able to execute the evening routine well her first day with us! She was communicative and not afraid to ask us questions which gave me a peace of mind whilst I was away from home. We came home to a clean and tidy home which was nice bonus. Thank you for your help. ”

"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!"

"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."
