Hey there!! I am a 35 yr old who works in the union world and am looking to add a second job to my schedule. I was a baby off and of for 7 years towards the end of high school and until I was 25. Although it has been quite some time, in this industry, I am a sucker to work with kiddos. I help raise my nephew and niece who are now 11 & 16! They grow to dang fast! I love animals. And I’d love to help ya out. I look forward to hearing you !
Hi- My name is Khushi and I’m currently doing nanny job. I am offering child care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers and kids(including twins!) since I was 22 years old and I have experience 1.5 years in babysitting job. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am happy to work with families. Thanks.
Hello family! My name is Hildy. I’m a fun-loving, experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and CPR/First Aid certification. I enjoy being part of a child’s everyday world helping them learn, play, and feel safe and supported. I have taken early childhood education courses, incorporate Montessori methods, and have worked as an assistant to an after school teacher. I also have experience with children of different ages and needs, including ADHD, high-functioning autism (I’m familiar with IEP accommodations), and food allergies. I’m very mindful of safety and provide healthy meals or snacks. In addition to childcare, I also have experience in elderly care and companionship, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I’m dependable, punctual, calm, patient, and I support families with routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, meal prep, errands, and light housekeeping. I find caregiving to be a rewarding and fulfilling career, and I’m truly honored to be a part of a child’s growth and development.
My name is Chrissy, and I am a Chinese-American. I am passionate about cooking healthy meals—specifically therapeutic cuisine—and using ingredients to help manage health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep issues, and constipation. I was a former practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I left my unfulfilling job to reboot and find a new one. I love creativity and coming up with fun ideas and would be happy to look after your children and pets. I am responsible and follow instructions carefully. **Bookings within 24 hours: $45/hour **

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"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."
