Alejandra $29 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alejandra ,In my previous roles as a nanny and childcare provider, I’ve supported families with daily routines, homework help, creative play, meal preparation, and light household organization. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and quick to adapt to each child’s individual personality and needs. Safety and communication are my top priorities — I always aim to make children feel secure, encouraged, and valued. I am certified in [CPR/First Aid if applicable] and can provide trustworthy references upon request. I’d love the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm, organization, and genuine love of working with children to your family. . I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you and learning more about your childcare needs. I am great with dogs .

Paige $20 per hour for 1 child

I have 3 years of babysitting experience and have always loved creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. Most recently, I've worked at The Little Gym for over a year and a half, where I've helped children ages 1-12 build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun through movement and play. In high school, I also spent 2 years in Crossage P.E., where I traveled to a local elementary school to teach P.E. to 1st and 2nd graders. As a first-year college student, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and responsibility to care giving. I'm very protective, dependable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with children of all ages. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I love being someone kids feel safe and excited to be around. In addition to childcare, I'm also very comfortable caring for animals. I've grown up around fish, large and small dogs, cats, reptiles, and even insects, so I'm confident working with a wide variety of pets. During my previous babysitting jobs, I regularly helped with household chores and cleaning, and I also prepared meals for the families I worked with. I'm always willing to help around the house however I can. I also have my own car and a valid driver's license, which allows me to commute reliably and provide transportation if needed.

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I'm Taylor. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 16, and after 12 years of experience, I’ve developed a true passion for working with children. I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently in law school, but spending time with kids is still one of my favorite things to do! Over the years, I’ve worked as a nanny and in after-school programs, and I have some wonderful references who can vouch for my skills and dedication. Fun-fact: I’ve worked as a nanny through three trusted nanny agencies nationwide, and I’ve built strong relationships that reflect in my great recommendations. One of my jobs sent me to Finland for a year for newborn care. I'm also CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for the little ones in my care. I'm currently in graduate school and continue to babysit part time and I can wait to add more families! Experience: Newborns: 8 years 1-13: 10 years Looking forward to connecting with you and your family soon!

"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!"
