Hi, my name is Gig. I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. With over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids, I’ve enjoyed working as a full-time nanny, part-time nanny, and an au pair. I’m passionate about outdoor activities and love spending time in nature. Whether going for walks, playing outside, or organizing fun activities in the fresh air, I believe in keeping children active and engaged. I’m also an avid skier with a love for the mountains, and I enjoy sharing my excitement for the outdoors with kids.
“Tassanee came through for us in a last minute pinch. I cannot thank her enough. I booked her literally 1 hour before I needed help. She was a great communicator, professional and kept me updated. I would book her again.”
I have several years of paid childcare experience in a variety of settings. I am currently a nanny, and love to supported children’s with their daily routines, helped with homework, prepared meals, and created a safe, engaging environment. I also currently work at Special Education school, where I assist with children’s care, supervision, and classroom activities. My experience has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills, and I’m comfortable working with different ages and needs. I always aim to build positive relationships with the children and families I support.
Hi there! :) My name is Maddie, I’m currently completing my nursing pre requisites online and am about to get my CNA license. I work part time at a coffee shop and am looking to fill my evenings during the weekdays, and I’m available all day Sundays and Mondays! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love working with kids, I have a younger brother who I’m inseparable with and grew up with lots of younger cousins. I’ve been babysitting on the side since I was 15 and have gained valuable experience with the 3-10y/o age range. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school or extracurriculars, tutoring, preparing meals, and arts and crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can clean, take dogs on walks, and run errands. I love all animals and would gladly housesit for a family with pets 🐾

"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!"
