Hi! I’m Manuela, I’m 23 and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. I have experience caring for children of different ages – from infants to tweens – and I love coming up with creative and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged.🙋🏻‍♀️ I'm patient, cheerful, and very responsible – I always try to create a safe and loving environment for the kids. I'm also great at following routines and instructions, and I don’t mind helping with meals or light cooking! I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I’m also CPR certified. Let me know if you have any questions – I’d love to connect! 😊

I am looking for a nanny position or a House manager as well. My rate per Kid depends on what will be required to do. It starts at $25 per hour and for Nanny share $32 per hour, payment in Cash preferably. I am looking for long term at least 1 year, 40 hours guaranteed per week, vacations, sick days, holidays as well. Right now I am available from 7am-4pm or 4:30pm from Monday through Friday. I live in Westminster and would love to find a Job close to this area, but I am open to commute for a 30 min drive. I have a reliable car I can use to drive the kids, I have taken kids to libraries, museums, playdates, to the park. I can speak either English or Spanish and I am comfortable with either. Looking to start soon, and currently on a Full Time Job, that I would like to give 1 week of notice.

Henry $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Henry and I have been taking care of my sister and my pets since I was 10 years old! My parents often traveled for work which led to me being the one they relied on! I have taken care of my neighbors family many times and I find the time I spend with them very rewarding! I do modeling part time and have worked customer service since I was 15! I find that as long as you take the time to understand who you are working with, there is always a logical solution to whatever problem arises! I always like to discuss with family what they are use to and what they respond best to! This helps me determine the best course of action when It comes to caring for their loved ones!

I have 30+ years of experience taking care of children. I have loved being a part of children's lives and watching them grow. In the past, I have watched little babies and took care of them until they reached high school age. I am pet friendly and enjoy both dogs and cats. Recommendations are available from several former long-term clients.

"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!"
