Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m from Chicago. My first language is English, but I’m also fluent in Italian. I have 3 years of experience working with children ages 1–13. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets and snakes. In addition to childcare, I can cook, run errands, and handle other household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and a car which is registered and insured to me.

Emma was great with our two active boys! She kept them entertained and drove them to activities.

I have worked with kids for a few years now. I have worked as a tutor, a daycare worker, and currently I work at a recreation center in Loveland. I also currently mentor a 9-year-old kid in school. I am very passionate about childcare and plan to become an elementary school teacher. So, more childcare experience would greatly help!

I'm passionate about supporting families and providing reliable childcare. My ten years of experience have allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge in early child development. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing games with children, from educational games to outdoor sports. Whether it's through verbal communication or the parents' preferred method, I keep open lines of communication. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, meal prep, carpooling, travel, crafts, and supervising swimming. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and have completed coursework in early child development. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm confident I can provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children.

I'm 21 and have 5 years of nannying experience, starting part-time and moving to full-time at 18. I've cared for children aged 6 weeks-9 years, including those with developmental delays, mild autism, and an infant on oxygen. I hold CPR and first aid certifications and can provide references from previous families. My approach to childcare is gentle and firm, considering the children's thoughts and feelings while maintaining leadership. I emphasize outdoor play, reading, and Montessori practices over screen time. I'm seeking a job with around 25-30 hours a week, Monday-Friday.

Hi there! I’m someone who genuinely loves both animals and kids, and I bring a calm, steady presence into homes that many pets and children naturally respond to. Animals have been part of my life for years. I currently have two cats and a dog, and I’ve spent a lot of time reading about breeds, training, and animal behavior simply because I enjoy understanding how they think and what helps them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—including very large breeds—and have experience with many types such as Aussies, cattle dogs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, St. Bernards, Shibas, doodles, bichons, and westies. I’m happy doing dog walking, drop-ins, overnight pet sitting, house sitting, and long walks or hikes. I also have plenty of experience caring for multiple pets at once and am comfortable with cats of all personalities. People often tell me their pets relax quickly around me, especially animals that tend to be anxious or sensitive. I’m naturally attentive to their cues and enjoy creating a calm environment where they feel secure and cared for. I also truly enjoy spending time with children. I have many years of experience working with youth through mentoring, programs, and babysitting. I especially love caring for infants and toddlers, and I connect well with middle schoolers and teens too. My style with kids is calm, patient, and grounded. I’m comfortable supporting emotional moments, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, cooking simple meals, and keeping routines running smoothly. Families often describe me as dependable, thoughtful, and easy to trust with both their kids and their pets. I treat every home with respect and care, and I always aim to leave things feeling peaceful and well cared for.

Saisha is a compassionate, kind, joyful human! She has a wonderful ability to connect with animals and humans of all ages, alike. She is responsible, reliable, and a delight to be around! I fully recommend her as a care giver and trust her with my family and home.

"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!"
