Brianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting. I can care for any plant and maintain household chores and necessities as needed. I have a wonderful cat and have had dogs in the past. I pride myself on being wonderful with animals. Besides the essentials of food/water/needs, I know each animal requires love, attention, and comfort while their favorite people are away!! I am open to watching children but do not have much experience at this time. I have proven to be a trustworthy person and have held many high-stakes jobs (such as an ambulance dispatcher), which has given me a large sense of accountability, responsibility, and dependability. I have a completely open schedule at this time, and I'm willing to work any hours needed.

Isabella $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Bella, and I’m currently seeking a part-time nanny position. I have 8 years of experience working with children in a variety of capacities, including as an assistant preschool teacher, one-on-one paraprofessional supporting special needs children, camp counselor, babysitter, and full-time nanny. This fall, I’m beginning graduate school at Regis University to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with the ultimate goal of helping children and their families as my full-time career. I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny who absolutely loves working with children, and I take pride in helping them grow into the best versions of themselves. If you’re looking for someone with experience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for kids, I would love to connect and discuss how I can support your family! Feel free to message me for more information.

"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!"
