Marci $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a certified nursing assistant as well as a yoga teacher. I’ve been in hospitality for over 10 years. I’m very patient, friendly and love to be around people. My grandmother and I would watch all my mom’s friend’s children while they were at work from Infants to toddlers and I also worked at a gym teaching them poses. I do enjoy being of service to others who need it when I have the time, it brings me purpose in life. I’m very reliable and a trustworthy person.

Ellyson $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I was born and raised in Boulder, CO, and I have a significant amount of experience babysitting for friends and neighbors. I love spending time with kids and plan to have my own someday. I’m always learning from them! I recently moved back to Miami from London, UK, where I was working in tech. I am now on a career break, working as a hostess at the 1 Hotel South Beach and an entrepreneurial venture in my free time. I am looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities. I always make sure to clean up spaces after kids use them (e. g. washing dishes after meals), and I do my best to engage kids in activities like games and crafts as opposed to TV and video games. I am a very active person myself and I enjoy being energetic and lively around kids! In past summers, I volunteered on two organic farms in Italy where I was responsible for watching 2 boys (ages 6 and 9), cooking, cleaning rooms and bathrooms for a retreat center, and caring for 11 animals. This summer I babysat my boyfriend’s 13 year old niece and 6 year old nephew in Italy, on multiple occasions. Please contact me if you would like to learn more about my experience. Thank you!

Daniela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Daniela 😊 I’m originally from Colombia, so I’m fully bilingual and love teaching kids Spanish in a fun, natural way through games, conversations, and everyday activities. I’m a caring, responsible, and creative babysitter with hands on experience both professionally and within my own family. I spent a year and a half as a nanny in the U.S. through Cultural Care Au Pair, where I had the opportunity to work with two amazing families. In Texas, I cared for a big, energetic household of five kids (home schoolers), which taught me how to stay organized, patient, and fun all at once. In Connecticut, I cared for two girls, one of whom required extra attention and care due to medical needs. That experience made me even more empathetic, attentive, and detail oriented when it comes to children’s well being. On top of that, I’ve basically been “the family nanny” since I was 15 I have 8 nieces and nephews, and I’ve always been the one helping my siblings take care of them. Being around kids has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I genuinely love. Outside of childcare, I work in music and marketing, which makes me super creative and great at keeping kids entertained in fun, engaging ways. Whether it’s coming up with games, doing arts & crafts, or just making everyday moments more exciting, I love creating a positive and joyful environment. I also know how to swim, ride horses, drive, dance, makeup, hair, etc, and I love anything creative like makeup and styling so I’m always happy to bring a little extra fun and personality into the day. I’m reliable, warm, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel comfortable and updated. Looking forward to meeting a great family! 💛

"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!"
