Néïssa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Neissa, and I’m a friendly and caring college junior studying biology. While I’ve officially babysat once, I have meaningful caregiving experience from helping care for my grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s, as well as my grandfather, who needed assistance with mobility. These experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to be attentive to others’ needs. I also grew up with siblings, which helped me understand different family dynamics and how to be flexible and supportive in a home with multiple kids. In addition, I work as a student ambassador at my university, where I regularly lead group tours for middle and high school students. This role has given me strong experience managing groups of kids, getting their attention, and staying calm and positive under pressure. I speak three languages, love reading, and enjoy doing crafts and creative activities. I’m reliable, warm, and always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children.

Booked by 30 families in Opa Locka, FL

Hi! I’m Sara — an experienced, warm, and highly reliable nanny based in Miami. I have over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience caring for different ages. I’m CPR certified, safety-focused, and naturally calm and patient. I believe in positive guidance, clear boundaries, and creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure and understood. Whether it’s playtime, outdoor activities, public outings, or bedtime routines, I stay attentive, proactive, and fully engaged. Families describe me as responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is, and my goal is always for parents to feel completely at ease while they’re away. I’m comfortable with: • Dinner & bedtime routines • Public outings & birthday parties • Diaper changes & potty training stages • Light clean-up related to the children • Managing multiple children calmly I look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 2 families in Opa Locka, FL

Hello families, my name is Viorika and I am offering child care, pet care, and housekeeping. I am an online community college student and have been taking care of family and friends’ little ones since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds. I volunteered at Elon Elementary with second graders helping them read and assisting teachers. I’ve done housekeeping and cleaning for AirBnB properties for 1 year, so you can take advantage of your free time while I tend to household duties. Whether it’s crafts time for your children or playing outside, I can be of service. I love art, being active, and learning. I can offer tutoring as I have taken 8 AP classes. I am offering short and longer-term nanny/childcare services. Additionally, I am proficient in Spanish and some Romanian. I can work at different hours and have a flexible schedule. I have no allergies and am willing to work with different animals. I can also provide pick up/drop off services and cook for your family. If there are other specific tasks to be accomplished, I will get them done. I am looking forward to meeting your family and be of assistance!

"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!"
