Bertha 1 review
Miami Gardens
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Bertha! I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in Healcare at Florida International University. I love working with kids, pets, and families to make life easier and more fun. I have experience caring for infants through teens, enjoy arts & crafts, reading, and outdoor play, and can also help with homework, cooking, or light cleaning. I’m also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs (all breeds and sizes), cats, and small pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy and safe. I can also help around the house with errands, laundry, tidying, and organization. I’m reliable, caring, and always bring a positive attitude. Looking forward to working with your family!

Bertha has watched my twin girls for about six months now, and they absolutely love her. She is incredibly attentive and always caters to their needs right away, whether that’s feeding, soothing, or keeping them engaged. Bertha is very safety-conscious and I always feel at ease knowing my girls are in her care. She is patient, reliable, and truly cares about their happiness and well-being. She communicates well, follows routines closely, and goes above and beyond to make sure the girls feel comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Bertha to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing caregiver.

Néïssa Miami
$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.

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!
