My name is Susie. I am the mother of two teenage daughters and currently work as a substitute teacher at a Jk-12 grade private school and I teach children and adults painting and drawing at an art school. I am offering child care for children of all ages. I love caring for children and have been doing so in some capacity for the past 19 years. I am responsible, enthusiastic, creative, nurturing, empathetic, patient, highly attuned to the needs of an individual child, communicative and open to direction. Responsibilities in my past and current roles include caring for infants, implementing schedules and routines, organizing engaging activities and outings, setting up stimulating environments that inspire imaginative play, driving to/from school and lessons, facilitating nature play, assisting with schoolwork, teaching arts and crafts and managing social/emotional/ behavioral challenges with children. I am capable of meal planning , cooking, light cleaning, laundry, pet care, grocery shopping and running errands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family to learn more about your needs and share how I might help. Best!

Jeimy $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm a passionate and experienced nanny who loves bringing joy and creativity to every day. With over 5 years of experience and glowing references, I'm skilled at making each moment special—whether it's crafting, painting, reading, or having a spontaneous dance party indoors. If your little one loves the outdoors, I'm equally excited to explore parks, visit libraries, or just enjoy some fresh air together. Currently working a 9-5 job, but I miss the magic of nannying and would love to bring my enthusiasm and flexible schedule to your family. Let's keep your child happy, engaged, and having fun!

Celina $20 per hour for 1 child

Welcome! Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities, but I also believe babysitting should be fun. I am a lighthearted, patient, and playful person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love making them laugh, keeping them engaged, and helping them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Whether we are playing games, being creative, or just being silly in a way that still respects your rules, my goal is for your child to have a positive and enjoyable experience. I am attentive and responsible, and I make sure your child is safe, cared for, and comfortable at all times. I am happy to follow your routines closely, whether that includes homework, meals, or bedtime, and I communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. If you are looking for someone who will keep your child safe while also making their time fun and enjoyable, I would love to connect. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family. Warmly, Celina

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
