Hi families! ☀️ I’m Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If you’re looking for summer support or part-time care, I’d love to connect!

“Edna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.”

I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

“Aileen really helped us out; had a different sitter cancel an hour before and Aileen stepped in quick! Kids had a great time, Aileen was so helpful, and I would definitely have her sit again!!”

"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!"
