Grace $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace Dunham and I'm a 21 year old college student currently studying to get a masters in health sciences in order to become a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. I have lots of experience with taking care of children as I have cared for children from the ages of 1-12 years working as a nanny in the summer time and part-time throughout the year. I am a very responsible, organized, and outgoing individual who loves to work with kids!

"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."
