I'm a loving, joyful, and energetic person with a strong drive and a true passion for childcare. I have experience with children of all ages, including three experiences caring for baby twins and one experience with older twins. I'm responsible, patient, and always attentive to the unique needs of each child. Whether it's playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I bring positivity and dedication to every moment. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to manage school runs, extracurricular activities, and family errands efficiently.

Sara $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN. Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!

America $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is America (named after a Mexican soccer team haha) and I am excited to provide child care, pet care, and household services. I currently work as a nanny Mon-Fri. I have been with this family for the last three years. I also work as a host at a restaurant on the weekends. I need to be busy! I love to work. I have been babysitting my entire life. I am the eldest daughter and eldest cousin in my family. Due to that luxury, I've taken care of newborns, infants, and toddlers for most of my life. Professionally, I have worked at a daycare as an assistant teacher. I occassionally spent time in the littles classrooms (1-3), though most of my time was spent with the Preschools kids (4+). Currently, I work with a family whose children are older (10+). I am very flexible working with many different ages due to my experience. I've worked with a range of kids with different personalities. I am flexible. I adapt to the child's needs as well as the parents. I am here to work with you and for you. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from NPU. A lot of my course-load was in personality, lifespan development, and behavior. I feel these classes have helped me become a better caregiver. I really love dogs and cats! My roommates and I have a dog and three cats. So much time is spent at home cuddling. I can also provide household services. I worked at a gym for some time and learned how to clean every nook and cranny. I can also run errands, those are typically my favorite because I love marking off lists. Happy to answer any questions you have for me. I am typically available Mon-Fri after my nanny shift (ends at/arouns 6). I am willing to work late into the night and can negotiate hourly fee/overnight fee if needed.

"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!"
