Nadiia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!

Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children.

"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."
