Kree $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a new nurse with a strong passion for working with children. I have many years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teens. My background includes volunteering at church and schools, serving as a counselor, and working in a licensed family daycare. I also have experience supporting children with special needs. Along with childcare, I am comfortable with pets and can provide pet care when needed. I love caregiving because it allows me to make a difference in children’s lives. Whether through play, learning activities, or simply being present, I find joy in helping kids grow and feel safe. My nursing background and CPR/first aid training give me the skills to remain calm and responsible in emergencies. Something personal about me is that I am very energetic, love to laugh, and connect easily with children. I enjoy preparing healthy meals, being active, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have a reliable car for transportation and can help with light housekeeping. I am also flexible and available for occasional weekends and date nights if needed. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, compassion, and skills to your family. Excellent references are available upon request!

Hi there! My name is Diana, and I have 12 years experience in childcare, I've worked with kids from newborns to high-school age. I was an Au Pair for one year and a half and I had the opportunity to work with kids of different ages, not only that, but I also have experience doing overnight and date-night sitting. I have taken the CPR and first AID course, because it was a requirement to be an Au Pair. My connection with children has always been great. I love working with them, and we always have a blast. Not only I do enjoy reading with children, but I love activities outside, go to the park or to a local library, making up fun games - whether it be a puppet show or hide-and-seek and I like cooking as well. What will I do with your children? It depends on them and what they like to do. What I will tell you is that I will work to keep them busy and constantly engaged. Sometimes it's great to stay at home, build a fort, bake some goodies, and have a movie day. However, sometimes it's great to go outside and take the train or drive to different parts of the city and visit every park you pass, local libraries or museums. There are so many things, places, and people to learn from in this world. Please contact me if you have any questions! Thank you for take the time and read a little more about me, I hope hearing from you!!

Diana was excellent and I would recommend her totally!

Hi everyone! I speak English and Spanish. I am a person that I characterize for my punctuality and kindness. I Have been a nanny since I was 17 years old. I love spending time with children, they grow so fast and learn very quickly. I try to help them as much as I can and help them learn new things and that they have confidence in themselves. I enjoy spending time with them. I have my first aid certificate and certificate of training school for the care of children. I like to do many activities with the children at home or outside if the weather permits. I know your children will have a lot of fun and they will learn from me as well as I from them.

Johana was great! She was on time, and our little guy took to her immediately and had a blast with her. She was able to get him ready for bedtime on schedule and was a dream to work with. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again in the future. :)

"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!"
