Sergio $22 per hour for 1 child

Hey Prospective Family I am Sergio; I am a Senior at George Mason University, currently studying to become an elementary teacher, and while I study would love the opportunity to look after your children. I am heading into my student teaching in the spring. I moved from Florida where I worked for a family for just over 3 years, as their Au Pair and then became their full time nanny. Have seen the kid I look after go from Elementary all the way to Middle school. My last job was working for a family during the week, looking after 2 girls aged 7 and 10. They are like a family to me and I still keep in contact them. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, from personal babysitting to working at my local church's children's ministry and daycare. Most recently, working for a family as an Au Pair for 3 years now, and then became their nanny full time while studying full time as well. I do homework, do school projects, and cook meals, as some of my duties. I don’t mind taking care of cats and walking a dog. I like working with kids because I've always thought working with children is essential; you are formulating minds, minds that will go on to do incredible things. In my spare time, I like to read. I go to a coffee shop and do some college work or read. I love going to museums, whether history or art. I love being in the kitchen; I like cooking and trying new recipes but prefer baking more. My skills include good with homework, excellent driving record, and caring.

Booked by 1 family in Hyattsville, MD

Hi, I'm Naomi! I recently graduated from Lafayette College and have moved back home for my gap year while I prepare for graduate school. I have 7 years of professional experience working with children and would love the chance to support your family. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered my love for childcare while helping care for my two younger sisters, who are my world. Over the years, I've continued babysitting and tutoring children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary schoolers, in both home and school settings. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids -- whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, going to the park, playing games, or simply creating a safe and fun environment for them. I also have a car and am happy to help with transportation, appointments, pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, or activities if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have five dogs myself and have experience pet sitting and cat sitting for friends, so I’d be more than happy to help care for pets as well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’d be a good fit for your needs!

Naomi is amazing with my sons especially Zaiheim. He is autistic and she has been so patient and kind to him. She is reliable, on time and caring and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

As a high school teacher, lacrosse coach, loving Aunt, and dog owner, I bring years of experience working closely with children and teens in both educational and athletic settings. I'm passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for kids of all ages.

I have my B.S. in Biobehavioral health from Penn State University. I currently teach Health and Nutrition at St John’s College High school, and I’ve also worked at several different universities including Boston University and Georgetown University.

I’ve coached all levels of lacrosse including youth, high school, and college. I also have experience being a live-in caregiver for my grandmother. I’m comfortable with light household tasks and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring.
