Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient childcare provider with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and children with autism and developmental delays. I’ve cared for children in both nannying and babysitting settings, including working with a foster family of four children and providing long term care for a toddler for two years. My experience includes preparing meals, diapering, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, keeping children engaged with fun age appropriate activities, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable following a family’s routines and instructions. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
Hello! My name is Lilly and I am currently a pre-nursing student. I am very passionate about working in the medical field and hope to work in pediatric nursing in the future, and I also enjoy working out and going to concerts in my free time. I have been babysitting for about 5 years now and was a part-time summer nanny for a family starting when the children were 5 and 8 to when they were 9 and 12. I have babysat ages ranging from 1-14 all together. I currently am BLS certified, which includes first aid, CPR, and emergency oxygen and have passed a babysitting course. I like to keep things organized, so working within a families schedule is very easy for me to keep consistent when I learn it. Babysitting has been one of my favorite jobs and I hope to continue this while I'm in school! I am also comfortable cooking and doing light housework, and any activities I do while babysitting I make sure are cleaned up completely before I leave.
Hi My name is Miriam but everyone calls me Mia. I work as a Pediatric Dental Assistant so experience with kids is a given. I work well with all ages 0 months to teens. I speak fluent English and Spanish and my personality is very bubbly. I love working with kids and I am great with kids who require a lot of TLC when scared or nervous. I have experience with special needs patients and I adapt very well in these circumstances. I love teaching kids new things and helping them understand everyday subjects or matters they do not comprehend. My level of patience is out of this world and I love to make little ones laugh. I am also a live in nanny every other week and have been for the past 7years.
“Mia is awesome! She has a bubbly personality and was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. I would hire her again anytime. Absolutely recommend!”
I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.
Hi, My name is Laura, and I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of five grandchildren. I have raised/cared for children for 35 years. I enjoyed being a Sunday school teacher for young toddlers for two years, as well as leading a preschool class for two years. I have also worked in the home care industry for several years, enjoying the companionship and rewards of working with the elderly. I am a young-at-heart 57 year old mom/nana, who will bring a nurturing environment to children, as well as to the elderly. I am currently looking for part-time work, possibly leading to full-time. Thank you in advance for your consideration

"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!"
