I have over 30 years experience with children. I have worked with all ages, from infants to high school. I have been teaching for 23 years. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I have my own car and can transport children if needed. I also have references upon request.
Hello, I come from a big family, I have six siblings and have played a role in taking care of them as I’m the oldest! I’m very flexible with my schedule, however, I do have a current part time job that fluctuates. But, I’m more than willing to find a compromise! I’ve babysat numerous children that have different personalities; so it’s very easy for me to adapt! I can help with homework, reading, and any activities that are needed. For senior related care, I’m able to help with grooming, cleaning, groceries, and most important; companionship! I love communicating and having a conversation!
Hello! My name is Marissa and I have over 10 years of experience working with infants up to kids 10 years old. I am First Aid, CPR, and SUIDS certified and I’m fluent in English and Spanish.
Hi, I’m Chelsea! I’m a reliable, kind-hearted caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children and pets. With two boys of my own, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to keep your children safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available for evenings and weekends, including date nights — whether you need a quiet dinner out, time to run errands, or extra help. My boys do not come with me when I work with families, which means your child always has my full attention while you’re away. My approach is loving, calm, and flexible — but also fun and a little silly when the moment calls for it! I enjoy making kids laugh, being playful, and turning everyday moments into positive experiences. I love planning age-appropriate activities and am just as comfortable helping with meals, light tidying, homework, and bedtime routines as I am reading stories, crafting, and playing games. I’m also pet-friendly and have experience caring for family pets, plus I have a cat of my own named Gizmo who keeps life entertaining! Families describe me as dependable, consistent, and easy to work with. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your child — it’s to give you peace of mind and make your child’s time enjoyable. I’d love the opportunity to connect and learn how I can support your family, and I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request following a phone interview.
Hi, my name is Liv & I am currently a Senior at the University of South Dakota where I am studying Marketing & am a member of the swim team! I have been a full time nanny the past 3 summers, and am nannying full time again this summer as well. I would love to connect and pick up some more hours!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"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."
Theresa M., parent
