Hey, my name is Ketty.I am currently babysitting for a few families on call. I love drawing but mostly painting. I am patient and willing to learn and listen. I love listening to music and exploring new things.
I absolutely love kids! I’m a mom of 4 and a former teacher, principal, and superintendent. Patience and compassion are my strengths, while still maintaining control through calm. I savor time spent with kids of all ages, with babies being the sweetest. I also enjoy spending time with and taking care of toddlers all the way to teenagers. Yes, I said teenagers! I have a way of connecting with them and building appropriate relationships. In addition to caring for kids, I can help with homework. My teaching experience is in middle and high school English Language Arts, Math, Biology, and Science. My tutoring experience is in all the age groups with an obvious focus on the areas I’ve taught. Other than the content, one of my strengths while teaching was in classroom management, because I have the ability to use expectations, logical consequences, and relationships to impact student behaviors. And one of the most effective and compassionate, yet effective ways of managing inappropriate behaviors is through using Restorative Practices. I have many years of experience addressing child behavior this way and helping people, both kids and adults through conflict using this approach.
Caring experienced nanny of 3+ years working with infants through teens. I’m patient, organized, and great with routines, safety, and keeping kids entertained while supporting their independence.
Hi, I’m Harmony, I’m 23years old, I am a student, I love working in the community and working with families and children! I have lots of experience working with children in different fields, nursery, summer school, church nursery, youth group. I look forward to working with a family soon :)

"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."
