I’m an 18 year old college student, I have experiences with kids, I have a 7 year old sister who I helped take care of since she was a new born, I also used to babysit kids ages 2-3 to help out and just to make a little bit of money. I’m experienced with making formula for the kids, changing diapers, putting them to bed, burping them, I’m very familiar with it all.
I am a responsible, caring, and patient caregiver with experience working with children. I enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel safe. I am reliable, organized, and attentive to each child’s needs.
Experienced and dependable nanny with 5 years of experience providing exceptional care to children of various ages. Certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring safety and emergency readiness. Passionate about engaging children in creative and age-appropriate activities that promote learning, development, and fun. I have experience with meal preparation, sleep training strategies, and potty training. im looking for a full time starting in April Known for building strong relationships with families and fostering a nurturing environment
I’m an art teacher with nearly 10 years of experience working with children of various ages. Over the years, I’ve worked as an after-school counselor, a camp counselor, and currently as a full-time teacher. These roles have given me a strong foundation in child development, classroom management, and creating engaging, structured environments where kids feel both supported and inspired. What makes me a great caregiver is my personality as much as my experience. I’m very personable, patient, and kind, and I naturally connect with children by being a bit silly and playful while still maintaining clear boundaries. I believe in building genuine relationships with kids—so they feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves—not just seeing me as an authority figure. In addition to childcare, I’m also comfortable supporting light household needs and maintaining an organized, calm environment. As for pets, I grew up with cats and currently have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care, feeding routines, and understanding animal behavior. I’m comfortable caring for cats and open to supporting families with pets as well. Overall, I bring a balance of creativity, responsibility, warmth, and structure to any caregiving role.
I am a second-oldest sibling to 6 (one older sister!) and a private music teacher for all ages! In addition to regular care, I am happy to provide voice, piano and string lessons. I’m happy to do sitting in the mornings before work and open to date nights/ overnight depending on the circumstances.

"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."
