Hi families, I’m Nosi pronounced Nosee. I am an extremely happy and loving individual who is passionate about helping others. With over 7 years of experience, I have worked as both an Au Pair and a full- time nanny, providing exceptional care to children ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years old. As a vaccinated nanny, I am committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I truly enjoy working with children, supporting their growth.I love engaging in activities such as outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, baking, and reading, always striving to make each day memorable and enjoyable for the kids I care for. Having had the privilege of becoming a part of many families' lives, childcare is truly one of my greatest passions. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yoga, exploring new dining spots, sightseeing, and visiting places with waterfalls and beaches.

Nosipho was on time, warm, and immediately connected with my kid by getting down to his level. Very easy-going and my son was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend!

Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony

Charity was very professional and kind.

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 children (both mid 20’s), from Eastern Europe and have been a nanny/household manager/chauffeur for over 25 years on and off. I enjoy being outdoors, singing songs and truly enjoy working with small children (I miss when mine were that age!). Most of my friends refer to me as the child whisperer because somehow I'm always able to make children laugh and smile. I look forward to finding new families to work with and can guarantee you that I will care for your children as if they were my own, as I do with all of the kids I care for. I’m currently looking for a family, preferably for afterschool care and am able to drive (my license is clean and I’ve been a driver for over 20 years). I am a great cook and do not mind cooking for your children. I also don't mind running simple errands and will do very light housework (picking up after kids/laundry). I can drive children in both my car or a parent’s car and am CPR certified. Policies: *I have a 4 hour work minimum policy which means that I must be booked and paid for at least 4 hours. I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when you are home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of scheduled start time I require 50% payment, 24 hours I require full payment. Please understand that my time is valuable and it's hard to book last minute work. Thank you!

Daniela is absolutely wonderful and very reliable! My son Josiah is 5 now and she has taken care of him multiple times since birth. She communicates with me effectively throughout the day and would ease my anxiety as a first time mom! She always engaged in educational activities, provided loving care, and managed Josiah’s routine with ease, and even though she wasn’t with us daily, every time she stepped in she was able to pick right up from where she left off. If she wasn’t already working full time, I would have snatched her up immediately! Your kids will love her and so will you!

$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nicky, and I am a junior in college currently available for part-time childcare. I have been babysitting for several years, primarily working with children between the ages of infant to 13. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I am happy to help with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and academic support. Outside of school and babysitting, I am a college student-athlete, so I love staying active and getting outside. I enjoy encouraging kids to put down the screens, get some fresh air, and have fun through outdoor activities, games, and playtime. I also have a strong passion for the arts. I enjoy theater, dance, literature, drawing, knitting, crocheting, and other creative activities. I love incorporating these interests into childcare through crafts, creative projects, reading, and imaginative play. Music is another big part of my life. I have experience with piano, percussion, guitar, and vocals, and I also offer one-on-one music lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument or developing their vocal skills. Overall, I love working with children and creating activities that match their interests and personalities. I would be happy to help your family with childcare, homework, household tasks, creative activities, and keeping your children active and engaged!

Hello families! My name is Alyssa. I am 24 years old currently in Grad school for clinical mental health counseling. I work as a substitute teacher as well. I have been a nanny for another family for 4 years now. I am reliable, hard working, fun, energetic, patient, and loving. I love to plan fun activities for the kids and I to do together. I always go above and beyond. I have no problem organizing, doing kids laundry, tidying up, running errands or any of the household services you may need. I want to make your lives easier!

Alyssa was fantastic! She cared for our three kids (ages 2, 4, and 10) and handled the range of ages and needs with ease. She was incredibly attentive, engaged the kids in play, and kept us updated with great communication throughout the evening. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again for future date nights if she’s available!

"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!"
