Hallie $22 per hour for 1 child

I have ten years of experience working as a childcare provider and educator. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a montessori school, full time nanny, special needs caretaker, dance teacher, personal assistant, dog sitter, camp counselor, and tutor. I have experience working with infants through adults. My approach as a nanny is to nurture each child’s personal development, foster creativity and learning, and most importantly to ensure health and safety. I genuinely love working with children and I do my best to meet each family’s individual needs.

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.

Solei $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Solei. I am a Registered Nurse with nearly 10 years of pediatric nursing experience and recently earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children and families in a variety of healthcare settings and currently serve as a school nurse, where I provide daily care, health education, and support to students of all ages. I am compassionate, dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. My medical background allows me to confidently manage health concerns, emergencies, medications, and developmental needs while creating a safe, nurturing environment. Families often describe me as calm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks and help maintain a structured, positive routine for children.

"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!"
