Hello! I’m bilingual (English/ Spanish) and nannied for 3 years, throughout college. I have also babysat children of all ages for >10 years. I love arts and crafts, cooking, and being outdoors. I can help with light household chores if needed. When I’m not babysitting, you can find me at my day job, volunteering at my community garden, or hanging out with friends. My rates are negotiable and depend on the level of care / responsibility needed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!
I'm an enthusiastic childcare provider with two years of experience caring for children of various ages. I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development, and I find great joy in positively impacting their lives. I have a friendly and approachable personality, and I'm very comfortable communicating with parents about their child's day or any issues that arise. I do this via regular updates and verbal communication at pickup. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, such as educational games that promote learning, board games and puzzles, and outdoor sports and physical games. I have some college education, currently working on my bachelors degree and am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I hope to meet you and your child soon, and I look forward to providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.
Hello, my name is Jael, my four years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 12 have solidified my commitment to providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I am a warm, dependable, and highly engaged professional nanny with hands-on experience providing full-time care for infants and toddlers. I am currently caring for a 13-month-old child and have been with the same family for six months, supporting his development from infancy into toddlerhood. I am experienced with bottle feeding, transitioning to solid foods, diapering, age-appropriate play, reading, outdoor activities, neighborhood walks, park and pool outings, and educational excursions. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children can explore, learn, and develop with confidence. My professional background as a dancer, choreographer, and educator also allows me to bring creativity, movement, music, and imaginative play into children's daily routines. I am dependable, attentive, organized, comfortable with pets, and happy to assist with child-related household tasks and additional family support as needed. I would love to be considered and learn more about your families needs. I am previously CPR and First Aid certified and am getting renewed before my next position. I have a car, I am comfortable with pets if you have any, and I do not smoke. I am eager to learn more about your family and how I can help your child thrive. I am happy to provide references upon request!
Hello! My name is Ashlee and I love kids! I am a dance teacher and performer so I have been working with kids for over a decade in the classroom along with caring for others as a babysitter throughout the years. I have experience teaching ages from 2-18 so I really know how to communicate and connect with them. I love playing outside, reading to kids, spending quality time, and trying to teach them new skills as well. One day I want to have kids of my own so I accept every opportunity to care for a child with a ton of gratitude from the start because I know how precious those young years are, and it’s more practice for me in hopes of being a mom one day myself.
Hi! I’m Denise - a seasoned caregiver with years of experience caring for 10+ nieces and nephews, my own daughter (now off to college 🎓) and countless neighborhood children. With a bit of empty nest syndrome, I’m excited to get back to what I love most: helping kids feel safe and happy while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. I'm reliable, patient, fun and believe that great childcare should be stress-free for everyone (and yes, I’ve had lots of practice 😉).

"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."
