I am a friendly, creative, and patient caregiver who prioritizes child development and strong parent communication. While nannying, I enjoy playing outside, going for walks, reading, singing and dancing, and doing crafts, along with many other creative activities.

Booked by 1 family in Reno, NV

Hi, my name is Rachel. I am a 37-year-old Italian mother of two (an 8-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl), I come from a large Italian family, plenty of experience with multitasking. I am ready to re-enter the workforce after spending the last 6 years as a full-time homemaker. As the primary provider for my children, I am motivated, dependable, and ready to work. I bring over 13 years of experience working with children from newborns through age 16. I also have nearly 16 years of experience as a caregiver in assisted living settings and providing care for family members. In addition, I have professional experience in housekeeping and cooking, including weekly meal prep tailored to specific dietary needs. I am very comfortable with animals of all kinds and enjoy working in homes with pets. I have reliable transportation and can commute in any type of weather. I have lived in Nevada for over 2 years and previously lived in Colorado, where I worked as a professional driver for about 6 years with a pilot car company supporting oversized loads. I also have hands-on construction experience from working in my father’s business. I am skilled at building, basic handyman tasks, and I am comfortable using computers and learning new systems. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, home, or business, I would love to connect. Please feel free to message me to set up a time to talk or meet. Thank you for your time and consideration.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 29 families in Reno, NV

Hello families! I'm a local artist who loves to share my creativity with children of all ages. I've traveled teaching art around the world and i'm alway saving for another trip to expand my knowledge and friendships. My experience nannying spans over 15 years since my first little sibling was born when I was 10. I now have 3 younger siblings and have always felt like a second mom in the family. Caring for and nurturing children will always be part of my life because I firmly believe in mentorship. We all have to work together to become the people we are today. I usually bring an art bag and some hula hoops along with me and depending on the ages and some books! I can drive to any location also. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to meeting you, have a beautiful day ! :)

“tailor was great! she was prompt, very flexible when our childcare needs shifted, and wonderful with our 17 month old daughter! we would definitely use tailor again!”

"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!"
