Michelle 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

I’m Michelle and I’m very good with children. I have been working as a nanny for the past 5 years and I have plenty of experience caring for children and seeking to deliver child care excellence. I’m trustworthy, loyal, responsible, punctual, flexible and a loving and dedicated babysitter. I’m from Colombia so my native language is Spanish and I love to teach a second language to the children. I’m looking for a full time position (20-25 guaranteed hrs per week). I would love find a family who I could grow and partner and provide a happy and safe environment for the children.

“Michelle has worked as my full time Nanny for one year from 2025 - 2026. We have three Tweens with a very busy academic and extracurricular schedule. This job required a very organized individual with the ability to multi-task. Michelle stepped into her new role with ease. She was responsible for taking care of the children in all aspects. She was very organized getting the kids off to two different Schools and navigating a very busy after School schedule well into the evening. She was also responsible for all the food shopping for the household as well as some household errands. Michelle is a beautiful cook and was responsible for all 3 daily meals plus healthy snacks, five days a week. Michelle has always worked with integrity in all aspects of her role with us. One of her strongest attributes is her moral character. She is extremely mature for her age and carries herself with confidence. She always kept a close eye on my children ensuring their safety. She is a very competent driver, often driving my children in the evening free of incident. We also have a dog that she cared for lovingly. Lastly, Michelle is a very warm and kind individual. She has a great sense of humor and the kids have always enjoyed playing with her so. My kids have grown to love her and we will all sorely miss her being in our home. I highly recommend Michelle in any capacity involving the caretaking and welfare of children.”

Shaam $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shaam, and I bring over five years of hands-on experience as both a babysitter and pet sitter. I’m someone families can depend on calm under pressure, naturally nurturing, and highly organized. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, as well as family pets, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining structure and consistency. I recently earned my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in psychology and criminal justice, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills that I apply every day in caregiving. My background allows me to connect with children in meaningful ways, whether it's supporting their emotional needs, helping with homework, or simply being a positive, consistent presence in their day. Organization is one of my strongest traits. I’m excellent at creating smooth daily routines, planning educational and fun activities, managing multiple responsibilities, and keeping homes tidy and efficient. I’ve also coached and mentored youth in sports, which has strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to motivate and uplift others. Above all, I truly care. I show up with kindness, respect, and a willingness to support families however they need. Whether I’m helping a child with their bedtime routine, keeping pets active and happy, or maintaining a calm household environment, I always give my best. I’m here to make life easier and more joyful for the families I work with

"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!"
