Dana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Dana, and I’m seeking a long-term position as a nanny/childcare provider. For the right family, I’m open to longer hours or a live-in position, offering flexibility to meet your needs. With several years of experience as a teacher’s aide/assistant at a preschool and as a nanny for multiple families, I bring a wealth of expertise in childcare. I’m passionate about working with children because their energy is incredibly uplifting, and I thrive in the joyful, dynamic environment they create. My love for childcare has driven my career, and I’m excited to continue in a role where I can make a positive impact. In addition to childcare, I offer highly experienced pet care, ensuring your furry family members are well looked after. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping duties, such as laundry, tidying up, and basic kitchen tasks (like dishwashing or organizing). Please note that light housekeeping does not include sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, or excessive vacuuming. I also provide light cooking, preparing a variety of dishes from simple snacks to family meals. As a personal assistant, I can handle tasks like picking up dry cleaning, pharmacy orders, food shopping, and driving children to and from activities, appointments, or school. I hold a valid driver’s license and drive a newly purchased SUV, offering reliable and convenient transportation. As a naturally neat, tidy, and organized person, I take pride in creating a clean and welcoming environment. In my spare time, I enjoy summer beach trips, attending sporting events, exploring, trying different restaurants, and watching sports. I’d love to connect with a family seeking a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny for a long-term partnership, whether part-time, full-time, or live-in. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your family!

Booked by 1 family in Whitestone, NY

My name is Brian, and I have a lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always believed that great caregiving comes from patience, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others, whether they walk on two legs or four. Experience with Animals: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, grooming, administering medication, and giving plenty of playtime and affection. I also have experience with cats, small animals, and even a few birds.
