$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Natalie. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 10 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, and I currently work from home as an Account Manager for Vibrant Wellness Labs. I’m very hands-on and always engaged with the kids, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or keeping them active. I keep a clean, tidy house and am happy to help with household tasks. I’m CPR certified, love playing soccer, walking my dog, and cooking healthy meals.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Monse, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. I used to be an Au Pair and I took care of kids of different ages (from toddlers to school-age children) I also worked in a kids’ party room, where I organized games and activities, and have done occasional babysitting for several families. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves creating a fun and safe environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing outdoors, or doing arts and crafts, I always do my best to make every moment positive and engaging. I’d love to bring my experience, energy, and warmth to your family! I’m a big animal lover and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’m always open to discussing other sizes too! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Let’s connect!!
