I developed strong childcare skills from a young age. When I was eight, my aunt had her first child, and because I lived with her, I helped care for them. Over the following years, she had two more children, giving me valuable hands-on experience with children of different ages. My family quickly came to trust me as their go-to babysitter because of how naturally I connect with kids. Later on, I babysat my two younger siblings. I’m patient, gentle, caring, respectful, easygoing, and positive, and I adapt my caregiving style to each child’s unique needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I can prepare basic meals, help with household chores, and learn new routines or recipes if needed. I value open communication and kindly ask families to share any important expectations or instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
I am a career nanny and have been working with children in their homes for over 18 years. I love caring for infants but also love taking toddlers out to explore the world. Watching children learn and grow never gets old!
Hello, I have over 13 years experience in caregiving both with the elderly and children. I had been a nanny for multiple families. I have 3 nieces ranging in ages from 10 to 21 and continue to be an integral part of their upbringing. The last family I nannied for I was with for over 5 years. We are still very much in contact & I see them at least once a month for family dinner. I pride myself on my communication skills & I am great with children of all ages. I am a proud pet owner of a 16 year old dog, we’ve been together for 12 years and she is still very healthy and very happy!
Hello! I have competed the Red Cross Basic Babysitting and First Aid courses. I like playing with kids and making sure they have fun in a safe environment. :)
Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!

"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."
