Hi, I am "Grammy." I love my six grandchildren and see them often. I have a lot of experience with my own children (now grown), and grandchildren. I also have a few years experience with after school care. My Seniors experiences are from when I was working for a home care agency and more recently, taking care of my mother's needs. I have had kitty and dog family members for most of my life. I would love to meet and care for your family

Jess $40 per hour for 1 child

I have more than 20 years of experience supporting private families as an enrichment nanny, house manager, family assistant, private chef, wellness specialist, and caregiver. My approach is warm, highly attentive, creative, organized, and deeply individualized. I’m often described as a calming presence who brings more ease, beauty, nourishment, play, and connection into a home. My childcare experience spans newborns through teenagers, including caring for multiple children and large families. I’ve cared for five infants simultaneously in a private daycare, supported a six-child household as a live-in nanny, cared for a baby from two to seven months, and mentored teens through challenging life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting neurodivergent and highly sensitive children. I bring an unusually broad enrichment background to childcare. Depending on a child’s age and interests, our days might include storytelling, reading, music, singing, creative arts, nature exploration, cooking, comedy improv, yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, gentle martial arts, movement, emotional-intelligence games, life skills, and plenty of imaginative play. I emphasize confidence, curiosity, emotional regulation, respectful communication, healthy boundaries, resilience, and helping each child feel genuinely seen and understood. I also have extensive household-management experience, including organizing closets, drawers and pantries; creating household systems; scheduling; family logistics; grocery shopping; stocking; laundry; packing; travel planning; inventory management; decluttering; toy rotation; pet care; and maintaining peaceful, functional homes. I’m comfortable with live-in, live-out, rotational, overnight, travel, and estate environments. As a gourmet longevity chef and wellness professional, I prepare beautiful, nutrient-dense meals and have experience with Ayurveda, longevity nutrition, wellness routines, yoga, mindfulness, bodywork, and lymphatic practices. My caregiving experience also extends to older adults and individuals navigating illness, recovery, disability, major surgery, Parkinson’s disease, and end-of-life transitions. These experiences have strengthened my discretion, adaptability, emotional intelligence, judgment, and ability to remain steady during tender or complex circumstances. Ultimately, I see my role as helping the entire household thrive: children feel safe, loved and engaged; parents feel genuinely supported; and the home becomes calmer, he

Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child

Caring for others has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s looking after kids, helping seniors feel supported, or making sure pets feel loved, I believe everyone deserves kindness and patience. I’m dependable, attentive, and great at creating a warm, safe environment. I also enjoy keeping things organized, preparing meals, cleaning, and making daily life a little easier. Most of all, I love building real connections and making people feel valued, comfortable, and cared for.

"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!"
