Lady Johanna 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Seeking for a loving, experienced and reliable nanny?! My name is Johanna, I am 27 years old and I am looking for a babysitting/nanny position, preferably full time. I am a former au pair (More than 2.5 years in the program) and I have 9+ years of experience caring for children from newborn to 17 years old. I am warm, loving, creative, energetic and highly dependable caregiver dedicated to helping to shape children into confident and happy people who will carry those traits on into adulthood. • Bilingual (Spanish (native) and English). • Creates a fun, safe and stimulating environment that helps children meet developmental milestones. • Uses creative methods and has experience in helping/assisting children with their homework, school projects, reading assignments, and studying after school. • Can help with cooking/meal prep (ensuring adherence to strict allergen guidelines) and light cleaning.

“I can’t say enough great things about Lady! She has taken care of our 18 month old since he was about 6 months and he loves her! The first time she took care of our son, she listened carefully and did everything that I asked her perfectly. She asked me all the right questions too! She is SUPER reliable and punctual which I really appreciate. She reads to him, plays with him, and has a caring and nurturing personality about her that makes me feel at ease. I know he’ll always be cared for well when she’s here :)”

Sandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Ms. Doris (or Dee) and I am 29. I am offering childcare, senior care and household services. As a compassionate and attentive caregiver with a strong background in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Hence, I worked with kids on the spectrum (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome...) I have experience working with kids in professional settings and in home babysitting. I have watched kids from different age groups (infants, toddlers...) since I was 15 years old. I can help with homework and tutoring. I enjoy dancing and taking walks outside. I have obtained my bachelor's in psychology from Methodist University in North Carolina. I can help with light Housekeeping, cleaning and cooking. I have a driver's license and a car. I grew up in a big family: I have in total 7 siblings and took care of 5 of them as I was growing up. I learned very early on how to assist my siblings at a very young age. Working in different settings (in home, in clinics) as a Behavioral Therapist gave me more insight, experience, knowledge and patience with kids.

"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!"
