Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a Filipino single mom to an adorable 6-year-old boy, and I am currently seeking a daytime nanny position while he is at school. I have experience caring for infants and young children, and I pride myself on being patient and nurturing. I understand the importance of providing a supportive learning environment that encourages children to reach their milestones. When my son's custody is with his dad, I also work as a bartender in local restaurants, which has helped me build strong interpersonal skills and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I am studying cybersecurity, which showcases my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. I am dedicated to respecting each family's routine and approach to childcare, ensuring the well-being of the children I care for. I look forward to the opportunity to provide loving and attentive care while fostering an engaging and safe environment for your little ones! I would love to meet up in person and see how we can work things out. -Emily

"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!"
