Hello parents, My name is Ana, 30 yo and currently looking for an occasional babysitting position. Originally from Brazil, I have been living in the US for seven years and worked as an Au pair and nanny during this time. I’m comfortable with the kids routine, playdate, meal prep, bath and bed time. I am very flexible and would consider myself easygoing and organized. I love to be outdoors and organize fun and safe activities. Also it’s important to mention that I am non-smoker and love animals. I am looking forward to hear from you! Thank you, Ana
Hi! I graduated from the University of Michigan as a Master of Social Work candidate, where I specialized in working with children and families. I have been babysitting for 10 years now, and have experience with all ages, including newborns

Hi! My name is Flor, I am 28 years old, and I have been caring for children since high school. I have experience with kids from 3 months to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I was previously an Au Pair and I am currently working as a nanny. I have CPR and First Aid certification, I have a valid work permit, and a driver’s license. I am a very loving, patient, and responsible person. I like to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I can help with homework, play activities, and daily routines, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, and all baby-related care. I can cook a variety of meals for the children and I am also comfortable preparing meals for the whole family. I also help with children-related tasks such as laundry, washing and folding clothes, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I always follow parents’ instructions carefully and make sure everything runs smoothly. I would love to support your family and take great care of your children! ☀️🌷🌻
“She has done an excellent job caring for twins, showing great patience, organization, and attentiveness. Managing two children at the same time requires responsibility and experience, and she handles it very professionally. She is reliable, punctual, and always attentive to the children’s safety and individual needs. She creates a caring and fun environment while maintaining routines and staying calm under pressure. Her ability to multitask and provide quality care to both children at once truly reflects her skills and professionalism as a babysitter.”
I got most of my experience from raising my three kids, boy and 2 girls, and all of them are in the college now. I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, playing with them. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I work part time and my work schedule is pretty flexible, I am available on Thursday and on Sunday at anytime and some days early morning and in the afternoon too , I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids, like dropping off & picking them up from school, playing outside with them, reading stories, playing board games, and helping them with their homework, I have Adult, Children, Infant, Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification, and I am Covid vaccinated. * “References Available Upon Request”

"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!"
