Hell! am looking for a nanny position and I have several years of experience caring for children. I am open to connecting with families and would be happy to discuss how I can support your childcare needs Thank you :) Looking forward to hearing from you Best, Sarah
Hello families! I’m a professional full-time nanny and a teacher with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth and development. My experience in both childcare and education helps me create an environment that is safe, nurturing, engaging, and age-appropriate. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy combining fun activities with opportunities for children to learn, explore, and develop new skills. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting during my days off, weekday evenings, and date nights, depending on my schedule. I can assist with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, and educational activities, while making sure children feel comfortable and cared for. I know that trust is essential when choosing a babysitter, and I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respecting each family’s routines and preferences. Whether you need a reliable sitter for a date night or occasional childcare, I’d be happy to connect with your family. I look forward to meeting you!
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
Hello all, I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs. I am realiable, punctual, and I absolutely love children. I have been a sitter for 10+ years. I have experience with all age groups, but typically sitter for families with infants/ toddlers. If you have questions, or need any addition information, please feel free to ask. :) Hope to hear from you soon.

"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."
