Shantel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi ! I’m Shantel. I’ve supported several families as a trusted babysitter and night nanny, providing hundreds of hours of overnight infant and newborn care. You’ll find me flexible and easy-going. I genuinely care about nurturing kids and watching them grow and change as they experience the world ❤️ I’d love to help you out if I can. As an RN, nothing is too messy, complicated or overwhelming. And as a mom of 4, nothing is too unpredictable or chaotic. 🙂 Overnights are my sweet spot right now with my family’s schedule ! 9pm-7am Good luck in your search! I hope you find exactly the right fit and the peace of mind you are looking for.

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am offering childcare services part-time! I have over 40 years of experience. I love working with infants & young ones. I had this family that I worked for 30 years that I started when their first child was 2mos. old & had their 2nd after 2yrs. Kids grew up with me & believe it or not, I still worked for them part time coz’ they don’t want to let me go. I speak Tagalog as well as English, and I hope to be a stress reliever when it comes to leaving your child at home!

"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!"
