I have two bunnies, a hamster, a parakeet, and a fish at home so I am experienced at taking care of many different critters, as well as cats and dogs!

Lily $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I would say that I'm a dependable and caring caregiver with 6 years of nanny experience along with 2 years working in a daycare setting. I've cared for children of various ages, especially infants and toddlers, and I'm very comfortable with feeding routines, diaper changes, nap schedules, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. My daycare experience has also helped me develop strong skills in managing multiple children, staying organized, and keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building positive connections with the families I work with. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I always aim to provide reliable, consistent care that gives parents peace of mind. I'd love the opportunity to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family!

Hi!! My name Giulia, I’m 26 and years old, and I’m from Brazil! I’m offering child care service, I’m pet friendly and comfortable with light house duties. I love being a babysitter and to watch them learn and grow! I started to work with kids at my church in Brazil, watching multiple kids at the same classroom, and babysit for some family friends during the week. I came to the US in 2018, taking care of kids from the age of 15 months to 12 years old. I love during arts and crafts, taking them to parks, museums, always engaging with them indoors or outdoors!! I drive kids to school and extra activities they have during the day.
