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!

$27 per hour for 1 child

I've been the neighborhood babysitter and a part time nanny most of my life. I have the most experience with toddlers through age six, but I've also worked with infants and tween twins. I'm down to earth, have years of experience, and strongly believe that it's our job to raise the best, kindest, and well rounded humans that we can. I have been with my current Nanny Family since Jan 2020 and have picked up the rare date night for friends and family. I am looking for more part time work starting in September, preferably 8-16 hours, 1-2 days a week. I have a car, am happy to do light housework, go on adventures with the kiddos, and help with homework after school. I'm energetic and outgoing, with a love of math, science, and the imagination. I am also enthusiastic about date night sitting, nanny fill ins, and more! I miss working with kids while mine are in school! I’m COVID vaxxed and conscious, I mask when I’m indoors in public spaces. If you are a COVID conscious family I’m happy to discuss my risk factors and test before caring for your kiddo(s).

“Kas is an amazing babysitter. My daughter is nonverbal autistic and has mild cerebral palsy. She is a very happy kid and Kas has always helped her to have fun and be engaged with the world around her and does not find her disabilities in anyway a detractor from my child having a wonderful experience, Kas is patient and kind and an absolutely wonderful human being. Kas is always prompt and reliable and does a good job of following schedules and any special things that are needed, Kas is always happy to help with. Whenever we can get her, Kas is our first choice for Sitter because of what a wonderful job she does with my three-year-old. If it were possible to recommend to Kas any higher, I would do so.”

"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!"
