Hi families! I’m Dani 😊 I’m an experienced nanny who truly cares about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for kids. My priority is always making sure children feel comfortable, supported. I have several years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and young children, including working as a preschool teacher in a Montessori school, an au pair in the U.S., and a full-time nanny. Today, I focus on providing attentive personalized care, whether that’s keeping little ones on their routines, planning age-appropriate activities, or simply being present and responsive to their needs. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and very attentive to safety. I also love creating fun moments with kids through play, creativity, and outdoor time when possible. I’m a strong driver (10+ years of experience), fully vaccinated with booster, CPR & First Aid certified, and a non-smoker. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see how I can support your family. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Looking forward to hearing from you ☺️
“Dani did an amazing job taking care of our daughter. She was very professional and great at engaging with our five year old. We would recommend her highly to other families and hope to have her come back to take care of our daughter again. ”
Nice to meet you families! My name is Melissa and I have been working as a caregiver for the last 8+ years. I truly enjoy the company of children and nurture their artistic side. A little bit more about me. I have a background on Architecture and Graphic Design. I love art & crafts, and doing these projects with kiddos is fun (except for the mess). I have a lot of experience with kids between 2-8y/o and experience with babies from 3 months-18 months. I’m excited to be part of your crew of back up childcare!!!
“Melissa was great with our 10 month old he was very happy! They played and she helped him with nap time! Thank you Melissa!”
**NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE*** Hi, I'm Nora (they/them)! I have been working with kids for a decade now; ages varying from newborn to 14 years. I was a full time nanny for five years before switching to backup and occasional care after my first kiddo was born. I’ve also worked with special needs children/folks on many occasions. I am fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. I come with glowing references. Working with kids is truly my passion in life. I enjoy getting to watch them grow and learn new things through play, reading, and age appropriate adventure. I am currently looking for a full time position and/or consistent occasional care.

Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!
“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”
