Elena $18 per hour for 1 child

I'm looking for a job that is available on the weekends Thursday night or Friday as I am a busy college student and want to give all of my attention to the job. I'd describe my personality as energetic, hard-working, and friendly. I have been a built in babysitter for my 8 cousins most of my life, but I started babysitting for others at the age of 12. I babysat a family of 4 kids from 14 until I graduated high school and then took a break during the first few years of college even though I still regularly watch family ages 3 months - 13 yrs old. In my spare time, I like to play and supervise volleyball, softball, and other sports. I also love to cook and bake and enjoy any form of art. My skills include CPR, working with individuals with neurodivergencies (ADHD, Autism, etc.), and cooking/cleaning. I am potentially looking for more full time work starting in August but I have classes towards the middle of my day so before and after school nannying would work best. Overall, I love kids and I have been around them a lot growing up in a big family. My favorite thing about babysitting is seeing how unique kids are and how amazing and different each one of their personalities is. It take great care to foster a safe environment that they have fun in and feel comfortable and I really take pride and joy in that.

Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been teaching and caring for chores of all ages for almost 14 years in many capacities. As a teacher, I've worked in multiple Sunday and Hebrew schools with several age groups, from 4k through 7th grade. In 2019 I lived in Minneapolis. There, I was a substitute teacher for a daycare that took children ages 14 months to 6 years. I spent several days there each week for a year, most of which was in the toddler room. I also spent about 8-9 months as a part-time nanny for a family with a 2yo and a 4yo. I've spent several years working children of varying ages in youth theater (I am an actor/director). This has really informed my creativity and given me great tools for entertaining kids and helping them grow through using their imagination and ingenuity. I am a non-smoker, a cyclist, and a pet lover with no allergies. I am happy to do meal prep, light house work, and art projects. I am also certified in infant, child, and adult CPR and Firdt Aid. I look forward to speaking with you about your family's needs!

Cynthia $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a parent of 3 children. Now 25, 20 and 15 years of age. I loved every age range! I was a high school teacher for over 20 years. I thoroughly care for my students of all backgrounds and easily establish connections with my students. I've also hosted families with Safe Families of Milwaukee. In this capacity my family would host children while mothers/parents were able to get back on their feet. We've hosted children with ages ranging from 2 to 11 years of age. (The times have ranged between a week to 8 weeks of hosting in our home. ) We are avid pet owners. Cats, dogs and a parrot have been part of our family for 25 years!

Amanda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I’m a confident and safe driver, CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m very comfortable around water — I know how to swim and always prioritize safety. I grew up in a family where care and responsibility were part of everyday life: my father was a firefighter and my mother is a nurse, which taught me the importance of safety, calmness, and quick thinking in any situation. I love helping children grow in a safe, organized, and loving environment. I’m happy to assist with organizing children’s spaces, tidying up toys, and light cleaning related to the kids, helping families keep a smooth daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy being part of a child’s development. I would love to support your family and create a positive, caring environment for your kids

"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!"
