Erin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Natalia $31 per hour for 1 child

I've spent over a decade caring for children across a wide age range, from infants through early teens. My childcare experience began when I cared for my younger sister from ages 11 to 18, additionally I was a summer camp counselor for three consecutive years, first when I was 15. Since then, I've worked as a live-in nanny for multiple families. I spent one year with a 4-year-old boy, and another year I also cared for three girls (ages 8, 10, and 12) in another live-in position, helping with everything from homework to activities, driving them places, and building a supportive home environment. For the past five years, I've worked as a babysitter for children ranging from ages 2 to 13. I'm comfortable with bedtimes, meal prep, homework help, activities, and handling the day-to-day needs of different age groups. I’m reliable, patient, love doing fun things and generally create a fun and creative environment. I’m an artist and won’t say no to an arts and crafts project. I like talking to children about science and encourage them to learn.
