Micaelle $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mica, originally from Brazil, and I have about five years of childcare experience as a babysitter and teacher. I’ve worked with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m currently an Au Pair in California and have been part of the program for a year and a half. I’ve always had a passion for caring for children and genuinely love being part of their growth and development. My approach is creative, fun, and nurturing. I naturally connect with children and find it easy to build trust and make them feel comfortable around me. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different personalities, behaviors, and situations, and I feel confident adapting to each child’s needs, whether it’s keeping them entertained, helping them calm down, or making sure they always feel safe and cared for. My experience includes preparing meals, school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework, organizing activities, arts and crafts, and managing daily routines. I’m also CPR and First Aid/BLS certified through the American Heart Association. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and have strong communication and organizational skills. I love cooking and enjoy preparing healthy meals and snacks. I speak Portuguese and English, as well as a little Spanish. I have a valid driver’s license and am comfortable with pets. I would love to bring my experience, positive energy, and dedication to a wonderful family!

Arianna $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m currently working part-time as a Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant, and I’m looking to continue nannying and babysitting part-time or on an as-needed basis. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, including providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while parents are away. My experience includes supervising children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, maintaining routines, and assisting with bedtime and daily care. Working in pediatric physical therapy has also given me additional experience working with children and supporting their individual needs and development. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and dependable, and I truly enjoy working with children!
