Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m a reliable, caring nanny and mother’s helper with several years of experience supporting families in their homes. I’ve worked with children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment through reading, singing, creative play, and structured routines. I’m CPR certified and previously worked as a CNA, which has helped me develop strong caregiving, safety, and communication skills. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, children’s laundry, meal prep, and supporting busy parents. Families appreciate that I’m dependable, organized, and calm. I have reliable transportation, speak English and Spanish, and I’m looking for consistent, long-term opportunities. 💕
“If you're looking for an incredible nanny, I can’t recommend Abby enough! She was with our family for two years, caring for our two kids before they both enrolled in the same elementary school. Abby is kind, sharp, hardworking, and exceptionally professional. She creates a warm, engaging, and safe environment, and our kids absolutely adored her. ”
Hi! My name is Yoselyn, and I am a responsible, caring, and dependable childcare provider with 2 years of experience working in a licensed family daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I am a native Spanish speaker with conversational English skills and am certified in Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and attentive to children’s needs. I love helping children learn, grow, and feel confident while providing reliable and compassionate care. I am happy to assist with child-related tasks, including preparing simple meals and snacks, keeping children’s areas clean and organized, tidying play spaces, and supporting daily routines. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for their children.

Hi - My name is Sterling, and I'm currently a student at Canada College. I am offering child care. I am good with kids, but usually babysit my aunts three kids, ages 3, 7, and 10, as well as help with their puppy. However, I've babysat kids in my family and around my neighborhood on and off since I was 16. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am comfortable with animals in general, as I have two cats of my own; however, I am afraid of bigger dogs ( especially if they slobber a lot), spiders, and reptiles.
Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have the most experience caring for children ages 9 months to 2 years old, and I especially enjoy this age because I love being part of their learning, development, and everyday routines. In my previous childcare experience, I enjoyed creating fun and engaging activities such as reading books, going to the park, visiting libraries and museums, and finding age-appropriate ways for children to explore and learn. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, naps, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine. I would love the opportunity to expand my experience with newborns and younger babies. While I have less experience with newborns, I’m very attentive to detail, eager to learn, and would take the time to understand your baby’s individual routine, needs, and preferences. I want parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their child is in caring hands. I’m currently attending college and would love to find a family I can build a trusting and long-term relationship with!
