Tranell $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.

Andrea $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a history of caring for people throughout my entire life. I started babysitting and doing art projects with my neighbor's children at the age of 13. I was the kid who taught all the other kids to draw, waterski, and help with chores. I was a traveling nanny for five children, moving around with the family during the summers for their vacations and working at home with them for one full year. I cooked for them, took them to events, and entertained them; I drove them all over for sightseeing outings and managed all their needs. It was a big job and I was only 18. I went on to house-sit and provide child care for many friends and neighbors over the years. I also house-sit and pet-sit for many clients. I started my own pet-sitting service while working at a pet store when I was 19. I became a gallery salesperson at the age of 19 and soon began attending community college, where I completed my general ed towards my BFA. I then moved to Paris, France, for a year to further my studies. After graduating with my BFA, I pursued a career as an art center director, curator, and exhibitions coordinator. I raised two sons, one from birth and the second I adopted when he was 15. I was the carpool parent, the extra special event parent, the yummy snack parent, and the art and museum experience parent. I also directed an art center for 11 years, during which I created an after-school arts and academic education program serving elementary through high school at-risk youth. I went on to direct non-profit museum spaces, work as a college professor with community college students, and freelance as an exhibition coordinator and curator for a U.S. exhibition touring, serving a world-renowned artist. I continued to help elderly friends in need, care for children, and house- and pet-sit. I am the friend most people call on for choices, errands, childcare, help when someone is sick, rides, fun, adventure, hikes, house repairs, or care, and help in general. I enjoy helping people, and I am very good at it. I am 57 years young and have spent my life caring for people, as my career and life have blossomed.

Vivien $25 per hour for 1 child

I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
