A loving and caring nanny coming to your home to take care of your most prized possession, your precious child. I have been working as a professional nanny for over 10 years, working with numerous amazing families. The growth and development of your child is my number one priority. I am not only a child care provider, but also a preschool teacher infant and todler room, mother to my two incredible grown children. I have worked in preschool settings as a teacher for over five years so I do have a lot of experience working on educating toddlers. I have a great deal of passion teaching young minds about growth and self-esteem and development. I am looking for a loving family to become a part of and to grow with the family for long-term.
Hi I am a mother of three amazing adult kids. My oldest (27) is a college graduate working as a Computer Engineer. My middle child is a Biology graduate from University of San Francisco and last but not least my youngest daughter (19) is in the arts and loves all things music. A side from my love of being a mom, I'm passionate about health and fitness. Now that my kids are independent, I would love to be a part of your kids growth and have tons of fun while doing so! I'm always open to starting with a call to see if we are a good fit for each other.
Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!
I am an experienced educator with 5 years of working with children, including 2 years as a teacher, 1 year as a substitute teacher, and 2 years as a teacher assistant. I primarily work with children ages 6–8 but have experience supporting students from TK through 12th grade. Before my professional career, I regularly babysat younger cousins, helping me develop patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. I also earned my CNA and Home Health Aide certifications in 2022 and gained hands-on experience providing care and support to seniors. I am nurturing, dependable, energetic, and highly disciplined. My commitment to fitness has strengthened my consistency, time management, and responsibility, which I carry into all areas of my life through habits like meal prepping, staying organized, and planning ahead. I enjoy connecting with children through activities like soccer, crafts, and creative play, and my background in education and caregiving allows me to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for those in my care.
Hi! I’m Alyssa, an experienced elementary school teacher and longtime childcare provider. I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for! I have several years of professional experience working with children in elementary school settings, along with extensive babysitting experience. As a teacher, I’m especially comfortable with routines, homework help, reading practice, and keeping kids engaged without relying on screens. I’m happy to help with everything from after-school care and date nights to weekend babysitting, homework support, playtime, meals, and bedtime routines. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I always make an effort to learn each family’s routines and preferences. I’d love to get to know your family and be someone you feel comfortable trusting with your children!
