Oriannie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello ✨my name is Oriannie. I am currently seeking a position as a nanny, a role I truly carry out with love, patience, and dedication. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, supporting their development, and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them and their families. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person with experience providing quality childcare. I am currently available and very interested in a full-time position. I have attached my resume and would be happy to connect with any family looking for someone they can truly trust. I am a registered nurse, and my credentials have been officially recognized (validated) in the United States; therefore, I do not need a separate CPR certification. I would be happy to provide copies of my academic transcripts and other documentation. Yes, I drive to work. I take full responsibility for the baby's care; my duties include preparing meals and handling everything related to the baby, such as light housekeeping and facilitating routines that support their development. I can provide references from families I have worked with previously. Spanish is my native language, though this has never been an obstacle to my work. I hold a valid work permit for the United States ✨✨💗

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Victoria and I'm currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with children -- I am currently an intern at a hospital and spend most of my day providing individual treatment and group therapy (watching over 11 kiddos at the same time!) My brother has 2 kids, who I've babysat since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, helping with homework, tutoring (Spanish), and even tennis lessons (I was a D1 athlete in college so I would love to teach your kids how to play tennis!) I have a car, so I could also take them/pick them up from school, drive to appointments, and run errands. I grew up looking after my family dog, Bella, and would absolutely love to watch your pet(s) as well!
