Brianda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a bilingual, Spanish-speaking individual with over six years of experience in the healthcare field, specifically in chiropractic care, and I have a strong passion for working with children. I hold an Associate’s degree in Science and am currently pursuing further education. Although I haven’t worked as a professional caregiver, I’ve had the joy of caring for children in my family and among friends, ranging from ages 1 and older and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and always eager to help others. My faith is a cornerstone of my life, and I’m actively involved in my church’s youth group. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, exploring new coffee shops, and experimenting with cooking and baking. I love trying new things and creating meaningful, positive connections with those I care for.

Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to my work. I respect parents’ instructions and routines, but I also like being proactive and bringing new ideas and activities that children can enjoy, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. A little about my personality: I can be quiet and reserved at first, but I am very sweet, caring, and enjoy building connections with children. I take my responsibilities seriously and always try to create a warm and positive environment for the families I work with. I also love animals, so I feel very comfortable in homes with pets.

Abbey $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi. I have just completed my first year of medical school and am working part time on a summer project in the city. I worked as a nanny and summer camp counselor throughout college, and thus have spent extensive time caring for children. I taught swim lessons, horse-back riding, and other camp-related activities. I have flexible hours this summer and am hoping to help out families as I can! I also have a car and can assist with transport.

Celestine $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January. I grew up with my mom running an in-home daycare and I have cared for the many toddlers and children in my family, so I have lots of experience and love for children! I also have experience caring for pets. I am enthusiastic, dependable, caring, and responsible. In addition to caring for children, I am happy to complete household responsibilities, pet care, rides to/from activities, and help with errands. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Nadiia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nadiia and I am a mom of a 5-year-old boy. I have real experience taking care of children every day as a parent, and I understand how important it is to keep kids safe, happy, and busy. In the past, I also helped take care of my grandmother, so I am very patient and responsible. I love animals, so pets are never a problem. I am looking for part-time morning jobs where I can help families with babysitting, light play, meals, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for. Parents describe me as kind, caring, and reliable. I would be happy to meet your family!
