Debbie $19 per hour for 1 child
Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
Lizbeth $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a patient, loving person who enjoys creating connections with the children I care for. I love being a part of their growth and fostering their autonomy and independence. I have over three years of experience caring for children of all ages, particularly with infants and toddlers, as well as certifications in First Aid and CPR. My skills range from meal preparation to sleep strategies. Being bilingual, I enjoy speaking with them in both Spanish and English while doing arts and crafts, playing, and learning together.
