Sara $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN. Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!

Nicole $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Nicole, but you can call me Cole. I recently moved back to the area after six years in Dallas, TX. On top of previous nanny experience, I am a first time mom to a 13 month old baby boy. I am CPR certified and well versed in infant first aid. My nannying experience includes, but is not limited to, children ranging from ages 2 through 15, caring for multiple animals (including reptiles), light to moderate housework and organizing, assisting in personal event planning, perfecting homemade cupcakes, and more. I am very passionate about the outdoors, creating learning experiences, and helping cultivate the village it takes to help families thrive. Professionally, after my last nannying position, I worked in the live music production space as an operations coordinator and received my 200HR Pilates instructor certification with an emphasis on classical reformer Pilates. After becoming a mother myself, I made the decision to revisit family and home management as it was plain to see where my compassion resided the most. Ideally, I will work with families who are open to my son (up to date on age appropriate vax) accompanying me on days my husband travels for work. I have an insured, clean, and safe SUV, a clean driving record, and an infant car seat available to use if needed or desired. I am open to family and home care for all ages. Due to allergies, I am limited to households with maximum one cat. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
