Yvonne $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a nanny and I’m looking to fill in extra days when I’m available. I am a mom of two children, which has given me a deep understanding of children’s needs, routines, and emotional care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I am flexible and always respectful of parents’ preferences and routines. I have my own car and reliable transportation. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, as I have a dog myself and love animals. My primary language is Spanish, and I have an intermediate level of English. I am always open to learning and improving my language skills. I take my work seriously and treat every family and child with care, patience, and respect. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

$45 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in Salem, MA

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture, and my current role as a commercial flight attendant. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family! **Note: I rely on the MBTA and commuter rail. If your home isn't easily accessible by transit, I'm happy to discuss an Uber arrangement, but please note this may affect the final rate.**

“CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!”

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 78 families in Salem, MA

Hi! My name is Lina! I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Santa Clara University, where I did most of my nannying and babysitting while in school. I have experience caring for children ages 5 months to 12 years old. My experience includes helping with homework, preparing simple meals, driving children to activities, bedtime routines, and chaperoning playdates. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative, with my own car and a clean driving record. I’m currently working full-time in marketing and looking to take on occasional babysitting opportunities!

“Lina worked for me for a year+ - helping after school hours for my kiddos to/from activities, etc. Also, she helped me with my dog - taking her for a brief walk in the afternoons before the kids were home from school. She's punctual and kind.”
