Natalie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has always been a meaningful part of my life. I began by helping raise my sister, who is 13 years younger than me, and over the years I’ve cared for cousins, friends’ children, and others in my community. I started babysitting in high school and continued for several years, both professionally and informally, developing experience with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens (up to 12 years old). I am confident and capable in managing routines, playtime, meals, and the unique personalities of each child. In addition to childcare, I’ve worked in fast-paced environments such as law firms, World Bank events and high-end restaurants, which has honed my organizational skills, ability to multitask, and calmness under pressure. I’m family-oriented, creative and culturally diverse. English is my first language and I speak perfect Spanish. I’m also familiar with Arabic language and culture, allowing me to connect with children from different backgrounds. With a foundation in arts and hospitality, I enjoy engaging kids through creativity, interactive play, and making meals fun and appealing. I’ve recently returned to babysitting as a way to earn extra income doing something I genuinely love, and I take the responsibility very seriously!

“Natalie is incredible with my kids and is such a fun, engaging, and genuinely interesting person. She has a natural ability to connect with children in a way that feels both relatable and grounding, while still keeping things structured and functional. She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and responsible, and you can immediately tell that caregiving comes naturally to her. My kids adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Your children will be in excellent hands with Natalie.”

Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️
