Emannuela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emannuela, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil, where I graduated in Early Childhood Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher for five years before moving to the United States. I have over seven years of full-time childcare experience in the U.S., including two years as an au pair in New York, caring for a baby from 3 months to 2 years old, and five years as a nanny in Maryland, looking after three wonderful children between 1 month and 8 years old. I truly enjoy being around kids, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment. I’m currently transitioning careers, but I still love connecting with families and offering occasional babysitting. I’m available after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day and night on weekends, and I’d be happy to help with date nights or special occasions. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for senior companionship, dog sitting, and running errands. Looking forward to speaking with you, Emannuela

Graisen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Graisen. I'm currently a doctoral student in the field of Occupational Therapy. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and it's one of the reasons I chose my career. In addition to babysitting experience with children of different ages, I'm the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, so I've naturally grown up helping care for younger children. I've also helped care for my aunt with Down syndrome, which has taught me patience, compassion, adaptability, and the importance of meeting people where they are. These experiences have shaped the caregiver I am today. I'm responsible, dependable, patient, and creative. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, planning activities, preparing meals, sticking to routines, or simply being someone they can trust, I always strive to provide attentive and compassionate care. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, pet care, and other household tasks to make life a little easier for busy families. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your loved ones, and I would be honored to provide reliable, thoughtful care for your family.
