Hi! My name is Marianna. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with kids. Before coming back to school full time I worked with KIPP as an after school instructor for elementary and middle school students. At KIPP some of my favorite activities to do with the kids included arts and crafts and fun outdoor activities! I am also available for household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands.
Claire $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.
