Mya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! A little bit about me, my name is Mya and I aspire to be a positive and kind presence in people’s lives. I try to appreciate the little things, enjoy every moment and remind others to do the same! I am currently a lifeguard at my hometown pool and am trained in CPR and first aid protocols. I’ve also worked as a gymnastics coach which taught me how to control but also appeal to children in various ways! I love animals and own two cats of my own, I also have owned dogs in the past. I can clean and run errands just say the word. I’d love a chance to prove my value! Thank you!

Jessica $22 per hour for 1 child

I served as a nanny throughout my college years and am also a mother to three children, who are now in high school, middle school, and third grade. While I have experience across all ages, I find the toddler stage particularly rewarding as they begin to explore the world around them. I also find the infant stage to be a truly precious time. To ensure I can provide my undivided attention and the highest quality of care, I am primarily looking to work with a single family rather than participating in a nanny share. I would love to discuss how my experience and approach to childcare might align with your family's needs.

"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."
