June $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m June, I am a caring and reliable nanny with over 6 years of paid experience supporting infants and young children. I currently work part-time for a family and am looking to add another position to my schedule. I’m calm, patient, and great at creating a safe, warm environment for little ones. I enjoy helping with routines, naps, feeding, playtime, and keeping things running smoothly for parents. I’m available Saturdays through Tuesdays and open to date nights, part-time care, and regular weekly schedules. I love working with kids and I’m excited to connect with a family who needs dependable support.
