Joanna $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom of three school-age children, looking for regular work on Monday and Tuesday mornings. I was a SAHM until my kids started school, so I have experience in caring for young children and pets while managing a household. I also have paid experience as a nanny for an infant before having children of my own. I am currently building my own business and looking for additional income to supplement that endeavor. I am available 9am-2pm Mondays and Tuesdays. This is not flexible but I am open to occasional babysitting outside those hours.

Hi! My name is Lillian, and I am seeking a part-time nanny position. I have experience working with children from 5 months to 13 years old and am passionate about supporting their growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am currently a college student majoring in Childhood and Adolescent Development, with goals of becoming a teacher and eventually a school counselor. I am dedicated, responsible, and enjoy building meaningful relationships with children. I currently work as a recess coach at Booksin Elementary and previously worked at Gardner Elementary, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities and handling both positive and challenging situations. I also have extensive babysitting and nannying experience. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am happy to help with household tasks and errands. I am organized, attentive, and committed to helping children thrive. I look forward to connecting with families soon!

“She was reliable and professional from start to finish. She handled our two high-energy children with ease, keeping them engaged and active the entire time. She had an endless supply of creative activities that kept them entertained and happy. We especially appreciated how she knew when to check in with us while still giving the kids her full attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. ”

Natalia $28 per hour for 1 child

I've spent over a decade caring for children across a wide age range, from infants through early teens. My childcare experience began when I cared for my younger sister from ages 11 to 18, additionally I was a summer camp counselor for three consecutive years, first when I was 15. Since then, I've worked as a live-in nanny for multiple families. I spent one year with a 4-year-old boy, and another year I also cared for three girls (ages 8, 10, and 12) in another live-in position, helping with everything from homework to activities, driving them places, and building a supportive home environment. For the past five years, I've worked as a babysitter for children ranging from ages 2 to 13. I'm comfortable with bedtimes, meal prep, homework help, activities, and handling the day-to-day needs of different age groups. I’m reliable, patient, love doing fun things and generally create a fun and creative environment. I’m an artist and won’t say no to an arts and crafts project. I like talking to children about science and encourage them to learn.
