Hi families! My name is Juliana, and I’m a caring, experienced, and highly reliable childcare provider with almost 10 years of experience working with children from 2 months old to 3+ years old. I was an au pair for 2.5 years and never went through a rematch. I also have over 2 years of nanny share experience and have cared for babies starting at 4 and 5 months old, supporting them through important developmental stages into toddlerhood. At the moment, I’m looking for overnight childcare opportunities for specific situations, such as events, date nights, weekend trips, or times when parents need extra support. I’m available for weekend overnights, for example from Friday night to Sunday, as well as weekday overnights from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I also have overnight experience caring for a family with three older children, ages 16, 14, and 12, so I’m comfortable providing overnight support for both younger children and older kids. One family trusted me enough to travel to Mexico for a full week while I stayed with and cared for their baby. I would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, naps, diapering, bedtime, play, and emotional support. Families often describe me as trustworthy, patient, calm, and genuinely devoted to the children in my care. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and deeply cared for.
Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.
Hi! My name is Ally! I’m currently looking for ideally part time consistent work. To best align hours, I just wanted to preface I work a part time, remote job Monday through Thursday; 9:00am-1:00pm. I’ve been babysitting kids around my neighborhood for years now and regularly babysat my little cousin as he grew up! My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person! So I would be love to help out in a home with cats or dogs. Happy to entertain/keep pets busy as well. I have experience petsitting of cats/dogs, for those that are looking for that. I’d be open to helping around the house jobs as well. From cleaning, tidying up, running errands, and cooking. I bring very clear communication to any job I take and want to provide the best care for whatever needs you and your family may need.
