Hello, my name is Joan. I have more than 10 years of experience in early childhood education, teaching children aged 3 to 5.

Kimberly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kimberly! I offer child care, pet care, and senior care. I'm in a transitional career stage, love kids, and have a background art/design and food. Caring for your kids is a great way to combine these things while I figure out what's next. Happy to engage in activities, go to the park, read, draw, stay off screens if preferred, make healthy snacks/meals, adhere to your routines and boundaries, and be a trustworthy (and hopefully fun) buddy. Most of my recent experience with kids is more casual: hanging out with friends' kids. I have a fair amount of distant babysitting experience from years ago! Happy to offer referrals. I'm gluten-free but can cook anything, and know my way around dietary restrictions.

Kamila 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamila! I am actively looking for a job and offering one-time babysitting, pet care, and household services while I secure an accounting position. I love babysitting and have been watching children for co-workers, family, and friends for the past 5 years. I have babysat children from 6 months to 10 years old. My responsibilities have been crafts, cooking, cleaning, and tutoring. I have a car and feel comfortable doing pickups/dropoffs as needed. I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have helped siblings and classmates with Spanish homework. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for cats and dogs. I love animals (I have two cats and a snake) and feel comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in providing medical care to animals as well. I regularly care for an epileptic, 70 lb dog.

“When she lived in Utah, Kamila babysat my grandchildren on several occasions for a couple of years when they were 5, 7, and 9. Today, they are 8, 10, and 12 YO, and they still talk about how much fun they had when they were with Kamila. Although the kids enjoyed the time with her, they did not deviate from their routines. Kamila was very diligent, ensuring homework was done, meals were taken at the right time (if required), and bedtime routines were followed. Kamila is very responsible, flexible, and will make herself available even at short notice (if she can do it). She is very professional and reliable. I'd be happy to recommend her any time.”

Soraya $26 per hour for 1 child

⸻ Since 2007, I have dedicated my professional life to working with children and supporting their growth, development, and success. My background as a special education teacher has given me extensive experience working with children of different ages, personalities, learning styles, and abilities. Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in patience, communication, organization, problem-solving, and emotional support, all of which I believe are essential qualities for an excellent caregiver and nanny. Working with children is more than just a job for me—it is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I take pride in helping children build confidence, achieve goals, and feel safe, supported, and encouraged in their daily lives. As a special education teacher, I work closely with children who have unique learning and developmental needs. This experience has taught me how to be adaptable, compassionate, and attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and responds differently to situations, routines, and communication styles. Because of this, I always approach caregiving with patience, understanding, and flexibility. I believe children thrive best when they feel heard, respected, and cared for in a positive environment. Over the years, I have worked with students on academic goals, social skills, behavioral development, emotional regulation, and daily life skills. My work requires consistency, creativity, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I have learned how to encourage children in a supportive way while also maintaining structure and routines that help them feel secure and confident. These same skills translate naturally into being a nanny and caregiver. I understand the importance of creating a stable, nurturing, and positive atmosphere where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. One of the things I enjoy most about working with children is helping them recognize their strengths and abilities. I believe every child has potential, and I enjoy finding ways to motivate and encourage them to succeed. Whether I am helping with homework, guiding a child through challenges, organizing activities, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create meaningful interactions that support their development and happiness. I truly enjoy seeing children gain confidence, learn new skills, and accomplish goals.

Flavia 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello family, I’m Flavia Martins, from Brazil, and I have been working as nanny for about 14 years. I have a lot of experience with newborn, babies to teenager and experience with kids Autistic, ADHD and Special Needs! I use to drive them around, take them to the park and their activities, meal prep, help with homework and I love to be outside and do arts and crafts with kids! My last job I watched two girls, 10 months an 4yo. I worked for this family for about 2 years and now I'm currently looking for one time job, part time job or/and weekends job. I'm very friendly person, easy going, patient and lovely. I also have two kids of my own, one is 17yo boy and my girl is 13yo! I have a CPR and I'm fluent Portuguese language too. I have good references, if you need too.

“Flavia is fantastic all around! She has helped our family several times and is very reliable and dependable. She is excellent with our 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl and they love it when Flavia comes over. Flavia has great positivity and energy and plays very well with the kids. Flavia also communicates very well and is very responsive. Further, she is extremely helpful around the house with any cleaning or chores that could be needed. Highly recommend!”
