Kristin $30 per hour for 1 child
A loving and caring nanny coming to your home to take care of your most prized possession, your precious child. I have been working as a professional nanny for over 10 years, working with numerous amazing families. The growth and development of your child is my number one priority. I am not only a child care provider, but also a preschool teacher infant and todler room, mother to my two incredible grown children. I have worked in preschool settings as a teacher for over five years so I do have a lot of experience working on educating toddlers. I have a great deal of passion teaching young minds about growth and self-esteem and development. I am looking for a loving family to become a part of and to grow with the family for long-term.
Giselle $27 per hour for 1 child
I am an experienced educator with 5 years of working with children, including 2 years as a teacher, 1 year as a substitute teacher, and 2 years as a teacher assistant. I primarily work with children ages 6–8 but have experience supporting students from TK through 12th grade. Before my professional career, I regularly babysat younger cousins, helping me develop patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. I also earned my CNA and Home Health Aide certifications in 2022 and gained hands-on experience providing care and support to seniors. I am nurturing, dependable, energetic, and highly disciplined. My commitment to fitness has strengthened my consistency, time management, and responsibility, which I carry into all areas of my life through habits like meal prepping, staying organized, and planning ahead. I enjoy connecting with children through activities like soccer, crafts, and creative play, and my background in education and caregiving allows me to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for those in my care.
