Hi! I’m a registered nurse from California moving to Englewood and looking for occasional babysitting opportunities before I start my nursing job. I have 14+ years of experience working with children. I studied Pedagogy and worked as a teacher in Brazil before moving to the U.S. as an au pair. I’m caring, responsible, CPR certified, and truly love working with kids! 😊

“Aline has been great with our 2 young daughters (5 months old and 2 year old), she was very communicative, both our daughters enjoyed their time with her, and we are looking forward to her help for next times!”

Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***

Hello! I'm a 35 year old that is very active and creative. I've been babysitting, nannying, dogsitting, and housesitting for over 20 years. After college in 2013, I was an Au Pair in Madrid, Spain. I've worked with children of all ages from 2 months to 15 years of age and have watched over 200 children. These jobs have included homework help, driving to activities, cleaning, park visits, crafts, diaper changes, giving medication, cooking, feeding, bathtime, bedtime, etc…you name it, I've done it! I have also done many overnight stays while parents are away. I enjoy babysitting because children are always learning and imagining, and I love to be a part of their growing process! I love to be outdoors, read, do yoga, hike, ski, explore, be with friends, travel, bake, write, and try new things!
