$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Professional Nanny with over 15 years experience taking care of children of all ages, including multiple siblings at the same time. I take care of all children as if they were my own. I am nurturing, caring, and will always have their best interest in mind. I always look forward to meeting with parents to truly customize the experience, after all, no 2 kids are the same! Discussions include food preferences, personal habits, restrictions, etc. Maintaining a safe and positive environment is very important to me. I enjoy preparing various activities, playing games, and meal preparation. I can be available to help with laundry, grocery shopping, assist your children with their studies as well as assist in pick ups and drop offs as needed. I know it's not easy to leave your children alone with someone new, but rest assured, they will be in great, comforting, and patient hands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family soon!

I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, along with providing household support. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with families to provide dependable, compassionate, and patient care tailored to individual needs. My experience includes preparing meals, helping with daily routines, administering medication, offering companionship, and keeping a safe, clean environment. I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to preteens, and I'm known for being nurturing, responsible, and creative—often engaging kids with educational games, crafts, and outdoor play. I’ve also assisted seniors with mobility support, light housekeeping, errands, and emotional companionship, which taught me the importance of empathy and trust. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that are essential in any caregiving role. I’m also organized, respectful of people’s privacy and routines, and take pride in creating a warm, supportive atmosphere wherever I work. Whether it’s a child, an elderly loved one, or a beloved pet, I always give 100% of my care, attention, and respect.

Hi !! Im Kay the oldest out of three siblings so taking care of kids has pretty much been in my DNA since day one. I’ve got over 10 years of experience with little ones — especially infants — and now I’m a mom of three myself, so I know what it takes to keep babies happy, safe, and on a good routine. I’m super hands-on, patient, and always bring good energy wherever I go. Kids usually warm up to me fast because I treat them like my own. And when it comes to pets, I’m all for it — my husband runs a pet training and boarding business, so we’re big on animals and know how to handle them with care. Your babies (and fur babies) will be in great hands with I do prefer to provide care from my home so I can offer a comfortable, family-style setting for your child. With three little ones of my own, I’ve built a space that’s safe, engaging, and full of love kind of like a mini daycare! Your child will have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a caring environment while you’re away.
