Nayeli $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nayeli, i’m a 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Miami. I have 3 younger brothers who I have raised since they were babies, and well as all the little ones from my family, (cousins, nephews and nieces) all from a very young age. I love working with kids, and am able to resonate with them easily. I love music, books, art, movies, cooking, and participating in all different types of activities. I’m extremely patient, kind, responsible, and extremely attentive. Able to work in any given environment and very adaptable to any situation. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I’ve always dreamed of having a family of my own and will make sure your kids are very well taken care of!

Sloan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sloan and I’m from NC but I currently live here in Miami for college! I absolutely adore kids and I have worked with them for many years! I’ve babysat kids in my neighborhood of all ages and in high school, I took classes where I had the opportunity to learn all about children and their development and needs through the Early Childhood Education class which also allowed me to work everyday with the kids in the preschool that was attached to my high school! I also took a Teacher Cadet class where I picked to work with Kindergarteners where I had to make lesson plans and teach the class! I spent every morning with them for 9 weeks and would spend any of my extra days working with them as well!

Bella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Bella and I'm currently a freshman at FIU. I am offering childcare, dog and house sitting. I love spending time with children and have been babysitting since I was 13. I am the second oldest of six kids and grew up around infants and toddlers long before I began babysitting. I am allergic to cats but would love to work with dogs or hypoallergenic cats.

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working as a Nanny with ranging in age from 4 months and up to the age of 14 years old. My duties are to take care of the children, engage with them, and to provide a safe environment on a day to day basis, including, their laundry, make their beds, organize their closets, clean their shoes and organizing their toys. Sometimes they need help with homework so I assist with projects and study sessions. I assist in activities such as board games, basketball, swimming, cooking and baking. I’m also responsible for taking them to their afternoon activities such as tennis, ballet, ju jitsu, etc. I also traveled with the families.
