Pauline $18 per hour for 1 child

As a compassionate and dedicated caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care to individuals in need. With a strong background in supporting the elderly, and caring for children, I offer a combination of empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I am skilled in assisting with daily activities such as meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and mobility support, while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I have a deep sense of responsibility and a strong connection to my family, both of which shaped my caring nature. Growing up in a big, close-knit family provided me with many valuable life lessons. My approach is always client-centered, respecting their dignity and promoting independence wherever possible. I am eager to bring my skills and nurturing attitude to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.

Taryn $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m 19 years old, a recent GED graduate, interested in pursuing Nannying full time. My main interest include reading, baking, and sewing! I have mostly worked with ages 6 months and up but love to gain experience in other age ranges. Nannying has made it possible to use my natural gifts of patience and self giving love everyday and do something I throughly enjoy! I am very flexible, and love to cater to each family’s particular needs. My main services include, childcare and pet care. However, if there is something else that i'm missing I would love to chat to see if I can be of any help!

Hi Families! ♥︎ My name is Isabella, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teenagers. One of my most valuable experiences was working as an Au Pair for two years, where I lived with a wonderful family and became a big part of the children’s daily lives. I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, transportation to sports and activities, homework, meals, playdates, bedtime routines, and everything in between. What I love most about childcare is building genuine connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and be themselves. I am naturally very patient, caring, and energetic, and I truly enjoy being involved in the activities children love. I am a very creative person and enjoy planning crafts, games, outdoor adventures, baking activities, story time, imaginative play, and age-appropriate learning activities. I believe children thrive when they are engaged and having fun, so I try to keep screen time to a minimum and encourage hands-on activities whenever possible. I also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten classroom and have experience caring for children with medical needs, including administering asthma medications and inhalers under parental guidance. In addition, I am a Certified Phlebotomist, which has given me professional healthcare experience and strengthened my attention to safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, a non-smoker, comfortable around pets, have reliable transportation, and maintain a clean driving record. I have been living in the United States since 2017 and am happily married. Families often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is simple: to create a positive experience for both parents and children, and to become someone your kids are excited to see again! I look forward to meeting your family! ❤️
