Hi I’m Katie! I’ve worked with children in many different settings- babysitting, classroom, summer camp, and swim lessons. I studied animal science and would love to help take care of your pets as well. Please reach out and I look forward to connecting!

“We came from out of town and Katie helped us with both kids on 3 separate occasions and everything went so well! She was prompt and even took them swimming. We'll definitely book with her again next visit.”

Hi! I’m Sara — an experienced, warm, and highly reliable nanny based in Miami. I have over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience caring for different ages. I’m CPR certified, safety-focused, and naturally calm and patient. I believe in positive guidance, clear boundaries, and creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure and understood. Whether it’s playtime, outdoor activities, public outings, or bedtime routines, I stay attentive, proactive, and fully engaged. Families describe me as responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is, and my goal is always for parents to feel completely at ease while they’re away. I’m comfortable with: • Dinner & bedtime routines • Public outings & birthday parties • Diaper changes & potty training stages • Light clean-up related to the children • Managing multiple children calmly I look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 5 families in Miami, FL

Hey there, my name is Karen! I moved here from NYC, originally from Chicago. I’m a preschool teacher with 5+ years of experience working in daycare and school settings, with occasional babysitting my students on the side. I’ve worked with kids in many capacities and ages ranging from infancy to school-aged. I enjoy teaching children through hands-on activities by setting up the environment for them to explore and learn for themselves through play and thoughtful guidance. I like keeping kids active by engaging in arts and crafts, spending outdoor time, building blocks, playing sports/tag, and exploring the neighborhood. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and have a valid driver’s license. I also obtained my Early Childhood Education Credential Level 5 through my work/field experience and college courses. With a background in early childhood education, I understand what is developmentally appropriate for children’s learning and development. In my free time I enjoy experimenting with new recipes, trying out different restaurants, nature walks/hikes, jamming to live music, and exploring museums/galleries. Will provide references upon request. Feel free to reach out to me and connect! :) ___________________________________ PLEASE NOTE MY REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO BOOKING: Booking minimum: 4 hours Cancellation policy: If you need to cancel, please do so at least 48 hours prior to your booking. Time changes: If you come home earlier than the time scheduled, payment will still be required for the entire booking. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to babysitting your child(ren)!

“Karen is so amazing! She is exceptionally great at pretend play and arts & crafts, which my little girl loves. She brings her own crafts/materials too. She's always on time, never on her phone, and is really good with gentle parenting/correcting/ redirecting when it comes to bad behavior and big emotions.”

Hello families, my name is Viorika and I am offering child care, pet care, and housekeeping. I am an online community college student and have been taking care of family and friends’ little ones since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds. I volunteered at Elon Elementary with second graders helping them read and assisting teachers. I’ve done housekeeping and cleaning for AirBnB properties for 1 year, so you can take advantage of your free time while I tend to household duties. Whether it’s crafts time for your children or playing outside, I can be of service. I love art, being active, and learning. I can offer tutoring as I have taken 8 AP classes. I am offering short and longer-term nanny/childcare services. Additionally, I am proficient in Spanish and some Romanian. I can work at different hours and have a flexible schedule. I have no allergies and am willing to work with different animals. I can also provide pick up/drop off services and cook for your family. If there are other specific tasks to be accomplished, I will get them done. I am looking forward to meeting your family and be of assistance!
