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!

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.

Hi there! I have been a nanny and/or involved in childcare for almost ten years. I grew up in College Park, Orlando, FL and that is where I had my first nannying jobs. I was privileged to become close with my neighbors who had just moved next door and we became quick family friends. They had just had their first child and now they have four! I took care of all children throughout their lives until they moved to Utah about four years ago. Through them I found that I had a natural ability to care for children. Through word of mouth, I started nannying other families in the Orlando area and resumed during the summers when I was home from college. After I gradutated college in 2013, I came home to study for the LSAT in preparation of law school. During that two year period that I remained in Orlando, I continued to nanny for several families. This nannying included dropping off and picking up from school, transporting to afterschool activities, night sitting, overnight sitting, etc. I also would attend to household duties including laundry, washing and/or empting of dishwasher, the feeding and walking of animals, etc. After attending law school and passing the Florida Bar, I continued to nanny for families [(throughout COVID-19 for those parents who had essential jobs (e.g., a nurse)] while also working at a large insurance company part-time. Eventually, in September 2021, I decided to make the move to Washington, D.C., a goal I had always had. Although I eventually want to resume my law career, providing care to children and being able to assist parents with those they value most important is still a passion of mine that I want to continue. Throughout my nannying career, I have cared for newborns/ infants (e.g., twins, including one with a disability), toddlers, elementary aged children, middle school aged children, and even offering after-school homework help to children in high school. In addition, I have had the privilege to travel with several families on trips on multiple occasions (e.g., Utah and Vermont). Overall, I find myself to be set apart from other nannies or child care providers because I have been able to witness children at every stage of their life, providing me with a unique set of skills for whatever a family may need or require out of a babysitter/ nanny.
