Brianna $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time while saving up to continue my education. Babysitting has always come naturally to me since I’ve helped raise my twin siblings (they’re 7 now). From school mornings and packed lunches to after-school homework and bedtime, I’ve had hands-on experience with all the routines that come with growing kids. I also have recent infant experience my sister-in-law’s baby is turning one, and I’ve spent plenty of time helping with bottles, naps, and playtime.

Booked by 30 families in Opa Locka, FL

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 2 families in Opa Locka, FL

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!
