Noor $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Noor, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones! I have experience babysitting children of different ages, along with 2 years of experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). My experience as an RBT has given me lots of experience working with children, understanding their individual needs, and creating a fun and supportive environment for them. I’m CPR certified and always make safety a top priority. I love keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and simply making sure they have a fun time while they’re in my care. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I want both you and your children to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away!

Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!
