Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.
Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.
“Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.”
Hi hi! My name is Nohely and I am a recent college graduate! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love children, and have taken care of and taught toddlers and school age since I was 18 years old. In addition, I have taken care of animals ever since I got my first dog walking job at 13 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, prepping snacks and meals, and going on nature walks. I can also work as a household assistant and run errands or housesit. I am looking forward to working with you soon!
“One of the best ”
I am currently working as a part time care giver and helps take care of my grandchildren ages 2, 7 and 9 on my days off. I used to work as a teacher aide when I first arrived in the US, I decided to leave to help my daughter when she first gave birth, now her kids are older and I am looking for something meaningful to do on my free days.
Hello everyone! Child care experience: My name is Camila and I’m 21 years old. I am very much of a people person. I’m observant, detail oriented, open minded and observant. I have had experience with kindergartens. My mom has been teaching Elementary school for the past 10 years. I have come to her school to volunteer on my days off from work. This has been for a total of 3 years of volunteering. I enjoy helping out the kids and love seeing their growth throughout kindergarten. Pet care experience: I had a dog of my own for 14 years, he was a Lhasa Apso. I also did a dog walking job back in high school. I did this for a total of 2 years. After the 30 minute walk, I would feed the dog and make sure he had water and played with him for a little. I can do big dogs and little dogs!
