Hello. My name is Jordan and I’m 22. I have two siblings aged 18 and 11. I have experience babysitting children from the age of 4 months to 12 years old.I also have experience babysitting children with special needs. I’m also very experienced with having more than one little one running around. I have had groups of up to 6 in my private sitting experience. As well as my private experience I also formerly worked as an After School Counselor for the YMCA and as an After School Teacher at Thales Academy (Private school). I’m also a very experienced pet sitter so if you have furry friends I’m all about it too. These are the basics and I’d love to chat with anyone who may have questions!
“Jordan was so kind and friendly with our baby girl. We booked with her twice and both times she arrived early and was respectful of our home. We especially appreciated her responsiveness during the booking process and her ability to communicate with us when we had questions or wanted to check on our little girl!”
Hi! My name is Yanelly, and I have over 4 years of experience caring for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I’m currently an Infant Teacher and truly love working with little ones and watching them grow. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and SIDS certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m patient, dependable, and nurturing, and I strive to create a fun, safe, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every child as if they were my own and enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with families.
I am a retired teacher, having worked with middle and high schoolers in the area of Language Arts for 38 years. Currently, I am a nanny, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for elementary students. My life has been spent helping children learn and grow, to my great enjoyment. I have an M.Ed. in Reading Education and am a National Board Certified teacher since 2000. One of my proudest career moments was being chosen as WRAL's Teacher of the Week on Dec. 2, 2015. I am mother to four adult sons (two adopted from Russia) and a grandmother to three grandchildren, ages 1, 4, and 8. I have served as a foster parent through Children's Home Society; every child deserves a safe, loving home. I have completed Child and Baby First Aid/ CPR/AED training through the American Red Cross. I am fully vaccinated! My strong points are my patience, creativity, and energy. Yes, I consider myself a young 70 year old! I am a non- smoker, love pets, and have reliable transportation. I enjoy baseball, traveling, reading, hiking, and antiquing. My recent trips have included France, Ireland, Scotland, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, and South Dakota. All have been fun learning experiences! I hope to meet you and your family soon!
Hi! I am a graduate of UMass Boston with over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve gained my expertise through roles in Boston Public Schools, Case Manager, two years of nannying for a family with twins, and babysitting for various sitter apps. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds. I am responsible, trustworthy, loving, caring, fun, and active. I enjoy doing arts and crafts and playing sports with kids. I am confident that I will be a great fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!
I'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.
