Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!

Tara $50 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning

Andrea $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year old woman who arrived to USA from Colombia two years ago. I have full time experience with two kids, one toddler and one 8 year old boy. In addition, I have occasionally taken care of babies and have worked in a school as a counselor. I love taking care of creative kids who like drawing, building, dancing, playing hide and seek or using their imagination to play. But I also enjoy going to the playground and having a good outdoor time. I like pets and do not have any type of allergies. I am a responsible caregiver, a good friend for the kids and I make sure to clean any mess that can exist as a result of our games. As a nanny, I make sure to communicate any questions and update the parents often to make sure they know everything is going well! In the same way, I appreciate clarity in the instructions parents can give me. Every child is different so I know I need time to get to know them and for them to get to know me. That's why I am patient with the process and open to learn quickly. I am ready to start mid February. First language Spanish but fluent in English.
