I’m Nikol, a fun, energetic, organized and well certified person who loves both learning and teaching alike! I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified, licensed since she 16 with a clean driving record, am able to swim and have a Bachelor’s degree. I have nannied and babysat children between the ages of newborns to teens for the last 14 years. I love to help out in any way that I can and that includes babysitting. I was a full time nanny up until a few years ago and as of recently, I am doing part time sitting/vacation nannying in addition to my full time job as a flight attendant. I also currently help care for my 4 year old niece & 1 year old nephew on various days. I give my all to the children and families that I connect with and look forward to meeting new kiddos and sharing my fun stories, mediocre singing, crazy dancing and plenty of love with them! I am able to cook quick meals, do simple cleaning tasks, do laundry and run simple errands. If you have any questions regarding my profile, please don't hesitate to send a message my way! I would love to get to know your kiddos :) Thanks for your consideration! POLICIES: **Minimum Hours: I have a minimum 4 hour policy which means that I must be booked for at least 4 hours. If you'd like to book me for less, that is fine as long as I am still being paid for the full 4 hours. --------- I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when the parents come home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time, I expect 50% of payment agreed upon. If you cancel within 24 hours, I expect to receive 100% of the payment. **Emergencies: I am CPR & first aid certified. In the case of an emergency that I feel I am not equipped to handle (ex: severe allergic reaction, fire, medical emergency, etc..) I follow the following plan: 1. Do what I can to ensure child(rens) safety. 2. Call 911. 3. Call Parents. **Interviews: Initially I prefer phone interviews. If it is a working interview, I charge at my minimum rate of per child.

We had such an amazing experience with Nikol, our vacation nanny! From the moment she met our two daughter, she was patient, kind, and engaging. She made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear our daughter felt safe and happy. She kept our toddler entertained with fun activities while also being attentive to her needs and routine. Our daughter was in such caring and capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention she gave our little girl and would recommend her to any family looking for trustworthy, nurturing childcare. She truly made our vacation even more special!

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 children (both mid 20’s), from Eastern Europe and have been a nanny/household manager/chauffeur for over 25 years on and off. I enjoy being outdoors, singing songs and truly enjoy working with small children (I miss when mine were that age!). Most of my friends refer to me as the child whisperer because somehow I'm always able to make children laugh and smile. I look forward to finding new families to work with and can guarantee you that I will care for your children as if they were my own, as I do with all of the kids I care for. I’m currently looking for a family, preferably for afterschool care and am able to drive (my license is clean and I’ve been a driver for over 20 years). I am a great cook and do not mind cooking for your children. I also don't mind running simple errands and will do very light housework (picking up after kids/laundry). I can drive children in both my car or a parent’s car and am CPR certified. Policies: *I have a 4 hour work minimum policy which means that I must be booked and paid for at least 4 hours. I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when you are home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of scheduled start time I require 50% payment, 24 hours I require full payment. Please understand that my time is valuable and it's hard to book last minute work. Thank you!

Daniela is absolutely wonderful and very reliable! My son Josiah is 5 now and she has taken care of him multiple times since birth. She communicates with me effectively throughout the day and would ease my anxiety as a first time mom! She always engaged in educational activities, provided loving care, and managed Josiah’s routine with ease, and even though she wasn’t with us daily, every time she stepped in she was able to pick right up from where she left off. If she wasn’t already working full time, I would have snatched her up immediately! Your kids will love her and so will you!

Hi! My name is Shimaine, but you can call me Shi (pronounced like “shy”). I’m a loving, fun, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages. My journey started in middle school and high school, babysitting for families in my community. During undergrad, I worked for an on-call nanny agency, gaining even more hands-on experience with children of all ages. I later worked as a CNA and direct care provider, assisting individuals with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, and meal prep. When it comes to kids, I’m all about keeping them entertained and engaged. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or coming up with creative ways to make daily routines more fun. I understand that every child is different, and I know how to connect with them on their level. Currently, I’m a Registered Behavior Technician and working toward my Behavior Analyst certification, so I have plenty of experience with structure, positive reinforcement, and making learning fun. As a dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help in pet-friendly homes. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR certification, and a strong commitment to making life easier for families. Looking forward to helping out however I can!

I've worked with and highly recommend Shi as a babysitter! As an RBT, they have exceptional experience working with children, including those with diverse needs. Their patience, creativity, and ability to keep kids engaged make them a fantastic caregiver. Parents can trust that their children are in safe, capable, and caring hands!

Hello families! My name is Alyssa. I am 24 years old currently in Grad school for clinical mental health counseling. I work as a substitute teacher as well. I have been a nanny for another family for 4 years now. I am reliable, hard working, fun, energetic, patient, and loving. I love to plan fun activities for the kids and I to do together. I always go above and beyond. I have no problem organizing, doing kids laundry, tidying up, running errands or any of the household services you may need. I want to make your lives easier!

Alyssa was fantastic! She cared for our three kids (ages 2, 4, and 10) and handled the range of ages and needs with ease. She was incredibly attentive, engaged the kids in play, and kept us updated with great communication throughout the evening. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking her again for future date nights if she’s available!
