Presley $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been employed as a preschool teacher for just over a year now. I love what I do and working with children fulfills me in a way I had never experienced before, however as I approach my third trimester, the full time schedule has been rough on my body. I am CPR certified and have experience with children aged between 10 months and 4 years. I focus on developing creative and emotional skills with any child I work with. This includes sensory activities and art, especially in younger children. These can help foster positive thought processes when used appropriately. As far as discipline, I feel deeper action is the responsibility of the parent though as a childcare provider there are times I may need to act to protect a child. I would never approach these situations with a physical solution but rather through redirection and open communication. A moment to calm their bodies either on their own or through guided breathes when possible can bring an independence to their emotional awareness and build trust between the child and myself. As for pet care, I have owned cats independently my entire adult life. Caring for cats with different temperaments and personalities. I’ve always had a love for them and as a high schooler I had even volunteered at a cat hospital mostly providing company to help them adjust socially as I wasn’t yet of age to provide heavier care. I am capable of providing my own transportation within the city of Las Vegas and pride myself on reliability.

Phina $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a senior at Faith Lutheran High School and a student-athlete on the track team. I’m responsible, patient, and great with kids of all ages. I’ve helped care for younger family members for years, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and entertained. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, following routines, and keeping the house tidy. I bring a positive attitude, good communication, and a calm, dependable presence. I’d love the chance to help your family and provide reliable, caring support whenever you need it.

I have over 10+ years experience in care giver work it's what I love to do! Making sure that others are ok makes me happy. Children and elderly people love me. I'm very skilled at interacting with them and enjoy finding fun activities to keep them occupied.

“Chantal was wonderful with our son. She is patient and kind and played soccer with him.”

Noelle $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and over 12 years of childcare experience. I began my career working in a daycare setting, where I gained valuable experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages. From there, I transitioned into nannying and have worked with a variety of wonderful families throughout the Las Vegas Valley. My most recent long-term nanny position lasted five years with the same family, caring for their child from early childhood until he began school. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child in my care. In addition to nannying, I have provided babysitting services for hundreds of families over the years, including date nights, special events, and recurring care. I have experience with children ranging from newborns to middle school age and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with each child. My caregiving style is very hands-on, and I love keeping children active and engaged through games, outdoor play, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and other age-appropriate activities. I believe childhood should be filled with creativity, learning, and fun, and I always strive to provide a positive, dependable, and caring experience for both children and their families.

Madison $17 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has been a big part of my life for years, especially babies and young children. Much of my experience comes from helping care for my two younger brothers throughout their childhoods, as well as babysitting relatives and family friends. These experiences helped me build strong skills with routines, emotional support, and everyday childcare needs. I take a patient, caring approach and focus on helping children feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I also worked as a student aide for special needs students during high school, which taught me adaptability, compassion, and how to support each child’s unique needs. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college to study Social Work. I currently work with a family caring for their twins, but I mainly look for one-time, date-night, weekend, and as-needed babysitting opportunities. I have reliable transportation through family support and rideshare services and am working toward getting my driver’s license. I’m also happy to help with homework and light child-related housekeeping. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in the children and families I work with. Feel free to ask any questions; I’d love to talk! 💛
