Hi! I am 21 years old and have over 6 years of childcare experience with ages 0-10, and the past 3 years have been primarily full-time. I am a friendly, creative, and patient caregiver who prioritizes child development and strong parent communication. While nannying, I enjoy playing outside, going for walks, reading, singing and dancing, and doing crafts, along with many other creative activities. I also have plenty of experience with meal prep, nap routines, homework help, and light household chores. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi! My name is Shylee, I'm a college student attending University of Nevada, Reno. I love kids and hope to continue working with them once I am done with my schooling. I previously worked at Cauglin Preschool, working with ages ranging from infants to five year olds. I have my own form of transportation and am available for light housekeeping, grocery shopping, errands, crafts with the little ones, really anything you might need.
Hi, my name is Rachel. I am a 37-year-old Italian mother of two (an 8-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl), I come from a large Italian family, plenty of experience with multitasking. I am ready to re-enter the workforce after spending the last 6 years as a full-time homemaker. As the primary provider for my children, I am motivated, dependable, and ready to work. I bring over 13 years of experience working with children from newborns through age 16. I also have nearly 16 years of experience as a caregiver in assisted living settings and providing care for family members. In addition, I have professional experience in housekeeping and cooking, including weekly meal prep tailored to specific dietary needs. I am very comfortable with animals of all kinds and enjoy working in homes with pets. I have reliable transportation and can commute in any type of weather. I have lived in Nevada for over 2 years and previously lived in Colorado, where I worked as a professional driver for about 6 years with a pilot car company supporting oversized loads. I also have hands-on construction experience from working in my father’s business. I am skilled at building, basic handyman tasks, and I am comfortable using computers and learning new systems. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, home, or business, I would love to connect. Please feel free to message me to set up a time to talk or meet. Thank you for your time and consideration.
My name is Rylee and I absolutely love working with children. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and could get my CPR/ first aide certification. I babysat for many families growing up, ranging from many different ages. I was also a lifeguard in high school and ran many different summer activities/ camps with kids. I do have my Bachelors degree in Public Health from UNR. I am very loving, organized, compassionate individual and would love the opportunity to babysit for you. My main priority would be tending to your children but am also happy to help with any additional needs such as cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, etc. The best way to contact me is [removed]
Hello, I am Hailey, I have been babysitting 3 boys (age 2, 4, and 4) and 4 girls (3, 4, 8, and 10). I began caring for my first family at the age of 14 when she was 3. I cared for her for 7 years, adding on her 3 siblings (girls) over the years as they have been born. My second family was a single grandmother with 2 grandchildren (boys 2 and 4). I cared for her grandchildren for her while she is at work. I also help care for her mother who is in hospice, however she moved out of state early last year. My third family has custody of her grandchild with her husband. I cared for their grandchild while grandma was at work while her husband was sleeping for his job. She retired and no longer needs care for her grandchild (boy 4). I worked with a 9 year old and a 6 year old for a few hours in the morning before taking them to school for almost 3 years. Occasionally I babysat for a family with a toddler and an 11 year old for about 2 years. I have done pick up and drop off, cleaning, laundry, errands, arts and crafts (jewelry, painting, coloring, dioramas, ect.), music (trumpet, guitar, drums, euphonium, baritone, tuba, French horn), help with homework, cooking and baking, bedtime routine, school routine, sports (football, baseball, and basketball), and more. I have done a few semesters at Skyline Community College in San Bruno.
“Hailey was amazing - she communicated, showed up on time and did the required assignments with no problem. Definitely a gold star!”
