I am organized, reliable, fun and loving. I am a certified K-8 teacher, have taught and nannied for early childhood education and am CPR certified. I have walked dogs and have housesat for families.

Hi there! My name is Miriam, I am a mom of 1 as of last year and I have experience with caring for my baby girl and also with nieces and nephews for the last couple of years. Hoping to find a loving family that I can work with while being able to bring my baby along. I’ve experienced first hand what it’s like trying to juggle childcare while working a full time job and also how hard it is to find someone caring enough to trust your babies with. I would love to put all of my time and effort to care for your babies, while bringing my baby along to help yours and my family thrive together.
I’ve worked with children, seniors, and animals in various settings over the years. I’ve taught English to children in foreign countries, worked at day cares, kids art booths, baby sat, worked with seniors in hospice care. Growing up I helped take care of my grandmother. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have worked with exotic animals that were rescues.
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]
