daniella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tetiana. I have about 4 years of experience working as a nanny and caring for children in a safe, patient, and responsible way. I enjoy helping children with daily routines, playtime, meals, reading, creative activities, and light learning activities. I am calm, attentive, reliable, and organized. Families can count on me to follow instructions, keep children safe, and create a positive and comfortable environment. I have experience with childcare during the day, evenings, and weekends. I am also comfortable helping with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, tidying play areas, and keeping routines on schedule. I truly enjoy working with kids and supporting families when they need extra help.

“Me and my husband extremely happy with the care and dedication our nanny provides. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, always creating a safe and positive environment. Her ability to engage, teach, and support development has made a noticeable difference. We fully trust her and highly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.”
