Bianca $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! It's so nice to meet you. My name is Bianca, and I am a local babysitter with extensive experience in childcare, training, and education. I love children of all ages and use my energetic, creative, and soft skills to care for and educate them. My goal is to make your child feel safe, and given the opportunity, equip them for the world around. My experience includes working at Primrose Schools as a child educator, serving as a caretaker and student leader at a local church, and family babysitting. I have extensive references per request and my primary priority is clear communication between the parent/guardian and myself to ensure the best is given to your child. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely family!

Monica Lorena $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a very reliable, energetic and patient person. I'm originally from Colombia so my first language is Spanish but I know English. I have a lot of experience with kids. In my country I work as a teaching assistant for 3 years in a primary school, In USA I worked as an au pair for more than a year and for more than 4 years working for the same family with a neurodivergent kid. I have experience with kids from 6 months to 10 years and special needs kids too. I love kids and I feel very comfortable with them. Right now I’m looking for a nanny position in the morning since I’m going to school in the afternoon.

Alisi $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a licensed social worker currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for childcare. I have years of experience caring for children and was a full-time nanny before starting university. I’ve cared for children of different ages and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I also have nieces and a nephew who I absolutely adore, so spending time with children has always been a big part of my life. Through my professional experience, I’ve also had the opportunity to work with pediatric patients, which has given me additional experience understanding children’s individual needs, personalities, and emotions. I genuinely love working with children and would be happy to help with everything from playtime and activities to homework, meals, routines, and bedtime. My goal is always for both the child and parents to feel comfortable, safe, and confident in my care
