Claire 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Claire & I've been a nanny for the last 20 years, working with 15 families & 24 kids between the ages of 8 weeks & 16 years. My favorite age to work with are toddlers-they're so curious & constantly learning! I strongly believe in teaching kids to express their feelings in healthy ways, while treating the others around them with kindness & respect. I'm enthusiastic about outdoor adventures, creative indoor activities, & learning through play! Pets are important members of families & I'm very animal friendly! However, I am allergic to cats & have a hard time working in homes especially with multiple cats &/or longhairs for extended periods.

“Claire is a warm and caring nanny! She is dependable and reliable. She cared for my children starting when they were newborns and is still a trusted adult for my 18 year old. She's wonderful with kids of any age and very patient with kids who have high needs (like my neurodivergent youngest child).”

Valerie $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and caring college student with several years of hands-on experience caring for children and pets. I am a pet owner myself, of my little nanobanano so I understand the importance of caring for animals. For the past six years, I have taken care of two neighbor children, starting when they were 6 and 11 years old. Over this time, I supported them with daily supervision, homework help and tutoring. This experience has taught me responsibility and how to adapt to different personalities and needs as children grow. I am patient and organized, with strong communication skills and a calm approach in challenging situations. I am comfortable helping with light household tasks, routines, and educational support. I genuinely enjoy caring for others and take pride in being always in a positive and enthusiastic mode. As a college student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility to my caregiving work :)

Alli $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alli, and I'm an experienced and caring nanny looking for a new family to work with. I have about 3 years of experience, mainly working with younger children and infants, so I'm very comfortable with newborn care, feeding schedules, diapering, and creating a calm, safe environment. I truly love working with kids and helping them grow through those early stages. I'm patient, reliable, and always focused on making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am CPR certified and have EMT training, so safety is always a top priority for me. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with whatever your family needs. I'd love to connect and see if I'd be a great fit for your family!
