Kasey $20 per hour for 1 child

I spent this past summer being a live in nanny for a NYC family with children of 3 month old boy, 6 year old boy, and 9 year old girl. Responsibilities included: overnight 24/7 care for the 3 month old baby, cooking meals for the family, keep the baby on a schedule with feedings and naps, laundry, driving the kids to sports camps, taking the kids on the bus to school in the city, playing games with the kid to keep them active and off technology, help as a family assistant for the parents. Before that I had a consistent family I nannied for at least 3 days a week during college. I started with the family when the little boy was 2 and the little girl was 3 months old. I was with them until she was 4 and he was 6. I kept them engaged in activities and learning as well as feedings and naps while the mom worked from home. It was so sad to say goodbye to them, they were like family to me. I also babysat for other families for date nights or weekend days. Ages ranges from 3 months to 10 years old. Before that I babysat at least once to three times a week during high school. I looked after children anywhere from one month old to 13 year olds. Responsibilities included: overnight stays, pick ups from school, drives to sport practices, chaperone playdates, cook meals, help with homework, take after dogs, drive family's car to activities, drop off and pickup from airport, and any household activities.

I was born and raised in Utah! I go to the university of Utah and I go to school Monday Wednesday and Friday just from 2-4. I used to nannie a little boy from 4 months till he was a year and a half. But I have little cousins that I used to baby sit all the time! I love babies and toddlers. I will have fun with the kids and do activities with them. I am reliable, I have a pretty open availability besides when I have school, I am patient, and my top priority is making sure the kids are safe and well taken care of:). I have lots of experience in taking care of pets! I was a dog/cat sitter for a lot of people for a couple years and i loved it! I also have a dog of my own that I take care of. I really enjoy cleaning as well. And would be happy to help with any chores or running errands that need to be done.

Alexis $20 per hour for 1 child

I was a nanny for a family of 3 beautiful baby girls. Olivia (3-6), Gabby (1-3), and Izzy (4 months-2) so I have plenty of experience with children. I also babysat for another family that has 3 children - two girls, one boy, same ages as the previous family. The third family I provide date night services for has two wonderful children - 9 year old boy and 5 year old baby girl. The fourth family I occasionally babysat for have 3 beautiful children - 5 year old girl, 2 year old baby boy, and 1 year old baby boy. Growing up I always wanted to watch my younger siblings and cousins and surround myself with babies. I have a giant heart so when I babysit I end up loving the children like they are my own and care about them tremendously. I would love the opportunity to meet your babies!

Mariah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m finishing up my last year of high school, with a part time job on the side. I’m 18 years old, and have been licensed for 2 years. I’m happily looking for more experience working with kids. My range age-wise in children is currently 3-8 years old, but I am also willing to watch older than that. Right now I occasionally babysit another family with 3 children, so I have skills with dealing than more than one child. I’m happy to engage and have fun with the children I currently sit! I’d love to put my full attention in participating in activities, from doing schoolwork, going out, teaching them new skills, to playing any game they come up with. I can adapt to different personalities and rules as well. If there’s any other requests you’d like met, I’ll make sure it gets completed!
