Winy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is winy and I’m from Colombia. I’m a English and Spanish teacher recently graduated and I’m currently living in Alexandria offering child care, pet care and household services. I have previous experience as baby sitter, since I was 15 years old I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and even teenager’s. I’d love children and enjoy having time for games, make different activities and having fun. I’m patient, responsable and creative person. In addition I have work before as a teacher back in my country with groups of different ages in classroom and outside environments. So helping with Spanish lessons will be also include as part of my service. I’m pet lover so I can definitely work with family’s with dogs or cats. I can drive, cook or do other tasks.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a Filipino single mom to an adorable 6-year-old boy, and I am currently seeking a daytime nanny position while he is at school. I have experience caring for infants and young children, and I pride myself on being patient and nurturing. I understand the importance of providing a supportive learning environment that encourages children to reach their milestones. When my son's custody is with his dad, I also work as a bartender in local restaurants, which has helped me build strong interpersonal skills and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I am studying cybersecurity, which showcases my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. I am dedicated to respecting each family's routine and approach to childcare, ensuring the well-being of the children I care for. I look forward to the opportunity to provide loving and attentive care while fostering an engaging and safe environment for your little ones! I would love to meet up in person and see how we can work things out. -Emily
