Hello! My name is Brenda, and I am a certified elementary school teacher with over 13 years of experience working with children of all ages. I currently work as an ESOL teacher and coordinator, supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally every day. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and valued. Whether helping with homework, reading stories, planning fun activities, or maintaining bedtime routines, I strive to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind. Families describe me as patient, responsible, attentive, and energetic. My background in education allows me to support children's learning while also making sure they have fun and feel cared for. I have experience with overnight care, multiple children, and working with diverse families.
Hi! I’m Anna, a responsible, kind-hearted caregiver with a deep love for children, animals, and creating a nurturing, engaging environment. Originally from Ukraine, I moved to the U.S. in my early twenties and have over a decade of professional experience in finance. Recently, I decided to take a meaningful break to focus on personal growth—and return to my roots in caregiving. From a young age, I helped raise my younger cousins and babysat children of all ages, even while working as a lifeguard during the summers. I believe in creating a safe, loving space where children can feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs. I’m also a lifelong animal lover—I grew up with two Rottweilers who were like family—and currently care for a cat and a chinchilla of my own. Pets always warm up to me, and I’m happy to assist with their care too! I’m available to help with school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and whatever else helps your day run smoothly. I’m calm, patient, trustworthy, and committed to being a reliable support for your family. Thank you for considering me—I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Warmly, Anna
Hi, my name is Sarah and I have 15 years of experience working with children, teens and people with disabilities. I also love to babysit my nieces and nephews. I am CPR certified and training in ABA/behavior therapy.
Hi! My name is Delfina and I’m 26 years old. I’m from Argentina and love teaching Spanish to kids! I’m about to start studying Early childhood development and looking to fill up some of my free hours between classes and my current part time nanny position. I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of kids of all ages -infants till teens. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I have my own car -clean driving record- and I’m willing to drive kids places if needed. I love spending time outside, going to the local library and doing fun things while babysitting! I’m okay with pets in the house and wouldn’t mind helping out with light household tasks if needed. If you think we can be a good match don’t doubt reaching out. Thank you!
I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!
