Marah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents, I am 36yrs with 10+ years experience with children/pets. I have been working with kids since I was 14 years old and it is a huge passion of mine. I am looking forward to jumping back in for a while. I am a firm believer in routine, consistency, and creating an environment to thrive and learn. I know some American ASL, and I have a Montessori approach to the way I go about working with kids. I mainly prefer to work with infants and toddlers, but I have experience in all age ranges. I am comfortable with all traditional nanny duties, transporting children, house management/organization, elderly assistance, and pet sitting. I also have experience with special needs children including high anxiety, speech delay, autism and ADHD needs.

Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
