Lily $32 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I would say that I'm a dependable and caring caregiver with 6 years of nanny experience along with 2 years working in a daycare setting. I've cared for children of various ages, especially infants and toddlers, and I'm very comfortable with feeding routines, diaper changes, nap schedules, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. My daycare experience has also helped me develop strong skills in managing multiple children, staying organized, and keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building positive connections with the families I work with. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I always aim to provide reliable, consistent care that gives parents peace of mind. I'd love the opportunity to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family!

April $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m April and I’m an experienced pediatric RN here to help you find time to recharge while knowing your kiddos are safe, cared for, and having fun! I've worked with children from newborns to young adults as a pediatric and school nurse and babysitter. In addition, I've worked as a community RN supporting families during pregnancy and early childhood. I'm also a parent myself, so I know how much parents need time to themselves *and* how hard it is to trust anyone else with your kids. I'm certified in CPR/BLS and have extensive education in child development, allowing me to meet each child at their level. I prioritize communication and respect with both kids and parents, and I'm always happy to follow your lead. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and providing light housecleaning and meal prep.
