Dorothea $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Dottie. I have many years of experience in the medical field. I have been a Nanny for families and truly loved it. I have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, school age also. My skills would include taking them to activities, meals, snacks, take/ pickup from school and activities after school sports, tumbling, swimming and more. One of my families I took their son's to Speech therapy weekly. I love to cook and have prepped meals for the family. Doing errands occasionally for the family. I would bring outdoor play, swimming, crafts, playing in the sand, bike riding, baking/ easy cooking skills to learn and more. Some of my clients have pets to be cared for daily. I have had many years caring for Seniors in the past 8-9 years. I'm available occasionally on weekends or over night so the parents have sometime alone. I would need notice to check my schedule, it's very possible. I have house sat, and cared for cats & dogs in the home. I love to teach small children to learn ABC's, and more for school as they grow and mature in fun ways. Learning can be fun. I do have reference letters, certificates for some of my occupations. Current CPR/first aid and all vaccines. With infants, newborns they will be diaper changed every 2-3 hr. as needed. Bottle feed when hungry, change clothing as needed when soiled, read stories, play. I'm CPR/first aid certified, all vaccines are current. Evening care is possible with notice or request. My contact info is Dottie Coad,[removed]

A little bit about me… My name is Chandler . I absolutely love children of all ages. I work at Kindercare as a preschool teacher part time. The summer hours have been slower, so I am looking for work. I also have years of experience working as a nanny. I am a fully qualified teacher and have received all of my college level credit childhood education credits. I am also a very creative person. I have also taken many college level art studio classes, so I enjoy doing fun and creative indoor/outdoor activities with children. Children bring me so much joy! I am also cpr/first aid certified.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
