Tachet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Tachét I am writing to express my sincere interest in being considered for a Caregiver position with your organization. I am eager to begin working in a role where I can support others, make a positive difference in their daily lives, and continue to learn and grow professionally. I am a dependable, patient, compassionate, hardworking, and motivated individual who understands the importance of providing care with kindness, respect, and dignity. As a mother of three children, ages 4, 2, and 1, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, organization, communication, and meeting the individual needs of children. Caring for my own children has strengthened my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while managing daily routines and responsibilities. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have professional experience working with children through after-school programs and as a paraprofessional. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support children with their learning, development, daily activities, and individual needs. They have also taught me the importance of patience, understanding, teamwork, communication, and building positive relationships with the children in my care. I understand that working as a caregiver requires attentiveness, empathy, reliability, and the ability to build trusting relationships. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, providing encouragement and support, maintaining a safe environment, and following instructions carefully. I am also willing to learn from experienced professionals and continue developing my caregiving skills. My goal is to build a meaningful career in caregiving while helping those in my care feel safe, comfortable, respected, supported, and valued. I am committed to working hard, learning new skills, and providing compassionate and dependable care. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be considered for a caregiver position. Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience, qualifications, and how I can contribute to your organization and the individuals you serve.

Dzhanyl 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have 13 years of experience as a caregiver for children and elders. I can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. I am also open to evening and overnight elder care.

“Dzhanyl has been a wonderful nanny for our family for four years. She is extremely reliable, flexible, caring, and has 13 years of experience working as a nanny. I am looking for work in a different capacity: she would like to help families who need evening, overnight, and/or weekend care. She can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. She is also open to evening and overnight elder care, though we haven't employed her in that capacity. Dzhanyl began working with our family when our daughter was one year old in a part time capacity, and as our family has expanded to three kids (now 5, 3, and 1), so have her hours and responsibilities. In her current capacity, she primarily cares for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and occasionally for our 5-year-old. She is always eager to bring the kids outdoors to the park and playground, even if it’s rainy, snowy, or cold. She always shows up early for work, and has been very flexible to shift her schedule by the week to accommodate our calendars. She also helps with naptime, mealtime, pick ups and drop offs, and light housework. Additionally, she primarily speaks Russian to our children, but is comfortable speaking English if that’s preferred. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - happy to provide more on our experience.”

"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."

"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)."
