Debbie $19 per hour for 1 child
Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
Maria $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Maria. I am 24 years old and looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. I have numerous years of babysitting experience. I’ve been babysitting on and off since 2019 (ages 6 months-5 years) I am currently a NICU nurse and I love my job. I work 3 12 hour shifts a week and have some extra time for babysitting. I’d love to take care of your little ones!🩷
Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child
I am a responsible and caring nanny. Spanish is my native language, and I understand English very well. I am currently improving my English speaking skills to become more fluent. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to my work. I respect parents’ instructions and routines, but I also like being proactive and bringing new ideas and activities that children can enjoy, including creative and hands-on play, not only technology-based activities. I enjoy seeing them learning, grow and the capacity to discover new things. I like to support their creativity providing a safe, caring and positive environment, where they can feel happy, confident and comfortable. A little about my personality: I can be quiet and reserved at first, but I am very sweet, caring, and enjoy building connections with children. I take my responsibilities seriously and always try to create a warm and positive environment for the families I work with. I also love animals, so I feel very comfortable in homes with pets.

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
