Isaly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Isaly, and I am an elementary educator with (over 20 years) experience teaching and supporting children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked with children across a variety of ages and backgrounds, including experience in social-emotional learning, literacy support, enrichment activities, and structured care. I’m known for being calm, dependable, nurturing, and highly attentive to children’s emotional and physical safety. As a teacher, I understand the importance of patience, communication, routines, and creating environments where children feel secure, engaged, and supported. I’m comfortable helping with: -Infant and child supervision -Bedtime and evening routines -Reading and homework support -Educational/play-based activities -Meal/snack preparation -Outdoor activities and active play -Light tidying related to child care Families often appreciate that I bring both professional educational experience and genuine warmth into the spaces I work in. Whether you need occasional babysitting, event support, summer help, or consistent care, I strive to be someone both parents and children feel comfortable with and can trust. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hi! My name is Krystyna. I have taken care of infants and toddlers for the past 13 years. I have been nannying for many families and have taken care of their little ones since they were infants. I do my best to keep them busy by taking them to museums, parks, libraries, classes and the zoo. I also worked for two baseball seasons for the Chicago White Sox. I’ve nannied in New Orleans, Dallas, and New York. I’m a certified Nurse Assistant and CPR certified. I have my own car so transportation isn't a problem. I’m available for part-time, last minute backup care and occasional sitting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. Hope to hear from you!

“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old daughter, Anna! From the moment she arrived, she was professional, kind, and put us at ease. Anna took to her right away, and as we were leaving, we could already hear squeals of joy, always a great sign! It was clear that Krystyna knows how to engage with little ones, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Anna was in great hands. We’ll definitely be asking her to come back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic babysitter.”
