Shamaine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shamaine and I’m a warm, energetic, and nurturing caregiver with a passion for creating safe, fun, and engaging environments for children. I come from a background in hospitality management which means I’m naturally detail-oriented, patient, and great at multitasking.. I’m known for being creative, responsible, and dependable, with a playful spirit that kids love. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, tidying up, bedtime routines, and keeping things in order while you’re away. I’d love to be a reliable helping hand for your family and a positive role model for your kids!

Gilda $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Potomac, MD

Warm, dependable nanny based in the DC Metro area with a strong track record of caring for both infants and school-aged children. Bringing decades of leadership experience in architecture and operations management in Venezuela, I offer families a highly organized, calm, and nurturing presence. Since relocating to the U.S. to be closer to my children, I have embraced childcare with dedication and joy. I am attentive to developmental milestones, provide age-appropriate educational play, and foster a safe, structured, and enriching environment. Fluent in Spanish, First Aid/CPR certified, and culturally sensitive, I offer families reliable support, clear communication, and a deeply caring approach to every child’s individual needs.

Colleen $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!
