I am a 31 year old nanny originally from Colombia and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny and improving my English. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me it is a true passion. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment and bring patience, creativity, kindness, and positive energy into every home. With parents permission, I like to share my culture and teaching basic Spanish to children. I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. CPR certified and currently doing a postpartum doula course. Experience Highlights: • Aug 2021 – Apr 2023: Full-time nanny (newborn) • Apr 2023 – Jun 2024: Full-time nanny share ( 6 and 7 months old) • Jul 2024 – Apr 2025: Full-time nanny share ( 6 months old) • Jun 2025 – February 2026: Full-time nanny for twins ( 8 months old) • Apr 2026 – August 2026: Full-time nanny for a 3-year-old

Hi guys, I have my BSN in nursing currently studying for my license. I have babysat for over 7 years personally but worked with kids for 9 years since I worked in summer camps. EXPERIENCES: I have worked in clinical settings with children such as pediatrics and NICU. But I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD for over 4 years. I have also worked with children that have diabetes. I understand that patience, caring and love is key. I want each child to feel safe and have the space to grow. I am CPR certified and have availability throughout the day. I am also willing to do last minute bookings! During the last couple of months we have all needed a break, feel free to message me for a date night or when you need some extra help while working. I love playing board games and building buildings with connective blocks! I currently have experience with a 3 year-old. I am accustom to picking up the child from school and taking her to activities. I love encouraging children to be who they want to be. For instance, if a child wants to be creative or sporty we will either spend the day painting or go an adventure through the park. I have also had experience working with a 5 year old who was very active. I can range with different ages of children because I have experience of working with children in an urban environment. The children were able to explore nature and it’s beauty. I try my best to enforce the safest environment possible with both the child and the parent. I have worked with parents usually for the long term but am looking for occasional gigs. A fun fact about me is that I have played and taught basketball, tennis and was a volunteer soccer assistant with the ages groups of 7-13. I also love to play board games and carry an Uno deck of cards for when I babysit with older kids. Will gladly do phone interviews and in person interviews. I also drive so don’t mind staying out late if you needed extra time! Feel free to message me for same day jobs! Thank you for your time

Hi, my name is Crystal! I have a bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Family Therapy. Childcare has been my primary profession for the past 10+ years. I have experience with children of all ages but have mostly worked with 1-8 year olds. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I always make sure to ask parents about their parenting style, rules, and expectations so I can remain consistent with how they raise their children. I also prioritize communication with parents and guardians. I am warm, energetic, creative, and pay great attention to detail. Kids always love how silly I am with them, and I make sure that we have a great time. Despite my playful approach, I make sure children follow their parents’ rules and expectations.

I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!

“MK was so lovely and kind. She arrived on time, the kids really enjoyed playing with her and she went above and beyond by even tidying up a bit. Great babysitter, would absolutely hire again!”

Hi. My name is Lathisha and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I have worked with kids since I was 16 and have since worked as an after school teacher, teachers assistant as well as a head teacher. I’ve idone baby sitting as well. In June of 2025 i obtained my associate degree in Early childhood education. I love working with kids because of how rewarding it is- they teach me as much as I teach them! I also a mother to two beautiful baby girls and I understand how exciting it is to watch children learn and grow from both the parent and sitter perspectives! For any reason a booking gets cancelled or you come home early I still charge for the entire time. I also require cab fare back home once a booking ends after 11:00pm.
