Emannuela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emannuela, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil, where I graduated in Early Childhood Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher for five years before moving to the United States. I have over seven years of full-time childcare experience in the U.S., including two years as an au pair in New York, caring for a baby from 3 months to 2 years old, and five years as a nanny in Maryland, looking after three wonderful children between 1 month and 8 years old. I truly enjoy being around kids, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment. I’m currently transitioning careers, but I still love connecting with families and offering occasional babysitting. I’m available after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day and night on weekends, and I’d be happy to help with date nights or special occasions. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for senior companionship, dog sitting, and running errands. Looking forward to speaking with you, Emannuela

Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

I have a ton of little cousins so I was the babysitter in my family growing up and have always been around kids of all ages, which is what got me into childcare in the beginning. Patients is key, in my opinion, and anything can be taught with both patients and determination. I grew up playing many different sports and think exercise is important but I my passion is reading and I love doing read alouds with the kids. It can surprise people how much some of the older kids appreciate being read to.
