Hi! My name is Isabel and I have been doing caretaking as a part time job for over 5 years now. I have experience from all age ranges and multiple kiddos at a time. I genuinely love to do this every so often as a way to connect with myself. It helps me be creative and kind, I appreciate that feeling the most. I understand the needs of a family very early on and am able to connect with children almost immediately. I am trustworthy, kind spirited, and approach things from a nurturing perspective. I have CPR training and worked as a RBT, I sometimes like to implement that training when it comes to behaviors. Overall, I believe in patience and love to take care of kids!

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm the oldest of 5 kids and have 2 adult kids of my own. I love working with children of all ages and have experience with special needs children and adults as well. I'm honest and trustworthy and children seem to love me as well. My friends call me the "Baby Whisperer" and say that I have a way with kids that is rare. I've worked with children for over 25 years and its the most rewarding work for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have been completely vaccinated against COVID-19. I'm looking forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds. We'll have a fun loving time and lots of smiles and giggles.

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.

Hello! I'm Ivonne, a professional nanny with about nine years of paid experience caring for children from newborns through preschool age. I've worked with families of all sizes, including caring for five children under the age of five, and I'm confident managing multiple children while providing attentive, individualized care. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and parenting preferences, and I strive to provide reliable, consistent care. I have reliable transportation, communicate well with both parents and children, and am comfortable administering prescribed medications when needed. My experience also includes caring for children with eczema, sensory processing disorders, allergies, and supporting sleep training. I value professionalism, dependability, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. References are available upon request. I look forward to learning more about your family's childcare needs and seeing if we'd be a great fit. Side note I don’t travel on vacation with families.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ivonne for taking care of my baby twice a week for the past six months. She is an amazing caregiver who went above and beyond to keep my baby happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether it was taking her to the park, drawing pictures, or reading to her, Ivonne always found ways to make my baby smile. I appreciated her reliability and knowledge of toddlers, which gave me peace of mind while I was working. I highly recommend Ivonne to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy babysitter.

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

Megan is great with our 1 year old son! Our son went right to her and they played the whole time she was watching him, you can tell he had fun! She is very responsive and showed great care for our son. We’re looking forward to having Megan watch him again.
