Alejandra F.

I’m a college graduate who’s willing to 2-40 mile drives to take care of the kids. I have experience with infants, special needs children, toddlers, and elementary-middle school children. I also cared for my younger brother from an infant up to eight years as my mother was a single mom and needed help. I have great skills with children and use a gentle approach when communicating. I understand leaving your children with someone who can keep them safe and be reliable is important so if more information regarding my experience or absolutely anything is needed, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking :)

I recently booked Alejandra to babysit my kids last minute due to an event I had to attend. She quickly responded to messages on the site, and answered my many questions during the quick interview. Alejandra arrived on time and got my kids to feel comfortable with her very quickly. Updates were sent throug texts, and she even got my little one down to bed earlier than I anticipated. My oldest was very happy and said she would love to have Alejandra as a baby sitter again. Overall - 5 stars! Thank you, Alejandra!

Hi there! I’m Vanessa, though most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 27 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as both a nanny and babysitter through various childcare companies, along with hands-on experience in daycare settings and as a substitute teacher. I originally began my studies in Elementary Education, but quickly realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support to each child. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals, developmental progress, and emotional support in a compassionate and nurturing way. I’m known for being patient, creative, detail-oriented, and someone who truly values transparency and communication with families. I also love incorporating arts & crafts, engaging activities, and positive experiences into the time I spend with children. I would love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and become a positive, dependable part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you’d like references!

Caring for others is something that I have done all of my life. I worked as a home health aide for over thirty years helping both the elderly and children in my role. This included in the home and clinic settings for those who were medically fragile, neurotypical and non-neurotypical individuals. Outside of three children of my own (four if you include my husband), I have cared for over one hundred individuals with about half of those being children. I have my first aide and CPR certification, I am patient, timely, cook, clean, run errands, change diapers, potty train, manage behaviors and is a strong communicator. I take pride in my craft and can ensure the safety and well-being of your child/children. Thank you.
