Erica has been a great benefit to supporting our family's child care and transportation needs. Erica communicates well about her availability and checks in often if there is any concern she may have regarding our kid, sharing her insight and is not afraid to ask us questions. Over the course of a few weeks we've seen them become closer and our kiddo looks forward to spending time with Erica. We happily offer our recommendation if your needs align with Erica's schedule and ability. It is also worth noting Erica is open-minded, accepting, and a possible ally if you are seeking one so kind.

Maura M.
- 20 years paid experience
- 3 miles
I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City (where I graduated from Columbia University). Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, infants, and twins. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.

Maura has been a fantastic babysitter for our 5 and 18-month-old boys. They both instantly fell in love with her because she’s so great with them. She’s helped out with light housework (dishes and laundry) and even brought thoughtful, fun activities for our boys to do when she comes to be with them. She’s a great communicator and a kind, competent caregiver. As a teacher and former child care provider myself, I always say I’m picky because I want someone with my level of experience and skill to leave my kids with. Maura totally fits the bill and I never feel worried leaving my kids with her. We’re so glad we found her!

Angelica was an amazing nanny to our three month old baby girl and five year old boy. We were so sad to have to see her move from Texas as I know she will be missed by both of our kiddos. Being as both my husband and I are in the military, Angelica was truly understanding and available to help out with our kiddos. She was ALWAYS on time for the full four months, every single day without fail, which is invaluable nowadays. She is highly recommended for babies and kids of all ages. She is kind, caring and very patient.

Veronica was the most amazing caregiver! She was the ultimate professional and my daughter loved spending time with her each day. We needed a daytime companion for our special needs teen who could keep her occupied from 8-6 daily. Veronica filled the day with wonderful activities that engaged her both cognitively and creatively. She always provided daily updates complete with photos of their experiences and it was true peace of mind to see my daughter so happily cared for. Do not miss a chance to utilize her stellar services!
