Temporary Nanny/Babysitter Household manager/ available until December 31st. full or part time. Long term and permanent availability will start March 15th 2026 Bio: Hello future families! I am an experienced Nanny for 23 years. I started my career as a preschool teacher working for our military in Germany. I was a lead teacher and planned field trips, wrote out curriculum development plans each week. After four years of being a preschool teacher, I moved on to working for families as a Nanny/Household manager. I have done this for several years and in between have been a substitute teacher for seven years and have been a sitter for afterschool kids four years. In 2022 I was a head camp counselor with fifteen five year old boys under my care along with having two teens as assistants. I provide great quality care and believe in less tv/ electronics and more use of imagination! educational games, and healthy outdoor play is where it is at in my book. :) I hope to meet you and provide a service that makes you feel that your child/children are with the best caregiver. I also do pet care as I am a big animal lover. PLEASE NOTE: I NO LONGER BABYSIT/NANNY FOR SMALL CHILDREN. MY AGES ARE NOW SCHOOL AGE AND UP.

Hi families! My name is Gisela, I’m 33 years old and an experienced babysitter who truly enjoys caring for children and supporting their well-being. I’m currently finishing my MIT certificate and studying Accounting, and I’m looking for babysitting opportunities starting August 15. Since I was young, I’ve cared for my younger siblings and later my nieces and nephews, which gave me a strong sense of responsibility and love for childcare. I also worked for three years with a single mother with a demanding job, where I was responsible for her children—preparing meals, supervising them, and taking them to activities. It was a very rewarding experience, and now I’m excited to offer my help to new families. I’m dependable, caring, and good with kids of all ages. I can assist with playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and homework. I have my own car and can travel to nearby areas. I also hold a valid Pediatric First Aid certificate to ensure safety at all times. If you need a trustworthy babysitter who truly cares, I’d love to connect and learn about your family’s needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! — Gisela
