Hi & Welcome to my profile! My name is Irene and I'm 37 years old. I have worked with children of all ages for about 19 years now. I also have several references. I truly enjoy working with kids and getting to know families. I'm also understanding of any specific rules or preferences parents or children have when they are with a babysitter. I also have lots of experience with families of different cultural backgrounds and life situations. I also have my own personal experience as well as professional experience within the adoption and foster care field. I have also worked with children with special needs before. I also prefer stable positions that match with my availability although I'm open to last minute positions as long as I'm available. I'm open to any questions and I hope to continue to meet families and be of help to them!

Hello and welcome! My name is Darieux, I’m a proud mother, grandmother, wife, and devoted Christian with a heart full of love and a home full of family. As a big sister and auntie to many, caregiving has always been more than a skill, it’s my calling. With over 20 years of hands on experience in nannying and babysitting, I’ve had the joy of nurturing children through every stage of early development. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds, including those with special needs, and I bring both personal and professional experience in adoption and foster care. I’m deeply respectful of each family’s unique values, routines, and preferences, and I’m known for being dependable, compassionate, and emotionally attuned to the children I care for. While I took time to successfully run my own seasonal business, my passion for childcare never faded. Now that my schedule has opened up days and some nights, I’m excited to return to what I love most: helping children grow in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting emotional development, and building strong relationships with families from all walks of life. Whether you’re looking for a stable, long term caregiver or someone reliable for last minute support, I’m here to help. I come highly recommended, and I’d be honored to treat your child like one of my own

Never worry about your loved ones while you are away or working. Parenting is already a stressful time, you don’t need the added worry of who is caring for your children. From me you will get that stress free, no worries, calming reassurance and comfort knowing your children are being well cared for and having fun with engaging age appropriate activities and education. Having been a nanny and childcare provider for over 15 years I have cared for children of all ages from newborn to age 15. I have various experience with multiples and am ok around household pets. I believe in letting a child be a child and having fun within boundaries and structur. I will make sure your child has the opportunity to experience what life is like through through the various stages of their youth while instilling positive values in themselves and respect for others. I have experience with adopted children, allergies as well as families who speak other languages and am able to quickly learn basic phrases for languages I may not understand.

I look younger than my age. I love children. I like to laugh and have fun but when I need to be stern I am that. I have 3 children of my own so I have a wealth of experience with children.

Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

Greeting Families, I am passionate about children. I am caring, energetic, diligent, and a dedicated person. I graduated with an degree in Early Childhood Development. I have come to the realization that every child is created in their own unique way. I have experience of caring for children over night, and overnight infant nursing care. The ranges of children that I have cared for is from newborn to high school. I come from a large family, so I know what it means to multitask and get the job done! I also have reliable transportation, and do not mind being around pets. Over the years, I have taught in a private school (kindergarten, first grade, second grade). I hope to provide you and your family care soon!
