Hello! My name is Josefina, and I am a dedicated, compassionate, and highly experienced professional nanny with over 15 years of providing exceptional childcare to families of all ages. Caring for children has always been more than a career for me—it’s my passion. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Throughout my career, I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and multiples. I understand that every child is unique, and I tailor my approach to support each child’s developmental, emotional, and educational needs Whether it’s establishing routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, helping with homework, or encouraging social and emotional development, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care every day. I have experience working with busy professional families and understand the importance of being reliable, organized, flexible, and maintaining complete confidentiality I enjoy planning age\-appropriate educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping children build confidence, independence, and positive manners. I hold professional childcare certifications, including CPR and First Aid certification, and I remain committed to following the highest safety standards. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, patient, dependable, and nurturing\. I value open communication and work closely with parents to ensure consistency in routines, expectations, and childcare goals. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of a family’s support system and creating meaningful, lasting relationships while helping children reach their fullest potential.

Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. I have been in childcare for 20+ years and am well versed in behavioral, mental, and physical milestones. I have experience with all ages, including newborns, and am first aid and CPR certified. I am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. I have worked with children with behavioral issues, slower developmental development, as well as children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. For the family I currently work with, I do meal prep for the parents for the week, laundry, run errands, and all tasks involving the children (cooking their dinners, preparing their lunches, homework help, driving them around, etc.). I truly love being a nanny/sitter and working with children of all ages.

We feel so lucky to have Laila caring for our little one full-time. Being a mom of four herself, her experience shines through in every interaction, but she’s also wonderfully respectful of how we want to raise our child and follows our routines effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, kind, and always manages to get big smiles out of our baby. Any family would be lucky to have her!

We would definitely recommend Suzanne. We had her help out primarily with a one-year-old, while the parents were around but enjoying a big 40th birthday celebration. Suzanne kept the baby safe when he wanted to explore the pool and keeping him entertained so his parents could enjoy the weekend. She was patient and attentive, and really everything we needed. Thanks, Suzanne!

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Lisa has been a big help with my toddler while I work remotely. She is always readily available and arrives with a big smile. You can tell she truly enjoys teaching through play and caring for children. I know my child is safe and happy when they play together, and that makes me feel great.

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

We hired Micah as an occasional babysitter for our 2 year old daughter. We appreciate her prompt replies when we ask for help, and she is kind and playful with our child! She has a calm and trustworthy demeanor. We haven't needed the extra help lately, but when we do, she is on our list of sitters to call!
Cara C.

I’m an overnight infant and baby care specialist, providing overnight care full-time. My shifts typically begin around 9 PM and run through 6–7 AM, depending on your family’s needs. I do not work with contracts because, as a mom, I know you can’t predict exactly what your baby will need or how those needs will change over time. I’m extremely flexible and accommodating with last-minute added nights or day-of cancellations. I’m often with a newborn family for about 8 weeks, gradually phasing myself out as baby settles into a routine — hopefully with both baby and you sleeping through the night! I’m a mom to two toddlers and have 20+ years of consistent childcare experience. I stepped away from my career as a TV News Producer a few years ago to focus on raising my girls. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your baby, and I take that responsibility seriously. I consider myself an extension of you. I will mirror the way you choose to feed, care for and raise your baby, while giving you the relief and rest you deserve. My children are fully cared for while I’m working, so your child’s well-being is my only priority. I have certifications in newborn and infant care, clean background checks, wonderful references and a professional résumé available to share. It’s important to know who you’re trusting with your child. Feel free to request me on Instagram (@carasayssmile), and I’m happy to accept so you can get a glimpse into my life beyond this profile.

My son had lots of fun with Cara and is now asking when she will come back to play with him. He warmed up to her immediately, and she handled his mealtime and bedtime routine with ease. Highly recommend!!
