Hi! My name is Justin and I’m an experienced caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education and professional management. I’m currently looking for part-time childcare opportunities, but I’m also open to discussing full-time positions if it’s the right fit! I’ve worked as both a lead classroom teacher and assistant teacher, caring for children as young as 6 weeks old up to 12 years. My experience includes everything from lesson planning and developmental tracking to potty training, safety protocols, and engaging children in meaningful play. I’ve always prioritized creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. In addition to my childcare experience, I’ve held leadership roles in management — most recently as a General Manager — which has made me highly dependable, organized, and excellent at multitasking. These roles have strengthened my communication skills and given me the ability to stay calm under pressure — all of which I bring into my work with families and children. Parents I’ve worked with appreciate my warm personality, professionalism, and genuine love for kids. I believe in open communication, positive discipline, and building a trusting relationship with both children and parents. I’d love to chat more to see how I can support your family’s needs!

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am a 46-year-old single mom to (promise no bias here!) a happy and even-tempered 3-year-old son. I understand some parents are doubtful of a nanny bringing their own little one to their childcare position. I assure you that your child will receive the same unconditional love my son does. I truly enjoy kids. Children are curious, fun, and open. It's so great to see them learning and embracing life. I have extensive life and paid experience with children from infancy to teen. I have been told I am patient, fun, and kind. I enjoy engaging kids in activities like reading, being outdoors, puzzles, games, arts & crafts, outings like museums & farmer's markets, etc. I am looking for a healthy family to build a long-standing relationship with. Excellent references and multiples experience! Superb driving record. First Aid/CPR/AED certified. A little about me: I am an avid reader, beach/anything water lover, fan of dogs, horticulture nerd, and enjoy daily walking/yoga/meditation. Thank you for your time!

Courtney is extremely thoughtful and highly reliable. Her communication is at par. It was easy to trust her with my four-year-old, who had a wonderful time with her. I am very sad she moved away, because it is hard to find somebody like her!

Hi, my name’s Ayana Amoja. I’m 23 and a current college junior. Throughout high school, I babysat elementary-age children. Furthermore, I worked at a private school working with kids ages 5-14 as well as a part-time nanny to 3 and 5-year-olds, ages 5-12 in a public school setting and with ages 2-5 at two different preschools. I have also been a nanny for an 18 month-year-old and a 1-year-old. I love working with kids. They have made such an impact on my life and I just hope I’ve done the same for them. My number one thing is safety and I will always prioritize the child’s needs.

My family was visiting from out of town for a wedding and hired Ayana to babysit our 3 yr old during the later end of the wedding in our hotel room. From the interview through the babysitting process, I was really appreciative of Ayana’s openness, experience, and flexibility. We hired her for the entire evening but for much of the evening we had her on “standby” in the hotel until we were ready to put our toddler to bed. She was patient and flexible while waiting for us and very friendly. Would definitely recommend her to others!

We were so incredibly lucky to have Nikole care for our infant son. From day one, she was attentive, gentle, and completely trustworthy. She handled feedings, naps, and playtime with so much care and confidence, which gave us real peace of mind. She was always punctual, communicative, and truly engaged with our son — not just watching him, but interacting, comforting, and helping him grow. It was clear how patient and nurturing she is, and our son was always calm and happy in her care. We highly recommend Nikole to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and capable nanny, especially for infants/toddlers.

Emily was amazing with our little girl! Our daughter took to her immediately and Emily was clearly very experienced and knew just how to handle a 3-year-old. Amazingly, she got our daughter to bed before 9PM which never happens for us! When our daughter woke up in the morning the first person she was asking for was Emily and it’s clear she really enjoyed her company. When we came home the play area was also tidied up which certainly is nice to come home to!! :)

She’s straight forward and positive. Couldn’t ask for anything more from a person taking care of your child. She helped us out as a night nanny and was absolutely wonderful with our newborn!
