I have experience caring for children of all ages—from babies to teenagers. I’m a calm, patient, and reliable person who enjoys spending time with kids, supporting their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve helped with a variety of tasks like meal prep, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized. I try to adapt to each child’s needs, whether they need more attention, encouragement, or just someone to have fun with. I also have basic knowledge of first aid and try to stay alert and responsible at all times. I know how important communication with parents is, and I always do my best to follow their instructions and keep them informed. Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I always aim to create a positive and respectful environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.

Hi! My name is Ashley. I saw your post for babysitters. I'm 27 and grew up in the Northshore. I've been working with children since I was 14, babysitting for families in my neighborhood. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience with children ranging in age from 3 months to 15 years old. I've worked as a nanny, a swim instructor at Lifetime, and an ABA therapist supporting children and young adults with autism. These roles have taught me how to adapt to a variety of needs and personalities while staying patient, attentive, and nurturing. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I pride myself on being trustworthy, responsible, reliable, and creative. I truly care about each child's well-being and development, and I aim to support families in any way I can. Looking for part-time or babysitting job for mornings, as well as weekend sitter if needed!

Hi Parents! I am a SAHM of a wonderful 14 year old and 10 yr old.  I am looking for another child to start immediately for my home daycare. I would like to watch a small number of children so that I can spend a lot of time with each of them. I have several toys/educational activities for all ages. I'm not scared of messes!! I have experience with all age groups and multiple children in same age group. I only ask for the main holidays off, with a possible day off here or there with parents input first. I have my degree in elementary education and have worked in a corporate daycare center, as a nanny and ran a home daycare. I also have several references if interested. If you would like any more information, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!! 

Caring for children has always come naturally to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I love being a sitter because I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I do everything I can to help both children and parents feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or a challenging moment, I aim to bring calm, connection, and patience to every interaction. I was a nanny for over 5 years before transitioning into the healthcare field, where I most recently worked as a health care educator. Through both paths, one thing has always remained true: I love taking care of people. I am currently a full-time student enrolled in online courses and I’ve returned to part-time childcare. I’ve built strong relationships with families and continued with occasionally babysitting over the years. Date nights for parents are still important! I’m CPR certified and experienced with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My background in healthcare and education gives me a unique edge when it comes to attentiveness, safety, and developmental awareness. I bring a warm, grounded energy into the home, and I’m often told I’m the kind of sitter kids feel instantly comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, emotionally attuned, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I’d love to connect with your family!
