I bring over 10 years of professional child care experience.Throughout my career, I have supported families in various capacities. I worked as a nanny (both live-in and out), house manager, and tutor for multiple families, providing care for children ranging from babies to pre-teens. My responsibilities included school pickups/drop-offs, homeschool learning, overnights, meal preparation, academic support, organizing playdates, mentorship, and general family assistance.Past families describe me as warm, intuitive, calm, and compassionate. I pride myself on creating engaging activities that encourage learning and developmental growth while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. Iβm currently self-employed and run my own small businesses from home, which gives me the flexibility to continue to take on additional work with families. Iβm open to both short-term and long-term opportunities, and Iβm happy to support families on an ongoing basis or step in for temporary help as needed. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating meaningful, supportive relationships with the families I assist. Whether it's helping with after-school routines, weekend care, or providing enriching activities during school breaks, I bring creativity, reliability, and a calm, attentive presence to every role.

Hi! Iβm Kelly, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and Iβve been passionate about caring for kids for as long as I can remember. I earned my bachelorβs degree in Biology from Saint Maryβs College of California, completed my masterβs in nursing at Columbia University, and Iβm currently pursuing my doctoral degree in nursing there as well. Throughout high school and college, I built years of childcare experience, including working as a nanny for the same wonderful family with four kids during my undergraduate years. I also have experience caring for children with autism through both babysitting and my nursing training. Iβm certified in CPR, BLS, ACLS, and PALS, so safety is always my top priority. I love creating fun, engaging activities for kids β whether itβs exploring outdoors, doing arts and crafts, or helping with homework β and I bring a caring, patient, and reliable approach to every family I work with.

Hi, Iβm Miss. Emily! Iβve always looked for opportunities to work with children and genuinely enjoy being around them. In my full time role as an urban planner, my work is often structured and fast paced, so I really value the opportunity to spend time in a more playful, engaging environment where I can connect with kids and bring a positive, upbeat energy. I have extensive babysitting experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, including school pick ups, coordinating playdates and extracurricular activities, preparing meals, helping with homework, and managing nap and bedtime routines.Iβm primarily looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities such as date nights, after school care, or weekend help, and Iβm comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and responsibilities.Iβm someone kids tend to feel comfortable around pretty quickly. Iβm naturally warm and attentive, and I enjoy keeping them engaged through outdoor time, crafts, and reading while adjusting my approach based on their personality. Iβve also stayed involved with children through volunteer work such as summer camps, mentoring, and tutoring, and previously worked part-time as a Spanish kindergarten teacher, which gave me hands on classroom experience. I value creating a fun, engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, cared for, and free to be themselves!
