For Your Child

(2)
January 2024 Hello, I'm excited to care for the most wonderful child or children. As you see from my reviews and bio, I have Babysitting/Nanny/Pet Care/ &Senior Care experience. I babysat a 3-month-old summer (2017) in Baltimore. He spent his 1st few weeks after being born, in the NICU. So, it was a joy to babysit him. In 2017 I also assisted a special needs teen by picking him up from the bus stop and assisting him with his dinner and making him laugh! I was a Nanny (in 2010) for 2 energetic elementary age boys. I assisted them to get ready for school, walked them to the bus and met them at the bus stop; meal prep; homework assistance. I've been a caregiver for a young man with cerebral palsy for many years as needed. I've worked over 10 years experience as a babysitter. Rate $12 to $150. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Angela. I am a full-time salary nanny and have been with the same family for over 12 years. The children have grown and so I am looking to makes changes. I am considering working at a child development center here in Las Vegas and possibly doing evening and weekend child care, or if I find the right family again becoming their nanny. I am happily married and have a 17 mo daughter named Madison. I have a lot of experience with children of all ages and great references. I have a great background and driving record. I have experience with children with food allergies, severe asthma, as well as autism. I have taken college courses as well, including infancy. I am very loving and nurturing and enjoy being around children. I do have experience with twins, and have previously worked in infant rooms in child development centers. I have had the boys I am currently a Nanny for while there parents attend law conferences, seminars, and while they take cruises or vacations- for weeks at a time. I adore children and love watching them learn and grow. I love being around children, it's my passion. I am also thinking about offering overnight care, at my house as well. I have many references. I am very reliable and trustworthy. My 17 mo old LOVES other children as she is a only child. I may be just what you are looking for! (Please tell me more about your family and your needs.)

Angela has been an integral part of our son's life, serving as his nanny from when he 6 weeks old to six years old. During these critical years, she went above and beyond - working around our hectic schedules, offering to help in any way, and taking him on nights, weekends, and unexpectedly if other plans fell through. I don't have a family member as reliable, kind and close to my son as Angie. She is 100% on time and dependable. One outstanding trait of Angela is how she talks to children, helping them figure out their issues, hearing their feelings. In watching her work with my son, I learned to be more patient and understanding. This created a loving environment for B. which cannot be understated. Angie is firm with kids and sets boundaries, and has many tools to help them overcome moments where they feel out of control. I am a better parent because of her. I highly recommend Angie. She was a calm, reassuring presence during a time of significant transitions in our lives.

I was a foster mother for seven years for 20 plus kids ranging in ages from infants to teenagers. I am an avid outdoors man, going on 5 miles walks daily. When I am with children we are outside if the weather permits. I live a healthy lifestyle and love pets.

Chrissy has been our nanny for over a year. She started out caring for my toddler son, and now cares for both him and my 5-month-old son. She loves my boys as much as I do. She has shown nothing but love and devotion to our family. My sons both light up when they see her and often ask where she is when she's not here. Because of her, my older son has learned his alphabet and can count. She spends important "lesson" time each day with him making sure he practices what he learns. She is patient and kind while interacting with them. She cares deeply for their well-being and I trust her wholeheartedly. She helps raise my babies, and helps our entire family by helping with our housework. It's a blessing to have someone there for you in this way. She's a support I couldn't have lived without during my pregnancy. She is a wonderful nanny and friend, and I highly recommend her... but not for the days she's with us!!

Brenda is a wonderful, caring, dedicated, loving care giver. She worked in the infant room at my child care center and cared for 4 children ages 6 weeks - 1 year old. She was always interacting with the children and seeing to every one of their needs. She enjoys talking with them, singing to them, reading books to them, and snuggling them and the children love it too. If she lived closer to us, I would rehire her again in a second!

I was raised in a household where caring for children was a part of everyday life, instilling in me the values of attentiveness and compassion from a young age. I am capable of meal prep and ensuring your child never has a dull moment in my care. I speak fluent Spanish and English and would love to have the opportunity to teach your child some new skills. I like working with kids because each child has a unique way of thinking and every moment is entertaining in itself.

Stephanie is an amazing care giver. She cares for just about everyone ! My daughter was really happy being with her during the months of August and September while we were awaiting a daycare spot. She focused on good nutrition, development, good routines and made my child feel loved and cared for. Her face would light up every time she saw her. She also bonded with my pup who really loved having her around. In addition, Stephanie helped with so many little things - just with Kids laundry, cleaning her toys, vacuuming spaces she was in or picking up the dishes. That made me feel cared for and wasn't something I expected of her. We look forward to date night every week and I always feel calm and collected leaving my kid and pup with her. Would recommend in a heartbeat !

When it comes to taking care of your child or children, experience and safety count! Do you just need a pick-up or drop-off? Have a sick child in daycare or school and have nobody to pick them up? I accept those that are medically needy or not, mental health or behavioral issues, or even just covering for parents taking some needed needed "me time".

My son went to Brainiacs for Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4. Then he graduated from the program and went to Kindergarten in another school district. I had a parent conference with his new Kindergarten teacher, and she informed me that my son was more than ready for Kindergarten. I told her that his former preschool, Brainiacs, deserved most of the credit. His preschool teacher, Mrs. Stephanie, did an excellent job of giving him an early head start and the foundation he needed to succeed in school and later in life. The director, Mrs. Gennaia James, is an amazing person. She provides a program that offers an educational and fun learning environment for all of the children. She has an open-door policy. This made me feel more comfortable knowing that I could stop in at any given time and check on my child.

FAQs for finding child care near you

What is child care?
What child care looks like to one parent may differ from another, so there is no one child care definition. That being said, child care is a professional service that involves looking after children and ensuring their safety and wellbeing. Some parents may need to hire a child care provider to take care of their young children while they are at work for 40 hours a week, whereas some families may just need after school transportation and care. Other families may just need to hire the occasional babysitter on the weekend.
How can I find someone near me to provide child care for my kids?

The first step is to outline what you'd like from a candidate before starting your child care search. Think about how much you are willing to pay, the level of experience you wish them to have, if you want them to have any first-aid certifications, and if you need them to handle additional duties beyond taking care of your kids.

After this is completed, create an account on Care.com and answer a few questions to find child care providers that match your needs. You can then either post a job that can be seen by our extensive pool of caretakers, or search for child care providers on Care.com based on years of experience, hourly rate, availability, distance from your area, etc. After you have selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, request additional background checks, and hire the child care provider that best meets the needs of your family.

What interview questions should I ask a child care provider near me?
You want to find a child care provider that will get along with your kids, but also follows many of the same parenting ideas you have. Structure your questions around how your kids behave in certain situations and what the provider thinks is the best action to take. Finally, ask each provider about their past child care experience, references from other families near you and if they are certified in first aid and CPR. You can visit the Care.com Safety Center to learn more.
How much does child care cost near me?
The average rate for child care services on Care.com as of April, 2024 is $18.75 per hour. This rate will fluctuate depending on your location, how much experience the child care provider has and the number of children to be watched. Other factors that may also influence the rate include the need for additional child care duties and any specialized care needs you have, such as overnight care.
