I have over nine years of childcare experience in private households in the U.S. and internationally, including long-term nannying and a live-in au pair role in Italy during a semester abroad.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isadora, and I’m currently a college student. I’ve always had a strong connection with childcare, especially from growing up helping raise my two younger siblings. I spent years taking care of them and their friends, planning activities, helping with homework, cooking meals, and keeping everything clean and organized, so being around kids feels very natural to me.
Back home, I was essentially their go-to nanny, and that experience taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and cared for.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isabel 🤍

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with years of hands-on experience. I’ve been surrounded by children my whole life and have helped care for kids since I was 14, including my 7 nieces and nephews. Being around children truly makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

I’ve had my driver’s license for almost 5 years with a completely clean record, and I’m very comfortable driving long distances. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities.

I’m currently in college and taking my classes online, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and fully dedicate my time to the families I work with.

I’m also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and pets. I’m dependable, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to support your family.

I would love to be a positive, caring presence in your child’s life 💕
