Zaira $17 per hour for 1 child

Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!

Samantha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Samantha, or Samy for short! I'm a super caring and reliable sitter, and I honestly just love hanging out with kids. I've been babysitting for a few years now and would help my mom or family/friends with other kids while growing up, so I've gotten hands-on experience with all different ages, from little babies up to school-age kids. I know it's important to have some structure, but we always make sure we're having a blast too! My main goal is making sure the kids are comfortable and having the best time, so you, as parents can totally relax knowing they're in good hands. Families usually tell me I'm kind, really attentive, and super easy to communicate with. I truly enjoy being part of their day and making sure our time together is fun and positive!
