Chloe $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, future families! 😊 New on this app! My name is Chloe, and I’m 21 years old. I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who would love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier—whether you need a babysitter, house sitter, or an extra helping hand! I have over 3 years of experience working as a Special Needs Paraeducator and even my own personal experience where my brother has severe autism. I’ve developed lots of patience, responsibility, and experience caring for children with different needs. I’m also a licensed CNA and am just one class away from starting my journey toward becoming a Registered Nurse! 🩺 I’m excited to build relationships with families, earn your trust, and gain more experience in babysitting and house sitting. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your children and home are in caring and responsible hands. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see how I can help! 😊

Gwen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!
