Payton $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Payton and I'm currently working as an engineer full-time. I am looking to make some extra cash on the side and enjoy spending time with kids (and animals). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and worked full-time as a nanny for two summers for two awesome girls (4&6). I have also worked/volunteered as a soccer coach, in-school translator, and tutor. I can cook, help around the house and run errands where needed. I currently have cats and have previously had a dog and am more than happy to help with any animals.

Fostering children's growth and development is my true passion. Over the past two years, I have embraced the opportunity to make a positive impact on young lives through dedicated caregiving. I am a patient, calm, and creative professional who genuinely enjoys engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and board games. I hold First Aid Training certification and am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. Whether I am assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, or supervising swimming, I prioritize safety and fun. I value clear communication and will provide regular updates via text or in-person chats to keep you informed about your child's day.
