Xenia $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.

Azalia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Azalia and I am currently in my last semester of school. I am offering babysitting and dog-sitting services. I believe that I am great with kids and I enjoy creating a fun space for them. I have experience caring for toddlers between the ages of 3 and 6 years old and limited experience with caring for infants. I eventually want to become a child therapist after graduating from college, so having more experience with children would be amazing for me. I like to create fun activities for kids like creating art, playing games, just activities that would keep them busy! I have a BLS certification as well. I am very patient with kids, so I think my personality is perfect for babysitting!

Poliana 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Polly. I work in the film industry and also teach yoga in the early mornings. I own a small business where I lead children's yoga, Mommy & Me classes, and arts and crafts experiences designed to encourage creativity, confidence, and mindfulness. I'm a creative person who loves working with children and creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn and grow. For the past three and a half years, I've worked as a part-time nanny with multiple families from different backgrounds and have built strong, long-term relationships with them. I have excellent references available upon request. I'm comfortable with pets, have a clean driving record, and am a confident driver. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I'd love the opportunity to support your family :)

“Polly is a wonderful caregiver! She has cared for my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter many times and they absolutely adore her. Polly is able to adapt to their different interests and personalities perfectly. I highly recommend Polly, she’s a gem!”
