Vianca $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Vianca, a warm, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, and I’m comfortable helping with their daily routines, including meals, diaper changes, naps, bath time, bedtime, and keeping them engaged and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and I always want children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy reading, playing, doing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, and taking trips to the park or library when appropriate. I understand that every child and family has their own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and adapt to what works best for your family. My goal is for parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands. I’m currently looking for occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to meet your family.

Whether we're kicking a soccer ball around or diving into a fun activity, I’m here to help your little ones grow and shine.

Sarala $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarala! Right now I am looking for summer babysitting jobs before I head off to college. I am mainly looking for part-time child care work, but I am also able to run errands and drive children. I am extremely organized and can do "mothers helper" tasks to make your house run smoothly. I have extensive experience with kids. My previous jobs with kids include being a babysitter, a nanny, an assistant teacher at a preschool and a camp counselor. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include art projects, baking, and going to the park. I have my own dog and am super comfortable around them. I have experience with dog walking as well.

Jaimi $30 per hour for 1 child

With over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I also have my own 13yo. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I will carefully follow your household rules. I am happy to engage in board games, puzzles, legos, pretend play and outdoor games that promote learning and physical activity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular update, as requested. I am CPR and First Aid certified, formerly a Red Cross volunteer. I am an active community volunteer at my child's school and the library. I have a car and am comfortable with pets as we have a havapoo. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family.
