Teresa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm looking to take on sitter jobs this summer. I can help with: • Child care • Pet care • Household help Ages: I'm happy to babysit children ages 4 through the teen years. I also have my own car and can help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, sports practices, tutoring, errands, or other activities if needed. Grace Period: I understand that delays happen. If you arrive later than the agreed-upon time, I'll round your return time down to the previous half hour. For example, if we agree on 6:30 PM and you arrive at 6:59 PM, I'll still only charge through 6:30 PM, giving you up to a 29-minute grace period for traffic or other unexpected delays. I'm happy to work with families nearby. Feel free to message me with any questions or if you'd like to see if we'd be a good fit!

Jailah $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been caring for children for many years, starting by babysitting for family members and children in my community while I was growing up. Those experiences helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a genuine passion for working with kids. Today, I work as a Teacher Assistant with infants and toddlers, where I help create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children. I enjoy supporting their early development through play, learning activities, and positive encouragement. I've helped children practice drawing, recognize numbers, and build important early learning skills while making learning fun and age-appropriate. Families describe me as dependable, caring, and attentive. I understand that every child is unique, and I take the time to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. Whether it's keeping children entertained with creative activities, following daily routines, preparing simple meals, or helping with naps and learning, I always provide patient and reliable care. Caring for children isn't just a job to me it's something I truly enjoy. My combination of years of babysitting experience and professional experience working with infants and toddlers allows me to provide families with loving, dependable, and high-quality care they can feel confident in.

Carmen $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Carmen, and I am a passionate, loving, energetic, and experienced professional nanny with 12 years of childcare experience! Caring for children has been so much more than a career for me since 2014. It is truly something I love and take pride in every single day! My childcare background began at Corpus Christi School in Piedmont, where I worked as the After-School Care Director and later as a Kindergarten Assistant before transitioning into full-time nannying. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, structured, and stimulating environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I have extensive knowledge of childhood developmental milestones and enjoy incorporating age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive development, language acquisition, sensory exploration, motor skills, independence, and social-emotional growth. Beyond childcare, I understand the importance of providing families with reliability, consistency, open communication, and peace of mind. I strive to be someone parents can genuinely trust and depend on while creating a warm, positive environment for their little ones. One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been the lifelong relationships I’ve built with the families I’ve worked with. To me, nannying is so much more than simply showing up to work. It’s becoming a trusted, valued extension of a family. I still maintain close relationships with many of my previous families, and watching their children grow throughout the years has been one of my greatest joys! I am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and have an extensive list of wonderful references who would be more than happy to share their experiences working with me. I look forward to connecting with a wonderful family and hopefully becoming a special part of your little one’s journey!
