Zulema $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I’ve taken care of up to three toddlers at the same time for several days, and I’m very comfortable managing different personalities and needs at once. Coming from a large family full of little ones, I’ve spent years helping raise and care for children in all stages, which has given me patience, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with kids quickly. I have a sweet-hearted and positive nature, and I always make it a priority to create a warm, safe, and joyful environment. I love engaging with children through singing, reading, imaginative play, and outdoor activities that keep them active and entertained. I enjoy being hands-on, present, and involved—never just supervising from the sidelines. Whether it’s helping a toddler explore their creativity, keeping up with energetic kids, or offering calm support to a newborn, I adapt easily to what each child needs. I’m also comfortable helping with cooking and meal prep, and I’m happy to support families with simple household routines that make their day a little easier. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is teaching through fun moments, and I can introduce Spanish naturally into play, songs, and conversation so children learn in a way that feels exciting and easy. Families describe me as dependable, kind, flexible, and someone who truly cares. I bring a great blend of patience, playfulness, and responsibility, and I take pride in creating an environment where children feel valued, supported, and happy. I’m committed to showing up with a great attitude, treating every child as if they were my own family, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their little ones are with me. I am open to long-term arrangements with one family and would love to build a consistent relationship where I can support your child’s growth over time. My best availability is all day on weekends and after 4 PM on Wednesdays. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, positive energy, and big-hearted care to your family.

Youn $25 per hour for 1 child

I have various experience with children from teaching after school enrichment to elementary school kids, to tutoring elementary through high school kids, to working summer camp, and babysitting over the years. I enjoy watching kids grow in creativity and character. I like to encourage children in their gifts. I like to work on children’s individualism. I also am a pet sitter and an auntie to many fur babies and kids. I am the friend that everybody asks to watch their pets while they’re out of town. I very much enjoy pets and children and have a lot of experience in both. I have my certification for Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I also have clearance to work at several schools in the area as part of my background check for the after school enrichment program. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss further. Schedule is pretty flexible and changing, so open to discuss. Thank you! Youn

Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)
