Xitcali $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Xitclali or Lali whichever you prefer! I’m 24 years old and work as a Behavioral Aide for an elementary school. I’ve been working around kids for about 7 years. I absolutely love it! I am here to help with any homework needs or just to keep company and help around. I have also worked as a care taker for about 6 months. I can help with things around the house, errands and keep company. I am very friendly, respectful, responsible, empathetic, kind and fun! :)
Crystal $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm Crystal I’m a mother of two teenagers and have always loved working with children. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional in a school, supporting children from kindergarten through third grade. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for them. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching movies. As a babysitter, my goal is not only to care for your children but also to help parents feel confident, comfortable, and reassured while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I would treat your family with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!
“Noemi is amazing! From ages 9-16, Noemi babysat my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. Through the years, Noemi supported my brother in managing and completing daily routine tasks such as homework, daily hygiene, and creative outlets. Noemi was always very patient and a great communicator which supported my brother in reaching his interpersonal goals to be able to carry out meaningful conversations to build relationships. Noemi's passion for supporting other's can be seen and felt. I am so grateful to have had someone that truly values and cares for others care for my younger brother.”
Deborah $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Deborah Cohen and I would be happy to help out childcare and pet care. I have over 8 years experience taking care of children. I started off volunteering in my teens at my local church, taking care of multiple children of all ages. I eventually took care of a sweet little girl until she was 5 years old. I currently help out a family taking care of two boys. I enjoy being outside with kids, reading with them and playing games. I have experience with homework help, meal planning, baking, and doing crafts. I enjoy interacting with kids and I’m very patient. I also have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with animals and then was a pet sitter for my sister. I’ve done pet sitting for several years and have experience with dog walking, distributing medication, and feeding. I’m also open to house sitting. I look forward to helping out in any way
