Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a full time office job but have free time in the evenings and weekends. I helped raise my sister while my parents worked since I was 13 so I do have experience just not professionally. I used to dog-sit for a couple of years before I moved back to my hometown.

Gabriela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – my name is Gabriela. I’m a college graduate and currently work part-time. I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve worked with toddlers and school-aged children through babysitting jobs, as an activities coordinator, after-school coach and as a Teacher’s Assistant. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, organizing fun activities, or handling school pick-ups, I love creating a safe and engaging environment where kids feel supported and cared for. In addition to child care, I’m experienced with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to help make your daily routine a little easier. Please let me know if you'd think we would be a good fit or if you have any questions!

Genessis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Genessis, Genny for short! I speak English and Spanish. I can help with homework for kids, I have been told I would make a great teacher although that is not what I am currently perusing as a career. I have no problem babysitting teens. I grew up as the oldest of 6 so I was constantly babysitting for my parents. I dont have too much experience with infants but I am confident in my ability to babysit them as well as toddlers to teens even older teens too. I have been told by my family and friends and my own siblings that I have a lot of patience. I like kids and I like taking care of them and from my experience kids tend to gravitate towards me. I am never opposed to playing games with or talking about the little things that they are into, I love all kinds of kid movies and shows, and I am very much used to hearing the same show or song or movie on repeat so can be very enjoyable and fun to be around for the little ones. I also have experience taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats. Although I do not mind learning about how to take care of other pets as well, I love most animals and I am not afraid of most animals or insects either. I am currently attending college so my schedule is a little bit weird. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day of course. Mondays and Wednesdays, I would be available from around 2pm to 11pm. Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays I will not be available until around 6pm to 11pm. I will be commuting to and from on the bus, I will always do my very best to be as early as possible to avoid being late. Of course there will sometimes be delays with the bus and all. If that occurs I will absolutely taking initiative to stay in contact if it does come down to that to let you know about my eta even if I am not late I would too. Depending on the day and time I will be sitting for you I might have to also do my own homework and assignments, it will not affect my ability to be sitting for you because that is my own responsibility just as babysitting for you will be my responsibility. However, I would just like you to keep in mind that you may find me bringing my laptop to complete my schoolwork especially since I do have online classes that require only fully online class work. I am happy to help out, clean, cook (although I only know a few dishes), and simply take care of the kiddos or pets and I cant wait to start babysitting and/or petsitting! :)

Cameron 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Cameron: a native Angeleno, University of New Orleans graduate, part-time screenwriter, and personal assistant/caregiver who truly loves helping folks (and their furry friends) feel seen and supported. I have years of experience dog-sitting pups of all temperaments, energy levels, and special medical/behavioral needs. No two doggos are the same and I take pride in adapting to each one’s unique routine. I also absolutely love animals so taking care of them is a win-win on all fronts. While I used to sit my little cousins, I recently became a godfather and now have experience babysitting the littlest of babies, too, meaning I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages with patience, structure, and a sense of fun. I do weekly in-home care for individuals with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of empathy, patience, and clear communication. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm also a trained personal assistant backed by years working in a high-intensity, high-demand TV show writers' room. In addition to the usual household assistant duties, I excel at managing schedules, arranging travel, running errands, and keeping spaces tidy and organized (thank you, diagnosed OCD). I can cook (quite well), clean, problem-solve with the best of them, and am lucky to have built up a long list of happy clients who would be even happier to vouch for me! Have any questions or need a bit more info? Don’t hesitate to reach out!

“Simply put, you will never find a more responsible human than Cameron. I've worked with him multiple times, and he has never failed to meet my exacting standards. He's reliable, professional, and also a truly kind human being. He's taken amazing care of our two dogs and our house on multiple occasions and always leave your abode spotless. Truly, you'll be lucky to get to work with him.”
