Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a mom of three and naturally good with people and pets of all ages. As a mom of three, I'm very comfortable with the real-life chaos that comes with kids, pets, schedules, messes, snacks, homework, and all the fun personality quirks that make a family unique. I'm reliable, patient, organized, and calm under pressure, but I'm also down to make blanket forts, do crafts, play outside, bake cookies, or just chill and watch a movie or read a book.

Ryah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm Ryah — a twenty-year-old student, sister, friend, and daughter, as well as a caring and dependable babysitter and nanny with over five years of experience working with children of all ages. Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting many families as a trusted babysitter, spending two years as a dedicated nanny, working as an assistant director for a preschool enrichment company, teaching fitness and yoga classes, and gaining two years of hands-on experience as a preschool teacher's aide. Alongside my professional experience, 1 am currently a third year college student pursuing a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist. Through these roles, I've developed a strong ability to balance fun and structure, encourage creativity, and respond calmly and confidently to the everyday moments that matter most. I love planning engaging activities, supporting learning through play, and helping children feel safe, heard, and valued. Whether it's assisting with homework, organizing crafts, playing games, or keeping daily routines on track, I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment for every child and family I work with. I believe communication/trust are the foundation of strong relationships with families, I strive to be someone both parents and children can rely on. I am CPR/First Aid certified (adjust if needed), attentive to individual needs, and always focused on maintaining a safe and supportive space. I would love the opportunity to bring my patience, energy, and genuine passion for working with children to your family, and to build meaningful, lasting connections along the way. I look forward to connecting with you!

Julia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Julia, and I am a licensed educator with a Master's degree in Education who is passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive. Over the past several years, I have worked as a nanny, an infant classroom teacher, and a middle school English teacher, giving me experience supporting children from infancy through adolescence. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading stories, singing songs, creating sensory activities, and following each child's interests while supporting their developmental milestones. I value consistency, patience, and open communication with parents, and I strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where children can build confidence and independence. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am comfortable with pets, and am looking for a long-term position with a family where I can build a meaningful relationship and become a trusted, dependable part of your child's life.
