Shaam $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shaam, and I bring over five years of hands-on experience as both a babysitter and pet sitter. I’m someone families can depend on calm under pressure, naturally nurturing, and highly organized. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, as well as family pets, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining structure and consistency. I recently earned my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in psychology and criminal justice, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills that I apply every day in caregiving. My background allows me to connect with children in meaningful ways, whether it's supporting their emotional needs, helping with homework, or simply being a positive, consistent presence in their day. Organization is one of my strongest traits. I’m excellent at creating smooth daily routines, planning educational and fun activities, managing multiple responsibilities, and keeping homes tidy and efficient. I’ve also coached and mentored youth in sports, which has strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to motivate and uplift others. Above all, I truly care. I show up with kindness, respect, and a willingness to support families however they need. Whether I’m helping a child with their bedtime routine, keeping pets active and happy, or maintaining a calm household environment, I always give my best. I’m here to make life easier and more joyful for the families I work with

daniella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.
