Genesis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Genesis. I am 25 years old and originally from Puerto Rico. I offer reliable and caring childcare services for families in need of a trustworthy babysitter. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. My background as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic strengthened my passion for working with children and supporting their growth and well being. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, reading, and helping with homework. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I look forward to helping care for your little ones!

Angelina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Angelina, a 20-year-old pre-nursing student at Valencia College. I’m also a part-time Nursing Assistant on a high-acuity floor at a major local hospital. I’m proud to be a President’s List recipient. I provide high-level safety, structured educational support, and warm, patient-centered care to babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to 10 years old. I have diverse experience, including managing care for the youngest children in a large busy family and supporting neurodivergent children with deep patience. My healthcare background has rigorously trained me in RQI BLS/CPR (Adult & Infant), emergency response, and strict safety protocols. I also have quarterly hands-on competency evaluations. I can provide an engaging caregiver to help keep kids on track with learning, specialized infant care, or peace of mind for a date night. I have my own reliable transportation and look forward to partnering with your family!
