Chanel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! As the oldest of two, I’ve grown up regularly caring for my younger sisters (ages 3 and 14), which has taught me to be exceptionally patient, responsible, and adaptable across different age groups. I am happy to help around the house with cooking, meal prep, and light cleaning. I also love pets and have a cat and a dog of my own! Please note that while I don't have my driver's license yet, I have reliable transportation to and from your home. I’m excited to support local families with dependable, attentive care!

Naika $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Naika, and I have over 8 years of babysitting experience. I grew up as the oldest of five siblings, so caring for children and being responsible for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m a very compassionate, patient, trustworthy, and dependable person, and I genuinely enjoy being around children. I have experience caring for children from infants and toddlers to teenagers. I’m comfortable helping with meals, naps, homework, playtime, routines, and keeping children entertained with fun and age-appropriate activities. I always make sure the children in my care feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’m also CPR experienced and understand how important it is to always stay attentive when caring for children. I’m someone who is hands-on and engaged. I enjoy playing with kids, reading, doing activities, and making sure they have a positive experience while they’re in my care. I’m also respectful of each family’s rules and routines and will always follow the parents’ instructions. I’m happy to clean up after the children, including toys, meals, and activities, and help keep their space neat and organized. I understand that having a babysitter should make things easier for parents, not create more work for them. Most importantly, I truly care about the children I look after. I know how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their kids, and I take that responsibility seriously. I would love the opportunity to provide your family with reliable, loving, and attentive care.

Carole $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable, compassionate, and highly experienced caregiver dedicated to providing exceptional care for children, families, and properties. My approach blends professionalism, intuition, and empathy to ensure that every household runs smoothly and every child feels safe, nurtured, and respected. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to teens — including those recovering from illness or needing extra attention and comfort when parents are working or away. While I am not a medical doctor, I’m confident and calm in managing basic care needs, administering medications under parental instruction, and maintaining detailed notes to keep families informed. I understand that every child has unique needs, and I take pride in creating a gentle, stable environment that fosters both healing and growth. In addition to childcare, I offer full home and property care. I ensure that homes are clean, organized, and secure, plants and pets are tended to, and daily routines continue without interruption. Whether you’re traveling, managing multiple residences, or just need an extra pair of hands, I bring a sense of order, warmth, and trustworthiness to every household I assist. My background includes experience in education, family support, and property management. Families describe me as attentive, resourceful, and kind-hearted — someone who treats their home and loved ones as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable with scheduling, errands, meal preparation, and light housekeeping, ensuring that the home environment is peaceful and welcoming. Whether you need help caring for your children, overseeing your property, or simply bringing calm and reliability into your home, I am here to help with a professional yet personal touch.
