$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tamarac, FL

Hi, I'm Farrah! I'm a current nursing student and I love caring for both kids and pets. I offer babysitting and pet sitting. Child care: I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teens. With little ones, I focus on feeding, naps, diaper changes, and keeping them safe and happy. With older kids, I love coloring, playing games, and helping with homework. I also enjoy cooking and can make simple, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Pet care: I have experience with dogs and cats. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and cuddles. (I'm comfortable with large dogs and pets that shed.) Safety and training: I'm BLS/CPR certified, and my nursing training helps me stay calm, pay attention to details, and respond quickly if anything comes up. I treat every child and pet like they're my own. I'd love to meet your family!

Camellia $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camellia! I’m a CPR and First Aid certified caregiver (pediatric and adult) with a strong background in infant and child care. Over the past year, I volunteered as a childcare assistant with IRIS in New Haven, CT, caring for children ranging from infants under 12 months up to age six. Coming from a large family myself, and as an aspiring MSW student focusing on pediatric therapy, I pride myself on providing safe, engaging, and attentive care. During the day, I work full-time in accounting, so my availability is open every weeknight starting at 6:00 PM and completely open on weekends.
