Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mia and I am 20 years old. I just earned my Associates Degree and am looking to continue my education in nursing. I am offering childcare and light household services. I currently work part time as a nursing assistant at Baptist Hospital in the postpartum unit, where I get to work with newborns and their families every day. I also have experience working at a summer camp with children ages 3–6, which I absolutely loved! I’m very patient, caring, and easygoing, and I love keeping kids entertained with fun activities, games, and crafts while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible and attentive, but I also want kids to feel like they can be themselves and have fun with me. I’d love to help make things easier for your family and make sure your little ones are taken care of.

Jeamy $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Jeamy! I'm a dedicated mom and dog lover with a deep passion for caring for others. Originally from the Dominican Republic, I have experience looking after my own daughter and pets, and I truly enjoy providing attentive, loving care. Currently, I work as a front desk supervisor, but I'm looking to do something extra—something I love and comes naturally to me: taking care of children and pets. When you trust me with your loved ones, they become part of my family too! What I Offer: Child Care: I have experience with kids of all ages and love engaging them in fun and educational activities like reading, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, and helping with homework. Pet Care: As a devoted dog mom of two, I understand the importance of proper care, whether it’s walking, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them plenty of love and playtime. Senior Companionship: While I don’t have formal experience in senior care, I’m eager to learn and provide companionship and support. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver for your child, pet, or loved one, I’d be happy to help!

I am a dedicated mother of three boys with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs.
