Madelyn West Palm Beach
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Madelyn, and I'm a freshman at Palm Beach Atlantic University. I moved to the area on August 14th and I'm excited to connect with families here! I've been babysitting consistently since I was 15 and have cared for kids ages 1 to 13. I'm mainly looking for date night or weekend care opportunities. If you'd like references, feel free to DM me-I'd be happy to share them! Since I have a bike for transportation, I'm hoping to find jobs local to me. A little about me: I'm studying Finance and Ministry, I love being outdoors, and I'll be competing as a track athlete at PBA this spring. Because of that commitment, parents should know that my schedule may sometimes be limited due to training and meets, but I always do my best to communicate clearly and plan ahead. I'm very outgoing, social, and responsible, and I'm also planning to get my CPR certification while living in West Palm Beach. I'd love to connect, so don't hesitate to reach out! I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them has always been something that brings me a lot of joy! While I'm a little allergic to cats, I'm happy to take allergy medication if needed so it doesn't get in the way of providing great care. I recently moved to West Palm Beach and have really been missing my dogs back home, which makes me even more excited for the chance to spend time with some furry friends here. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'd love the opportunity to help out and give your pets lots of love and attention!

Mariana North Palm Beach
$25 per hour for 1 child

I'm passionate about nurturing young minds and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. My patient and friendly nature, coupled with my creativity and imagination, allows me to connect with children and make learning an enjoyable experience. I strongly believe in open communication with parents and keep them updated on their child's day and any matters that arise. I adapt my caregiving style to complement the household rules set by the parents. From engaging in outdoor sports to playing board games and puzzles, I enjoy a variety of activities that cater to children's interests and promote their holistic development. With three years of experience caring for children between the ages of one and 11, and my fluency in both English and Portuguese, I'm confident in my ability to provide reliable and high-quality childcare. I have a graduate degree and reliable transportation, allowing me to cater to families' needs effectively.
