Margarita $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a very extraverted, fun, loving, caring, welcoming, outgoing, and faith filled mother of 5 children. I have 29 years of experience in taking care of kids. I currently am taking care of a 5 year old boy and have been taking care of him since he was 2. I spend time playing with him, singing with him, making crafts with him, and make sure the time he spends with me is a fun one! I personally potty trained him, and my current responsibilities are to feed, clothe, and bathe him. I have taken him with me to do outdoor activities and can keep a very watchful eye on kids. Before taking care of him I watched two other young boys from a married couple. I kept them very preoccupied with various activities. I was responsible for feeding them breakfast and lunch, as well as making sure to clothe them and making sure they went to the bathroom. Before I left the house I kept it very clean. I have a wide variety of cooking skills which makes it easier on parents to have their kids eat what they would like them to eat. If you're looking for someone to clean your home I am a very thorough cleaner. I am open to watching any small pets since I use to own a Cocker Spaniel Poodle and a cat. I am open to watching anyone that is elderly and perform basic tasks. I am willing to open up my home for watching anyone as well as travel to your home. Whatever is most convenient. If your looking for a mother's touch, that is definitely me.

Lauren $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I have a Master’s degree in Psychological Science from Tulane University. I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with the goal of working with children and families. My education has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and creating supportive, engaging environments for kids of all ages. I’ve worked with children in a variety of settings, including as a STEM Lab Leader and Literacy Tutor at GiGi’s Playhouse, where I support children with diverse learning and developmental needs. I’ve also provided one-on-one childcare for children with special needs, tailoring activities to each child’s strengths and interests while ensuring they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve volunteered with organizations that support children through education, mentorship, and enrichment programs. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely caring. I love planning fun, screen-free activities like crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and creative projects while always prioritizing each child’s safety and well-being. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel comfortable. I look forward to getting to know your family!
