Cassidy West Harrison
$10 per hour for 1 child

I worked at a daycare with age 7 month to a year and half, for a few months just while i was in between jobs and school. I LOVED it. wish I could’ve stayed, just did not pay enough. I am not in school, I do drive, and I honestly love to clean while the kids are sleep. so if housework/errands are needed don’t be afraid to ask :) I can cook and semi tutor ( excluding math, my worst subject ) but can always give it a try! I love going outside, doing actives for the season, and cooking

Hello! My name is Daelynn I am 18 years old, and I am looking for part time opportunities for any needs! In my current job I care for two sweet children tues-thurs with very occasional mon/fri. In this job I make meals, do school pickups, laundry, housecleaning, and other needs the family asks of that week. With this availability It has been hard to find a second job, but I knew I wanted to do something of the same sort. Along with this job I have also had experience in lifeguarding/swim instructing children aged 6 mo- 8 yr. In this job I underwent cpr as well as first aid training. Before working with children, in highschool I worked in retail at ulta, as well as hosting at texas roadhouse. I have a 1 1/2 year old energetic mixed breed german shepard named Sage. Taking care/ providing all needs for an animal at 18 has shown me a lot of responsibility as well as a lot more knowledge in caring for, and understanding each animal.

With that I have always had a want to provide comfort to others like them, so I enjoy being company to almost anyone animals, elderly, and children all included!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a 24-year-old dependable, compassionate, and energetic caregiver with over 12 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and have had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to older children. I also have experience caring for a child with autism, which has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love working with children and strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging kids through creative play, outdoor activities, reading, arts and crafts, educational games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families through kindness, consistency, and open communication. In addition to childcare, I have three years of experience dog sitting for my sister, ensuring her pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while she was away. I also have experience house sitting for a three-week period, where I responsibly maintained the home, cared for the property, and handled daily tasks. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help care for them as part of your family’s routine. I’m highly organized, responsible, and dependable. I can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, maintaining daily routines, diaper changes, potty training support, bedtime routines, homework help, and transportation when needed. I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, making it easy to assist with school drop-offs and pick-ups, appointments, extracurricular activities, or outings. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, nurturing, and dependable. I treat every child with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own family. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe, caring, and supportive environment.
