Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I grew up as the oldest of four, so nurturing and supporting little ones comes naturally to me. I’ve spent over five years working in youth development, served in my church’s kids ministry, and volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters throughout college—continuing my mentor relationship even after graduating. I love creating safe, fun, and meaningful experiences for children, and families can count on me to bring patience, responsibility, and joy to every interaction.

Hi, I’m excited to meet your family! 😊 Hi! I’m Chinenye, Chichi for short. I’m a nursing student who genuinely enjoys caring for and spending time with children. I’m looking to take on occasional babysitting opportunities that fit around my school schedule. I’m experienced in being patient and attentive to each child’s needs, prepping simple meals, engaging in playtime, and making sure kids stay safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I also enjoy reading, crafting, helping with homework, going outside, or just having a calm time with them and I'm happy to follow each family's routines and preferences as I know every child and family is different. I’m dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with, and will always do my best to make sure you feel comfortable and confident while your child is in my care. Currently, I’m mainly interested in occasional babysitting, date nights, evenings, or part-time opportunities as this works well with my school schedule. I’d love the chance to meet your family and become a trusted person you can call when you need an extra helping hand!

“Chichi took great care of my kids, 5 and 9. My daughter enjoyed playing games and doing her doll's hair together. Chichi helped them with dinner, showers, and the bedtime routine. I would definitely hire her again.”
