Laura $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Laura, a caring and responsible sitter who loves spending time with kids and helping them learn and have fun. I have experience with children of different ages — from babies to preteens — and enjoy reading, arts and crafts, dancing, and outdoor play. I can also help with homework, cooking simple meals, and keeping things organized. I love animals too and I’m happy to help with dogs or cats. I speak both English and Spanish, and families describe me as kind, patient, and reliable.

Hello , my name is Bella. I am a responsible college student with hands-on experience caring for young children. I began by caring for a relative’s child years ago during my high school years, and was later recommended to other families in my neighborhood. I also provide childcare at church events, supervising children and leading fun, structured activities. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe and positive environment. I can also assist with homework and light household tasks.

Hannah $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Hannah. I'm a young professional working in the non-profit legal space, and am currently saving up to go to law school. I'm offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby-sitting since I was 15 years old, and have cared for kids of all ages! I was also a camp counselor for 6 years, and primarily worked with kids ages 6-10. I have experience doing pickup/drop-off from school, crafts, tutoring, preparing meals, helping with potty-training, and much more. I love reading books, doing art projects, and encouraging imaginative play with the kids that I care for.
Bex $20 per hour for 1 child
I'm a graduate student and long-time neighborhood babysitter, house-sitter, and dog/cat-sitter! I grew up around a big family with lots of kids, often taking care of the youngest ones over summer breaks, and, in college, became a reliable source for babysitting and animal care in my community! I am also a Teach For America Fellow, tutoring elementary and middle school aged students. I have a reliable car, and am a jack of all trades when it comes to meeting your family's needs!
