Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a registered nurse with over 5 years of experience, including a strong background in infant care. Before nursing, I spent more than 3 years as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants ages 8 weeks to 1 year, and frequently assisting in classrooms with children ages 3-5. I was well known in the daycare center for Craft Days with Ms. Sam. I am calm, attentive, and genuinely love supporting children's growth and routines, while always prioritizing safety, comfort and fun!

Mistura $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a new sophomore in college who has always enjoyed working with children. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent many years helping care for and support my younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I also was a mentor in high school and a camp counselor. I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their family’s care.
