Leticia $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi - my name is Leticia and I’m from Brazil. I’m currently studying business at MCTC. I already have a full-job but they’re leaving for spring break (03/24-03/28) and I am looking for child care, pet care, or household services for the time period. I love babysitting and has been my main job for the last five years - and my secondary job since I was 18. From infants to teenagers - including twins and multiple kids. I have had many types of responsibilities during this time - driving to/from activities, meal prepping, helping with homework, crafts, etc. I’ve also worked as household assistant, helping with errands, light cleaning, some cooking. I love to work with dogs and cats and I'm super comfortable around them. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks :)

Mariam $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I come from a big family, I have six siblings and have played a role in taking care of them as I’m the oldest! I’m very flexible with my schedule, however, I do have a current part time job that fluctuates. But, I’m more than willing to find a compromise! I’ve babysat numerous children that have different personalities; so it’s very easy for me to adapt! I can help with homework, reading, and any activities that are needed. For senior related care, I’m able to help with grooming, cleaning, groceries, and most important; companionship! I love communicating and having a conversation!
Carolee $20 per hour for 1 child
I am looking to find a family that wants a hands on, caring and very interactive nanny/babysitter.. I love to read to and do crafts with my littles and I believe in fresh air and running around outdoors! I have cared for infants to pre teens and I have great recommendations from my previous full time nanny jobs! I also lived with my Dad for the last 2-1/2 years of his life at an Independent living center. I loved making friends with so many vibrant and interesting people there.
