Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! 👋 I have extensive childcare experience and absolutely love working with kids of all ages. For 7 years, I was a full-time nanny for a wonderful family with four children, which gave me hands-on experience balancing different ages, schedules, and personalities all at once. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and fun while also keeping things safe and structured. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or making sure bedtime runs smoothly, I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a positive environment for children to thrive.

My name is Taylor! I am an artist and an enthusiastic, positive person. I have some education in early childhood education with an art degree. I love to have fun and have no issue getting on the floor to play with your children. I have a background in arts facilitation and programming with children's age groups and adults/seniors with disabilities. I have experience with all age groups and began babysitting at 12. I now have 5 nieces and nephews ranging from 1-12 years that I get to care for frequently. I have experience watching twins as well. I am patient, fun, and dependable. I am looking for work outside of my Tuesday-Friday job. I am happy to help out here and there or discuss something more permanent. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!
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!
