Aubrey $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!

Emmalee $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emmalee, and I am currently working as a medication technician while continuing my education in healthcare. I am offering child care, senior care, and household assistance. I have a strong passion for caring for others and hope to work closely with children in the future. While most of my experience has been in healthcare, I have developed valuable skills such as patience, responsibility, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I am CPR certified and confident in handling emergencies if they arise. I am happy to help with daily routines such as meal prep, light housekeeping, activities, and keeping children engaged and safe. I enjoy creating a positive and comfortable environment for the families I work with.

Betsy $22 per hour for 1 child

With 20 years of childcare experience and a Bachelor's degree in Child Development, I'm passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care tailored to each child's unique needs. I've worked as a full-time nanny for two children (a girl from 11 months to age 4 and a boy from birth to age 2), and I've also cared for a 3-month-old infant, plus served as a summer nanny for two children including a 10-year-old boy with autism. Beyond nanny care, I have extensive experience in child development centers, Pre-K classrooms, and as a summer camp counselor. During the pandemic, I was a virtual learning facilitator for five children (three kindergartners and two 2nd graders). I have particular expertise working with children with disabilities and English language learners, and I'm skilled at developing lesson plans and providing educational activities and support to enrich children's development. My Pediatric First Aid/CPR & SIDS certifications are current. I can also help with household management tasks and pet care! I have done both for many families and I have over 13 years of dog sitting experience.
