CLAUDIA C $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been caring for children for as long as I can remember. As the oldest sibling, with brothers nearly 10 years younger than me, I began helping care for them when I was just 7 years old. Because my mother worked nights, I took on many caregiving responsibilities from the time they were infants. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for children. Over the years, I have babysat children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and teenagers. I have also worked as a camp counselor for children with special needs, supporting children with developmental, emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. This experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to respond calmly to a wide range of situations while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and supported. Safety is always my top priority. I naturally assess risks, stay attentive, and make thoughtful decisions to ensure children are protected while having fun. I understand the trust parents place in a caregiver, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I genuinely love children and enjoy engaging with them through play, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, homework help, and everyday learning opportunities. I believe every interaction is an opportunity to help children build confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I'm also a proud dog mom to both large and small dogs, so I'm very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to care for furry family members as well. I work full-time during the day and babysit during evenings and weekends because I truly enjoy spending time with children. I am dependable, nurturing, and reliable, and I believe children learn by watching the adults around them. I always strive to be a positive role model by demonstrating kindness, patience, respect, and good judgment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and cared for by someone with a lifetime of childcare experience who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and thrive.
