Grace $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace and I’m currently in college, about to go into my fourth year. I am offering child care and occasional pet care services. I love babysitting, I’ve been doing it since about 15-16 years old. I’ve babysat ranges of newborn-12 years old, and some not the best well behaved children. I have also babysat up to 5 children at one time. I am CPR certified and I have reliable transportation. I have a cat so would be more than comfortable pet sitting cats. I have also pet sat 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions.

Naszier $13 per hour for 1 child

What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.

I have also had professional experience as a baby sitter since the age of 13. I have handled kids with disabilities as well as adults. I have a cat of my own so I am well versed with taking care of animals. I am a very hands on person so I try to help kids with learning as well as school work. I am also a big foodie and love to cook, the more people the better. I do have a driver's license as well so I can run errands and the like. I can bring trusted to clean up any messes whether it be mine or someone else's.

Emily $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily , and I am a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with nearly 3 years of experience working with children of all ages. In my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting kids with a wide range of needs, including those with autism, sensory processing differences, and emotional regulation challenges. I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and reach their potential through play and connection. I’m looking for opportunities to provide safe, supportive, and fun care outside of my therapy schedule, whether that’s babysitting, after-school help, or evening care.
