Mariah $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! We’re Mariah and Austin, a married couple who are excited to spend more time caring for kids together and helping families in our community. We’re both warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing, and we really enjoy creating an environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. Mariah is a professional graphic designer and naturally brings a lot of creativity to the table—whether that means arts and crafts, drawing, imaginative play, or coming up with a fun activity on the fly. She’s nurturing, attentive, and loves encouraging kids’ creativity and interests. Austin is dependable, calm, playful, and incredibly patient. He’s great at making people feel comfortable and brings a fun, steady energy that balances Mariah’s creative side really well. Together, we make a great team: we’re attentive and responsible while still being silly, engaging, and willing to get down on the floor and actually play! We understand that trusting someone with your children is a big deal, so communication, safety, and respecting each family’s routines and boundaries are extremely important to us. We’re happy to help with playtime, meals and snacks, homework, bedtime routines, activities, and keeping things tidy along the way. We’re also animal lovers and very comfortable in homes with pets—we have two rescue dogs of our own! Most of all, we hope to be the kind of caregivers kids are genuinely excited to see and parents can feel completely comfortable having in their home. We’re looking forward to meeting some wonderful families!

Elizabeth $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a 24-year-old dependable, compassionate, and energetic caregiver with over 12 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and have had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to older children. I also have experience caring for a child with autism, which has strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love working with children and strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging kids through creative play, outdoor activities, reading, arts and crafts, educational games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families through kindness, consistency, and open communication. In addition to childcare, I have three years of experience dog sitting for my sister, ensuring her pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while she was away. I also have experience house sitting for a three-week period, where I responsibly maintained the home, cared for the property, and handled daily tasks. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help care for them as part of your family’s routine. I’m highly organized, responsible, and dependable. I can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, maintaining daily routines, diaper changes, potty training support, bedtime routines, homework help, and transportation when needed. I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, making it easy to assist with school drop-offs and pick-ups, appointments, extracurricular activities, or outings. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, nurturing, and dependable. I treat every child with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own family. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe, caring, and supportive environment. Highlights * Over 12 years of babysitting experience * Experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children * Experience caring for a child with autism * Three years of dog-sitting experience * Three weeks of house-sitting experience * Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation * Comfortable caring for pets * Patient, compassi
