Ariel $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m currently a substitute teacher for K-12 graders. I am offering childcare and household service. I love being a babysitter! I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, including twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have been to feed, cloth, tutor and help with sports. I enjoy completing household chores on my spare time. I like to be very organized. I prefer not to cook, but I can drive to and from doctor appointments, school or etc. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs that aren’t aggressive.
Ersh $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Ersh and I am a Houston native born and raised. I currently work full time at an eye clinic here in the River Oaks area. I received my undergraduate from Avila University (Kansas City) in Biology in 2020. I love being a baby sitter and helping those in need. I have experience in working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young teens. My responsibilities in the past have included cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, crafts, activities, taking kids from afterschool activities, and taking them to parks and recreational centers. I have been a care taker of my own siblings, cousins, and friends kids in the past and am very confident and comfortable with all age groups. I have taught Sunday school at a church when I was living in Kansas City for my undergrad. I do have experience with elderly care as I have lived with my elderly grandparents for a couple years in Kansas City while attending and finishing my undergrad. I love both cats and dogs and have had experience taking care of pets as I am a cat and dog owner myself!
