Leudy $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated person. I hold a Direct Care Basics - Personal Home Care Aide certification from Coastal Carolina Community College in North Carolina. My training has provided me with knowledge in safety, basic first aid, emotional support, and personalized care. Additionally, I worked for a year and a half in a residential group, where I gained experience managing daily routines, supporting educational and recreational activities, and developing social skills. This experience has taught me to be organized, empathetic, and calm in different situations.

Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am currently a part-time nursing student. I am a licensed CNA with a BLS certification, and I am offering childcare, senior services, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been caring for children from ages 0-10 for the past three years. I'm calm natured, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love exploring. My responsibilities have included driving to/from places, tutoring (especially math), and crafts. As for senior care and household services, I was a caregiver for my grandmother for approximately six months. I can clean, run errands, drive, and assist with any daily living activities.

Victoria $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a student at the University of Illinois, studying elementary education with about two years of childcare experience. I’ve helped raise my 3-year-old nephew while his mom balances work and school, and I also work in my local church’s Sunday school, gaining hands-on experience with children of all ages. While I enjoy working with kids of all ages, I especially love caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household chores and errands. I also have extensive pet care experience, having worked at a pet daycare and boarding center and volunteered at a veterinary clinic. Although not completely fluent, I am familiar with Spanish and American Sign Language. My availability is very flexible, and I have my own car. I’m dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments for children and pets alike. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to set something up!
