Ale $25 per hour for 1 child

From a young age, I knew I had a heart for care. My journey into caregiving began in early childhood education, where I worked with infants and toddlers, nurturing their development during their most formative years. I quickly discovered a deep sense of purpose in creating safe, warm environments that supported not only physical care but emotional connection as well. As my experience grew, I was drawn to working with children on the autism spectrum. I took specialized training to better understand their unique needs and communication styles, and I found joy in celebrating every small milestone—whether it was a new word, a smile, or a moment of connection. My approach has always been patient, compassionate, and grounded in building trust. Alongside my work in childcare, I also found myself gravitating toward seniors care. Supporting elderly individuals—especially those facing isolation, dementia, or limited mobility—gave me the chance to offer dignity, companionship, and meaningful daily interactions. I’ve learned that caregiving at both ends of life’s spectrum requires many of the same values: empathy, patience, respect, and a willingness to truly listen. With years of hands-on experience across generations, I’ve come to appreciate the deep rewards of caregiving. Each person—whether a baby, a child with autism, or a senior—deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued. And for me, being able to provide that care is more than a job; it’s a calling.

I love teaching and learning from kids and plan on pursuing this as a social worker. Not only am I looking to forward to creating a strong bond with children but a bond with the parents too.

Alyssa $20 per hour for 1 child

I love kids! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I started with some neighborhood families and moved to being a nanny for another family. I love to teach children and keep them engaged without screens such as going outside to play or reading a book. As a nanny in the past, I would clean, cook, take the kids to dance class, and run errands for the family. I also have a background with childcare during ministry. I taught Sunday school class every Sunday for 3 years. I am a charismatic and outgoing person who loves to entertain and make anyone laugh. I treat everyone with respect no matter the age. Children should be allowed to think and dream in my opinion, and I encourage that!
