Mia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mia, and I am a recent college graduate. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids (including twins!) since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, camp, crafts, and tutoring. I can also cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for a senior citizen who had a broken hip, so I am completely comfortable with senior care. I have dog-sat before and also have my own cat, so I can take care of both cats and dogs!

Dear Family, I hope this message finds you well. I want to take this opportunity to share my experience and qualifications as a childcare provider. I understand that finding a reliable and trustworthy nanny can be a daunting task, and it is essential to foster a genuine connection with someone who can care for your child with compassion and understanding. With over twenty years of babysitting experience, I have had the privilege of looking after children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. My journey as a parent has enriched my understanding of the joys and challenges of caring for children. This unique perspective has instilled an unwavering commitment to the well-being and development of the children I care for. My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to organize engaging and age-appropriate activities. I am proficient in managing feeding, napping, bedtime, bathing routines, and other essential needs, including colic, bottle feeding, congestion, illness, and teething. Additionally, my experience as a pre-K teacher has further solidified my abilities in fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment. I pride myself on retaining a clean criminal and driving record and possess advanced certifications in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. Moreover, I am a non-smoker and have developed skills in teaching basic American Sign Language and introductory Spanish. I passionately believe that providing childcare extends beyond fulfilling basic needs; it is about cultivating an environment that promotes growth and development. I am enthusiastic about organizing educational games, arts and crafts, music activities, and outdoor play. My approach to childcare centers on kindness, respect, and empathy, ensuring that each child receives personalized care and engagement. In addition to childcare, I can handle errands, meal preparation, light housekeeping, organization, and overall household management. My educational background includes an associate's degree in business, theater, and real estate. I continue to pursue further education in early childhood development. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy traveling, engaging in outdoor activities, and immersing myself in the arts. Thank you for considering my candidacy as a caregiver for your child. I can provide references upon request. Sincerely, Debbie

Hello! My name is Emily. I am a pediatric speech therapist. I love children and have worked with kids of all ages throughout my life in varying roles from nanny to therapist. I decided to become a sitter because in therapy, my time working with a child was typically limited to a 30-minute timeframe; additionally, more of my time was spent writing lengthy justifications for insurance companies than working with the child. The reason I chose to work with children is that I enjoy them! And I want to spend time with them, engaging them on all levels. I was a single parent (until my daughter was 10 years of age) before meeting my amazing husband who I've now been married to for 24 years! Although we have become empty-nesters, I remember the challenges that come with parenting, and I have extreme gratitude for those who supported me through the years with their time, love, and encouragement. P.S. I now have a grandson and granddaughter who are the apples of my eye (I promise, it is the best role ever)! From my early years of caring for younger siblings and/or cousins, baby-sitting, and eventually enjoying my friend’s kids, I have always had an innate talent for meeting kids where they are...for seeing their needs and their talents and helping, listening, and encouraging them in their daily activities and/or struggles. I believe children need to feel loved, heard, challenged, and inspired, and that is one of my greatest desires. Plainly said, I have a huge heart for children and feel a strong calling to help them become their very best selves. I have a background in music (vocal performance) and love to implement music throughout my daily life. I also enjoy animals, baking, arts and crafts, reading, bird-watching, and spending time outdoors (especially anything water-related). I like routines, I am a neatnik (although I appreciate a good mess in the name of adventure), I choose creativity over screen-time, and I am a stickler for good manners and respect for others.

Emily is incredible!! So kind and warm and genuine. My son is picky about who he likes and he LOVED her. They made paper airplanes, swam , dance party...he didn't even care that I left he was having such a great time.
