Caring for children has always been a meaningful part of my life. I began by helping raise my sister, who is 13 years younger than me, and over the years I’ve cared for cousins, friends’ children, and others in my community. I started babysitting in high school and continued for several years, both professionally and informally, developing experience with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens (up to 12 years old). I am confident and capable in managing routines, playtime, meals, and the unique personalities of each child. In addition to childcare, I’ve worked in fast-paced environments such as law firms, World Bank events and high-end restaurants, which has honed my organizational skills, ability to multitask, and calmness under pressure. I’m family-oriented, creative and culturally diverse. English is my first language and I speak perfect Spanish. I’m also familiar with Arabic language and culture, allowing me to connect with children from different backgrounds. With a foundation in arts and hospitality, I enjoy engaging kids through creativity, interactive play, and making meals fun and appealing. I’ve recently returned to babysitting as a way to earn extra income doing something I genuinely love, and I take the responsibility very seriously!

Hi! My name is Jamie. I am available for child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with children and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was in middle school. I have experience as a mom (to twins!), a babysitter, a camp counselor, and a teacher. I have been a caretaker for young people with significant physical limitations and learning disabilities.

Hi, I'm Naomi! I recently graduated from Lafayette College and have moved back home for my gap year while I prepare for graduate school. I have 7 years of professional experience working with children and would love the chance to support your family. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered my love for childcare while helping care for my two younger sisters, who are my world. Over the years, I've continued babysitting and tutoring children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary schoolers, in both home and school settings. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids -- whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, going to the park, playing games, or simply creating a safe and fun environment for them. I also have a car and am happy to help with transportation, appointments, pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, or activities if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have five dogs myself and have experience pet sitting and cat sitting for friends, so I’d be more than happy to help care for pets as well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’d be a good fit for your needs!
