Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.

Mikhail $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, im Mike, your new babysitter! During the week, I work with kids, but I'm ready to bring that magic to your front doorstep. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a night out, or even a last minute call-in, i'm your guy. Even when it seems like I might not have the time, my schedule is made to prioritize your home, your children, your pets, and most importantly: YOU. I usually work with kids aged 5-12, but I've never been known to shy away from working with new ages. So as long as you'd tell me everything I should know, I can get the job done. No kids, no problem! If you need a pet sitter, house sitter, or just a clean house then im still the right call to make. I'm experienced with pets, and know my way around a broom. So what are you waiting for? You need time for you, and I'm ready to give you peace of mind.
