Elexia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elexia but I go by Lexi! Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. My six years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11 have solidified my commitment to their growth and well-being. Previous babysitting experiences further ignited my desire to positively impact young lives. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and readily enforce household rules while providing a safe and stimulating environment. I know how to cook, can clean up minor messes including, spills, toys, meal times, etc. I can provide positive redirection to avoid meltdowns as well as help a child regulate emotions and cope with big feelings while staying calm and nurturing. I have experience with ADHD, ADD, Autism, and OCD. As I’ve experienced those struggles within my personal life being neurodivergent myself. I strive to provide children of all backgrounds a safe and understanding environment to talk through and share tough emotions. My goal is to help children learn how to cope and communicate their emotions effectively. I hope to help children learn to regulate their emotions healthily and effectively. I enjoy sparking creativity through imaginative play and educational games, including technology-based apps, puzzles, and board games. I prioritize clear and open communication with you, the parents, using your preferred method to keep you informed about your child's day. I am CPR certified, possess a valid driver's license, and am comfortable around pets. I approach each day with patience, a calm demeanor, and a friendly attitude, and I look forward to the opportunity to bring joy and care to your family.

Hi! I'm Catalina, a caring, responsible, and bilingual caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to adolescents. I have a background in Psychology and experience working with children with special needs, as well as extensive experience as a nanny and childcare provider. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and engaged. I love doing age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities. I’m also happy to support families with routines, homework, and bedtime when needed. I’m CPR trained, have reliable transportation, and can provide references. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable working with both children and pets.

I’m happy to help with date nights, occasional childcare, school pick-ups, or when parents simply need an extra hand.

“Catalina was an incredible caretaker for my daughter! My daughter warmed to her right away. Catalina had many ideas for crafts and activities to keep my daughter engaged for a full day - and what a fun surprise for me to see their artwork at the end of the day! Catalina is calm, friendly, and knowledgeable about children. It was a great experience!”
