BERNICE 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”

Hortencia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially date nights, evenings, weekends, or when parents need some extra help. I’m not looking for a full-time position. I enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment where children can feel safe and engaged. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with kids include: • Bedtime routines and getting ready for bed • Reading books and storytelling • Arts and crafts • Board games and age-appropriate games • Creative and educational activities • Helping with meals and snacks • Keeping children’s routines and schedules I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I would love to be a reliable babysitter your family can call when you need occasional childcare!

Marah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents, I am 36yrs with 10+ years experience with children/pets. I have been working with kids since I was 14 years old and it is a huge passion of mine. I am looking forward to jumping back in for a while. I am a firm believer in routine, consistency, and creating an environment to thrive and learn. I know some American ASL, and I have a Montessori approach to the way I go about working with kids. I mainly prefer to work with infants and toddlers, but I have experience in all age ranges. I am comfortable with all traditional nanny duties, transporting children, house management/organization, elderly assistance, and pet sitting. I also have experience with special needs children including high anxiety, speech delay, autism and ADHD needs.
