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!
