I got most of my experience from raising my three kids, boy and 2 girls, and all of them are in the college now. I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, playing with them. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I work part time and my work schedule is pretty flexible, I am available on Thursday and on Sunday at anytime and some days early morning and in the afternoon too , I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids, like dropping off & picking them up from school, playing outside with them, reading stories, playing board games, and helping them with their homework, I have Adult, Children, Infant, Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification, and I am Covid vaccinated. * “References Available Upon Request”

We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

I worked as an assistant in Special education, as well as in the Kindergarten classroom. I am kind, honest, caring, playful and energetic. My cat Baytobin is a true family member, who I tend to spoil ...whenever I get the chance. I enjoy taking care of medium sized dogs and cats of all sizes. :) I hope you will consider me and know that I work hard, and enjoy being a helper.
