Ella $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ella and I am a recent college graduate interested in working with kids! I love babysitting toddlers and kids -- I have previously wrangled little ones moving through summer theatre and dance camps, and I have special skills in working with easily distracted kids and getting them back on track :) I am also available to catsit, dogsit, and housesit upon request!

Eduarda $31 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Eduarda, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’m currently living in the United States and have experience caring for children of different ages through my au pair journey. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, energetic, and very loving. I love engaging children with activities like arts and crafts, games, outdoor walks, music, movies, and creative play. I also understand the importance of routines, communication, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their children are in my care. Being away from my own family taught me a lot about maturity, adaptability, and empathy, which I bring into my childcare style every day. I always try to build a genuine connection with the families I work with and become someone both parents and children can trust. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids, meal/snack preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained in a positive and attentive way. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and help however I can. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to connecting with you! Best, Eduarda

Anthea $25 per hour for 1 child

I LOVE being with children! Growing up in a huge family, I've always been surrounded by kids, so it's been a pretty easy task to take care of them. I started babysitting when I was 11, and then gradually it turned into a regular thing. I have been a part-time nanny, and now that I'm a full time Esthetician, I pick up babysitting shifts and date nights regularly! I baby-sit at least three times a month. I have watched children from the ages of new born to 11 years of age.

I am a passionate care provider. I bring this passion with me to every job that I do. I am creative, and fun, but also bring balance, and stability. I love working with children in a variety of settings. I have had the privilege of working with the same families for over ten years.
