Hi - My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I'm currently in school to get a degree in Public Health. Once I complete my degree, I would love to have the title, “child and maternal health advocate”! I started working in child care 10 years ago as a lead teacher in a toddler classroom at a daycare. After a few years there, I moved on to becoming a nanny. I’ve been a nanny to two amazing families since 2016. Im thankful to have held long term positions. While my work week is filled with my current position, I do enjoy babysitting on the side. Im open to one time and occasional babysitting depending on the families needs. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since was 18 years old. My responsibilities as a babysitter have included bed time routines, prepping meals, cleaning up as well as entertaining the children. Naturally, I have a calm demeanor and a nurturing personality. I believe it goes hand in hand while being a caretaker. Although I am unavailable for for a full/part time position, I am open for date nights and such! Please feel free to contact I me. I can also provide my resume. *updated Aug. 2023
“We hired Christina to take care of our 3 year old daughter for the afternoon/evening. She did a wonderful job with Eliana in engaging her, taking her to play at the park, and making sure she got all the steps to her bedtime routine done--always a challenge. She quickly noticed and cleaned up when our daughter almost started painting the wall while I was showing Christina around right after she arrived. She also cleaned up after our daughter had a potty accident. Christina was very professional, arrived early, and has a very calm, patient, and thoughtful demeanor. We highly recommend her to other families, and hope to have the opportunity to hire her again.”

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!
“Very involved and engaged.”

***Currently seeking work as a Pediatric Nursing Assistant on Fridays only*****. Hello! My name is Kimberly. I have raised 4 boys who are mostly out of the house, so I have a little free time to help others. I am transitioning from full-time mothering to working outside the home, and just completed clinicals as a nursing assistant. I plan to apply to nursing school in the next year, and I'm hoping to gain some experience as a pediatric Nursing Assistant - Certified before I apply. I have a BS in Health Education and a MPH in International Health. I speak conversational Spanish, and formerly taught piano lessons. I am looking for a hours on Fridays, or possibly Saturdays. Besides assisting with diaper changes, feeding, dressing, bathing, oral hygiene and wheelchair transfers, I can help with homework, house cleaning, rides to activities, simple meal prep, and just playing with kids inside or out! I'm use to looking after cats and a black lab, so I can help with pet care as well. I'm a good organizer if you need help with that too!
“Kimberly did a wonderful job taking care of our four year old. She came up with games to entertain her, made origami with her, and was good at conversing with her. She was very professional and even did extra tidying up while she was here. We would definitely recommend her to other parents, and hope we can have her back to take care of our daughter another time. ”
