cameo $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cameo, and I am a devoted caregiver with extensive experience caring for children and pets. I have three children aged 3 to 11 years, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of a nurturing environment. Additionally, I helped raise my little sister from the age of 16, further enhancing my caregiving skills. I genuinely love working with children and animals, fostering a compassionate and engaging atmosphere for everyone in my care. I prioritize creating a safe and fun environment while promoting growth and learning. I am looking for clients who would also be open to me bringing my 3-year-old with me to jobs, as I believe in fostering strong family bonds and can provide care that accommodates my child’s needs. I am patient, nurturing, and dedicated to making every caregiving experience enriching for the little ones and pets I look after.

Elizabeth 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been caring for children since I was 12. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver—one child I sat for told his mom, "She actually PLAYED with me!" I'm excited to connect with new families to provide engaging and reliable care for babies, children, and seniors. One of my greatest assets is nearly 20 years of professional experience in medicine. This background ensures I bring an exceptional level of safety, patience, and medical awareness to every family I work with. Additionally, I have extensive experience with house and pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, leopard geckos, hissing cockroaches, and a variety of other exotic and regular family pets. I am passionate about pets of all kinds and am happy to assist with house and/or pet sitting as well. I am dedicated to accommodating your family’s specific needs, ensuring a seamless experience—from school pickups to running errands.

Elizabeth was extremely reliable and professional. She showed up in a timely manner and helped with meals and light clean up. My child had fun with her and liked her as a sitter. I felt she safely looked after my child and was interested in and happy to help with every day extras that may come along. She is a terrific sitter with experience with babies and todlers too.
