Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarah & I'm currently an Office Assistant. I am offering childcare, pet watching, and household services. I love babysitting and pet sitting! Growing up with a single mom who worked full time, I naturally took on a caregiving role when my younger brother was born. From age 12 on, I helped care for him, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how much I genuinely enjoy caring for others. Whether it's children or pets, I strive to create a safe, fun, and dependable experience for every family. And as an adult I have helped babysit for my nieces who are currently 3 and 1 years old. I can cook, clean, drive kids to practices, & help with other tasks. I do also have 2 cats now and have grown up with cats my entire life so I am extremely comfortable caring for cats as well no matter the age. Spicy or sweet lol. I did have a dog when I was younger but unfortunately my husband is allergic so I haven't gotten to have my own but I have watched my friends dog and took her on walks while they were on vacation. I love animals so much and will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!

Max $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have two pet cockatiels named Ray and Lola. They’re the light of my life. I’ve always loved animals, senior citizens, and kids! I was a soccer coach for children for a while and loved it so much; it made me want to continue working with kids. I’ve also helped babysit my little cousins growing up. With the elderly, I have experience helping out family and family friends who need assistance in their day-to-day lives, and I would also love to continue that. I even took care of an elderly lady in her 90s before she unfortunately passed away. Animals are one of my biggest passions as well! I’ve always loved babysitting my family members' kids/pets and spending time with them.

Kehinde $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kehinde, and I’m a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduate currently preparing for my NCLEX exam. While studying, I’m looking for a babysitting opportunity where I can provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your little ones. I have over 5 years of experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), caring for people of all ages in both hospital and long-term care settings. My healthcare background has taught me patience, compassion, responsibility, and how to stay calm in any situation. I’m CPR certified, attentive to children’s needs, and happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and creating a fun, safe environment. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I will treat your family with the same kindness, respect, and care that I would want for my own. I look forward to supporting your family and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Amanda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I’m a confident and safe driver, CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m very comfortable around water — I know how to swim and always prioritize safety. I grew up in a family where care and responsibility were part of everyday life: my father was a firefighter and my mother is a nurse, which taught me the importance of safety, calmness, and quick thinking in any situation. I love helping children grow in a safe, organized, and loving environment. I’m happy to assist with organizing children’s spaces, tidying up toys, and light cleaning related to the kids, helping families keep a smooth daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy being part of a child’s development. I would love to support your family and create a positive, caring environment for your kids
