Hi, my name is Billie, and I’m 29 years old. I have 18+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I have CPR, A.E.D, First Aid & CNA Certifications. I love helping children learn through tutoring, creative arts and crafts projects, dancing, and engaging activities that encourage their growth and confidence. I’m patient, dependable, and passionate about providing the best care while making sure every child feels happy and supported.
I’ve been teaching in grades 1-6 for the past 17 years. I have daily experience working with 25+ children. I am dependable and hardworking. I currently have two pitbull dogs but grew up mucking stalls for our horses, taking care of various types of birds, reptiles and fish. My mom is a senior who is on oxygen so I am familiar with the frequent doctor visits and needs of seniors. I am a full time teacher so I am currently looking to work during the summer months and extended holidays.
I am a caring, reliable, and patient Head Start Teacher Assistant with over a year of hands-on experience working with young children (3-5) in a classroom setting. I am currently a college student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, and age-appropriate learning activities. I enjoy creating a nurturing, structured, and fun environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I have experience assisting with daily routines, educational activities, behavior guidance, and communication with families. I am responsible, attentive, and passionate about helping children thrive.
Hi, my name is Kyle and I am a 30 year old well experienced caretaker. I love working with children and dogs. I am allergic to cats. I’ve been a Respite, Habilitation, Attendant Care Provider since I was 19 working with Neural-Divergent and Neural-Typical Clients of all ages from 3 years old to 45 years old. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and have my Level 1 IVP Fingerprint Clearance card as well as prevention and support training and an Article 9 certification that are all current and up to date as of June of Last year 2025. I am currently in the process of getting my RBT Certification and furthering my education as a BCBA in ABA Therapy.
I’ve always had a passion for working with kids and hope to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I started babysitting at 13 and have cared for children of all ages through babysitting, nannying, and volunteering in church nurseries. For the past two years, I’ve been working as a nanny and currently care for a 2-year-old and an 8-month-old, which has given me valuable experience with routines, developmental milestones, and infant/toddler care. Families describe me as compassionate, patient, creative, and dependable. I love engaging children in fun and enriching activities, while also providing a safe, nurturing environment. As a full-time student and nanny, I mainly pick up extra babysitting shifts on weekends and occasional evenings, so parents can enjoy reliable help when they need it most. It would be an honor to support your family and care for your little ones!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
