Sydney $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello:) My name is Sydney. I have a long career of working with children of all ages including those with special needs. I have a masters in speech therapy and have worked as a speech therapist and feeding therapist for 1.5 years. I love to incorporate language and developmental models when working with children of all abilities and levels of development. I love working with children and find it comes naturally to me. I also have experiences dog sitting and have a wonderful labradoodle that loves to make friends. I am wanting to make extra $ on the side of the part time speech therapy jobs because my husband and I just bought our first home and would also like to save up to have our own children:)

McKenzi $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is McKenzi, and I’m a high school senior offering childcare and household services! I’ve babysat throughout high school and have experience caring for multiple children at once, including a baby, toddler, and elementary-aged child! For the past three summers, I’ve worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor teaching infants through 18-year-olds, and most recently coached kids on the Centennial Stingrays swim team. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a certified assistant teacher through my COOP and child development programs at my high school, and have classroom experience as an assistant teacher. I’m organized, alert, and dependable, and I’m happy to help with pets and light housekeeping. I’m also bubbly, creative, and love making kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Adrianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm passionate about nurturing and caring for children, a passion that grew over my 6 years of volunteering, nannying and babysitting in childcare. The excitement on the children's faces and the trust their parents had in me solidified my desire to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families. I am CPR certified & First Aid trained. I also have my fingerprint card! With 6 years of experience caring for children of various ages, I'm adept at creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them to thrive. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my creativity and imagination, allows me to connect with children effortlessly. I believe in open communication and building strong relationships with parents, ensuring that I follow their preferred communication method and collaborate closely with them to address any concerns or issues that may arise. Whether it's engaging in outdoor activities, crafts, or exploring games that promote learning, I strive to make playtime both enjoyable and enriching for the children in my care.

Coming from an education background, I have worked with children/adolescents from the ages of 10 to 17 for over 8 years! I love working with children, encouraging confidence and curiosity is my fortè! I am a strong believer in reading to kids all the time, even during summer break!

"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!"
