Anayah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Anayah Walker. I am currently a Paraeducator. I am the oldest of 5 kids with my sibling's ages ranging from 4-14. I have been a major part in the upbringing of all of my siblings. With that being said, I'm naturally a caregiver. I have experience in being an in-home behavioral technician and an enrichment counselor working with ages 4-17. I know how to bring calm, patience, and structure to busy afternoons. I'm CPR-certified with my own car for school pickups and activity drop-offs. I'm also more than happy to help keep the house running smoothly with simple tasks.

Kimberly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Kimberly! I've been a mother for 12 years. I have multiple children, and have always been the go-to babysitter for friends and family. I enjoy having littles around, as do my children. I believe parents know best, and thus I try my best to provide a personalized approach to each child based on the family's needs.

"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!"
