Imogen $21 per hour for 1 child

I have over six years of experience providing dependable childcare, including with newborns, children ages 2–8, and kids with special needs. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, am working toward my doctorate, and have completed coursework in Early Child Development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, which ensures safety in my care. Families describe me as patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I love engaging children in outdoor play, sports, games, and puzzles that encourage both fun and learning. I’m comfortable caring for up to three children, and I always follow household rules and communicate clearly with parents. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, meal prep, and light housekeeping. My goal is to support children’s growth while bringing peace of mind to families.

Keauntra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I have 10+ years working with kids from newborns to teenagers. I am also third oldest of seven kids, so some of that experience did come from watching my siblings growing up. I work in the food industry and have 14years experience. I have 2 elder dogs, they are a terrier mix that I had the opportunity of taking in as puppies (3-4 weeks,) they just turned 15 years, so I have experience with dogs, smaller dogs, but I love all dogs regardless. I mainly love baking and creating fun little treats but I do know my way around a kitchen as well. I’ve been a creative person my whole life, so both visual arts and performing arts are things I’m passionate about. I’m a very neat, organized and detail oriented person, so helping with household chores is something I can assist with as well. My fulltime job was affected by the LA fires (Jan. 2025) and I’ve yet to find another full time job to work in tandem with my part time job. I’m looking for something with a set schedule, and preferably something earlier in the day.
