Maria Olivia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I bring over 7 years of healthcare experience, including my background as a NICU nurse in the Philippines and as a Medical Virtual Assistant. My experience has allowed me to care for newborns, children, adults, and seniors, giving me a strong understanding of the importance of safety, patience, compassion, and dependable care. I’m happy to assist families with childcare, senior care, companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and everyday activities. I’m responsible, organized, attentive, and always mindful of each person’s individual needs and comfort. My healthcare background has taught me how to remain calm and prepared in different situations while providing care with kindness and respect. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision, and my goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in caring and capable hands. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can help make your day a little easier!

Alyssa $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa, an experienced elementary school teacher and longtime childcare provider. I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for! I have several years of professional experience working with children in elementary school settings, along with extensive babysitting experience. As a teacher, I’m especially comfortable with routines, homework help, reading practice, and keeping kids engaged without relying on screens. I’m happy to help with everything from after-school care and date nights to weekend babysitting, homework support, playtime, meals, and bedtime routines. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I always make an effort to learn each family’s routines and preferences. I’d love to get to know your family and be someone you feel comfortable trusting with your children!

Hannah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Hannah and I've worked with kids on and off for the past 10 years. I was a nanny to a household of twins from the ages of 4 to when they were 10. I've cared for infants, toddlers, and elementary age children. I also have experience running multi-week summer theatre and art classes for ages 5-12. I have housekeeping and pet sitting experience with a wide variety of pets (for example: a five-cat household, with puppies, and senior dogs!) Additionally, I've volunteered extensively for multiple years with an afterschool program for teens with special needs. I'm flexible, personable, and love kids. I can always roll with the punches that life brings with little ones. I'm happy to be there for your family whenever you need! I have my own transportation. I can't wait to get started!

Felicia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a part-time teacher who enjoys supporting families by providing dependable, caring, and flexible childcare. My professional background is in fashion and sustainability, but being an auntie has given me a special love for caring for the many children in my life. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I currently work in the nursery at my local church, caring for children ages 1–3. For four years, I cared for a little boy from the time he was 6 months old through age 4. More recently, I have also helped care for a 2-year-old and newborn twins. I bring patience, kindness, creativity, and dependability to every family I support. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for while providing families with reliable support they can trust.

"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!"
