Ally $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ally! I’m currently looking for ideally part time consistent work. To best align hours, I just wanted to preface I work a part time, remote job Monday through Thursday; 9:00am-1:00pm. I’ve been babysitting kids around my neighborhood for years now and regularly babysat my little cousin as he grew up! My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person! So I would be love to help out in a home with cats or dogs. Happy to entertain/keep pets busy as well. I have experience petsitting of cats/dogs, for those that are looking for that. I’d be open to helping around the house jobs as well. From cleaning, tidying up, running errands, and cooking. I bring very clear communication to any job I take and want to provide the best care for whatever needs you and your family may need.

"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!"
