Sarah $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sarah, a BLS-certified healthcare worker with 10 years of experience, including time in a pediatric dental setting. I’ve worked closely with children, helping them feel comfortable and safe in medical settings, and I’m passionate about creating positive, fun experiences for kids. With my background in healthcare, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and being prepared for any situation. I’m a reliable, responsible, and caring individual who loves spending time with kids. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping them entertained, I’m all about fostering a fun and safe environment. I’m experienced in managing different personalities and know how to be calm and patient when things get a little hectic. If you’re looking for someone who combines warmth, experience, and professionalism, I’d love to help out with your childcare needs!

Bailey $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a first-born, type 2 on the Enneagram, and a lifelong high achiever with a deep love for kids. I’ve been babysitting since before I could drive, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for families of all sizes—including newborns. Looking back, I’m always amazed at the trust families placed in me at such a young age. I’m naturally responsible and connect easily with children; my mom always thought I’d become an elementary school teacher because kids seemed to gravitate toward me. Instead, I pursued my entrepreneurial dreams and now run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to support families on the side. I’ve also been babysitting for my friends’ children for years, and it’s such a joy to provide a safe, nurturing space for kids while helping families. I feel truly blessed to combine my love for children with the freedom my business provides.

"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!"
