Cheryl $20 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of four sons, with two still at home, I understand the patience, love, and dedication it takes to care for children of all ages. Raising my boys has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence. I am a dependable, caring, and nurturing caregiver who creates a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, driving children to school, playdates, or sporting events, or simply being a positive and reliable presence, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I believe every child deserves encouragement, kindness, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family and providing the same level of care I have always given my own children.

Hi! My name is Melodie, and I bring a warm, reliable, and well-rounded approach to caregiving. I’ve been babysitting off and on since high school, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a wide range of settings—from casual date nights to consistent weekly care. Between 2021 and 2023, I provided regular childcare for a college head coach’s family, where I was trusted to handle everything from after-school routines and bedtime to meal prep and light tidying. More recently, I’ve been working with a wonderful family caring for two young siblings. I’ve also taken formal child development courses and hold an active CPR and First Aid certification. Your child’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or reinforcing routines, I aim to support not just the kids but the whole family. In addition to childcare, I’m also experienced in household support. I’ve run my own household and have been employed to help organize others’, so I naturally maintain a clean and tidy space. I enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals for children and families as needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and have grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have two of my own and am confident in handling pet care alongside childcare—including walks, feeding, and lots of love. Transportation is never a problem. I have a perfect driving record and a safe, well-maintained vehicle. I understand how important punctuality and reliability are when it comes to caregiving, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Whether you need dependable babysitting, pet care, help keeping your household running smoothly—or all three—I’d love to be a part of your support system. I genuinely care about the families I work with and value building lasting, respectful relationships. Looking forward to connecting!

“Great sitter. Punctual, professional and sweet with our children! She even made them dinner and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards! We will definitely book her again!”

"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!"
