Crystal $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Crystal I am 20 years old and I'm currently in college with hopes of becoming a teacher and work at an elementary school. I am offering childcare, petcare and household care. I have done babysitting since I was 16, with mostly toddlers or preschoolers but I have a bit of experience with infants (8 months of experience). I have driven to/from daycare to trips to the park, and crafts. I can also work with cleaning up the house, running errands and some light cooking. I have both cats and dogs, and am currently training my dog. I have done dog walking, dog traning, and dog baths.

Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m currently a sophomore in college. I am offering childcare ranging from any age, as well as some household services. I absolutely love being a babysitter and have been watching all age ranges since I was 13 years old. Mostly unpaid, since I truly just love kids! I would love go help with other tasks as well such as tutoring, driving to appointments/activities, tidying up, doing laundry, and even running errands! Another plus is I am bilingual! Fluent in Spanish and English. I am also happy to work with families that have pets.

Breanna $20 per hour for 1 child

I volunteer on Sundays and Wednesdays with my church. I have taken care of babies through 6th graders as well as some children who have had disabilities. I also grew up taking care of a family member with disabilities as well. I adore children and spending time and playing with them. I have also taken care of an older adult who was wheelchair bound. I do my best and take care of each child and adult with great care when I am on the job or volunteering. I also own a dog and have had experience taking care of pets.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
