Melisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a patient, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, individuals with special needs, and animals. I helped care for my grandmother by assisting with her daily routine and medications. I also regularly looked after my younger sibling and many young relatives while my parents were busy. I have personal experience helping care for my brother with cerebral palsy, and in school I volunteered with classmates with down syndrome and dyslexia, supporting them with classroom activities. I’ve also cared for animals throughout my life. I’ve raised cats and dogs, cared for rabbits, birds, fish, and chickens, and fostered many stray cats until they were adopted. I nursed injured and sick stray cats and dogs back to health, cared for pregnant cats, and assisted during births when needed. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care to every person and pet I look after.

Fernando $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Fernando and I am a current after school teacher and college student. I provide child care, pet sitting, and household services. Having raised and taken care of my siblings and cousins has helped me gain experience and knowledge on how to care for younger children. The raising of children and helping families through dependable and quality childcare have been my career highlights over the last six years. Working as a helper with kindergartners in an after-school program has taught me how to be patient, cool-headed, and creative when interacting with kids. I am always eager to adjust to your preference in communication to update you about your child's progress during the day. I drive and absolutely adore animals, so there is no problem having them along with us as part of the fun and excitement.
