erika $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erika :) I have over three years of experience caring for children. After graduating with a degree in Psychology, I moved to the United States to improve my English, and that’s when I started working as a babysitter—and I quickly discovered how much I love it. I’ve cared for children of different ages. I am CPR certified, have my own car, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m also happy to provide references. I’d love to connect with your family!

Anayah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Anayah Walker. I am currently a Paraeducator. I am the oldest of 5 kids with my sibling's ages ranging from 4-14. I have been a major part in the upbringing of all of my siblings. With that being said, I'm naturally a caregiver. I have experience in being an in-home behavioral technician and an enrichment counselor working with ages 4-17. I know how to bring calm, patience, and structure to busy afternoons. I'm CPR-certified with my own car for school pickups and activity drop-offs. I'm also more than happy to help keep the house running smoothly with simple tasks.

"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."
