Alexa $25 per hour for 1 child

I come from a strong caregiving and service-oriented background, and I naturally step into nurturing, responsible roles. I have experience caring for children of various ages through babysitting and nannying for friends, family, and private households. This includes preparing meals, helping with homework, creating engaging activities, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, positive environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve also supported seniors by assisting with daily tasks, companionship, organization, errands, and light household duties. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and emotional awareness when caring for others, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I’m also a longtime pet owner and animal lover, with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, observant, and highly responsible. I’m someone families trust quickly because I’m reliable, organized, and emotionally intuitive. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and instructions, while still being warm, playful, and engaging. I’m great at reading a child’s needs whether they need structure, encouragement, or creative play and I adapt easily to different family dynamics. Beyond direct caregiving, I’m very comfortable with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal prep, errands, and maintaining an orderly home. I’m proactive and detail-oriented, so I don’t wait to be told what needs to be done I step in where help is needed. Overall, I bring a combination of trustworthiness, emotional intelligence, and genuine care. I treat every home and family with respect and always aim to make life easier, calmer, and more supported for both parents and children.

Taylor $24 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.

"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!"
