Hi! My name is Kayla. I've spent the last ten years caring for children of all ages. Whether it's infants, toddlers, or teenagers, I'm extremely comfortable around kids and willing to learn and adapt to best care for your child or children! When it comes to taking care of your child, I enjoy outdoor adventures in the park, reading books, and baking sweet treats (with your permission, of course). My goal is to ensure your child stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I'm usually available early mornings, midday, and late nights, and I can accept last minute bookings. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

Hi! My name is Jaki, I’m 31 years old. I’m a health sciences student, and I speak both English and Spanish. I’m offering babysitting services and would love to help families looking for reliable, caring, and experienced childcare. I love spending time with children and have several years of childcare experience, caring for children ranging from newborns and toddlers to elementary school-aged triplets. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s needs. I enjoy creating a safe, calm, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m experienced in following daily routines, including nap times and meal schedules, and keeping play areas, bottles, and baby essentials clean and organized. I also enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, playtime, early developmental stimulation, and outdoor walks to support children’s growth and development. I can also assist with outings, playdates, and transportation when needed. As someone with a background in health sciences, I value children’s well-being, safety, and healthy development. I also understand the importance of building trust and maintaining open communication with parents so they can feel confident and comfortable while their little ones are in my care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help your little ones learn, grow, and have fun! Feel free to message me if you’re looking for a babysitter. 😊

Hi everyone I’m Jocelyn is look forward to offering my services of child care, household services if needed as well as pet care. I’m the oldest of four siblings, and growing up caring for my brothers and sisters taught me patience, responsibility, and how rewarding it is to support children as they grow. I have experience with children of all ages whether that is an infant, toddler, or kid. I’ve also helped care for my younger cousins which has also helped me gain experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I truly love children and have a soft spot for them. I think children are very smart and curious, and just need patience, understanding, and someone open minded to guide them and listen. I also worked at a kids club in a gym, where I cared for multiple children at once. This taught me how to manage groups safely, keep them engaged, and ensure each child felt seen and supported. Along with my experience with children, I’ve grown up around animals. My family had three dogs and a cat, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets and understand how loving and important they are in a family. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m a caring, gentle, and dependable person who treats others like my own family. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment, whether helping with homework, planning little fun activities, or looking after pets. I’m excited to meet your family and provide the support and care that you may need.

"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!"
