Ashanti $26 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and compassionate person with over 9 years of hands-on caregiving experience. I started caring for my younger siblings at age 10, and over the years, families began trusting me to care for their children as well. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and love keeping them entertained, safe, and comfortable. I also enjoy doing kids’ hair and helping with their everyday routines. I’m a true animal lover and have cared for animals my entire life. I’ve had three dogs of my own and currently have two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets as well. I’ve also helped older adults with household cleaning, errands, technology, and companionship. I’m patient, a good listener, and genuinely enjoy being someone others can rely on.

Erin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Mariana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mariana and apart from being a full time college student I also work at a non- profit organization where I mostly volunteer with elementary at the age of 14. A while after I was hired as a staff childcare associate where I would take care of a mix of infants, toddlers ,and elementary aged children. A couple months later I got promoted to childcare coordinator where I am the lead teacher for 4-5 years olds. I am also first aid/CPR certified. Some quality services I can offer for the children is: picking them up from school, cleaning up after them, making them breakfast and making light snacks for them throughout the day, and make sure they are clean and tidy. I am also willing to do light cleaning through the house for a little extra charge as well as get groceries/ pick them up for you. I am willing to do many things to help you and your family out!

"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!"
