Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Katy! I am newly married and taking some time off of my traditional job. I have been a NICU clinical dietitian at Children’s hospitals for 6 years…needless to say I love kiddos! I love my nephews and spend so much time with them, help my friends who are new mamas, and truly just love being around kids! I am also more than happy to help with other household errands when the kids are at activities or in school! I am very comfortable if the kids need to be driven to activities as well!

Andrea $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have previously worked taking care of special needs kids K-6th grade. I have extensive experience caring for children with special needs, including those with developmental, behavioral, and physical challenges. My approach focuses on patience, understanding, and creating a safe, supportive environment where each child can thrive. I’m familiar with individualized care routines, communication strategies, and adaptive activities that encourage learning and independence. This applies to all kids! I take pride in building trust with both children and parents, and I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care that meets each child’s unique needs. I am also open to other opportunities such as house sitting, caring for pets (I have one of my own), helping with errands, and other. You can message me with questions. I’m mostly looking for jobs here and there.

Shelly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a proud mother of two grown daughters and a loving grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren, ages 8 months to 5 years. Caring for little ones has always been a big part of my life — I regularly babysit my grand kids in the evenings and handle everything from story time to bedtime with ease and patience. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and secure. With years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, I understand the importance of routines, gentle guidance, and dependable care. Whether it’s dinner, playtime, or bedtime, I’m comfortable managing multiple children and keeping things running smoothly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and family-oriented to look after your little ones as if they were my own, I’d love to help.

"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!"
