Stephanie $50 per hour for 1 child

Hello/Hola! I’m Stephanie! I have a background in education and over 14 years of experience working with children within a school district. I’ve worked with children ranging from ages 2–17, beginning as a Pre-K teacher and later becoming a supervisor for an after-school program within a school district. I have since transitioned into a new profession and currently work as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I offer evening babysitting for date nights, overnight care, pet sitting and dog walking, house errands, and light organizing. I love organizing!! I am also fluent in English and Spanish. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Whether it’s doing crafts, going for walks, having an adventure at the park, reading stories, playing games, or simply spending quality time together. I enjoy making each child feel comfortable, cared for, and heard. Patience is something I excel in. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have two dogs of my own, along with reptiles and fish, and I love caring for them every day. As a pet sitter, I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and giving your pets the attention they need while you’re away. I’m comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. I’m very used to it with my own dogs! I’m also happy to help with household errands, weekly to-do store pick up lists, and light organizing to make life a little easier for busy families. For senior care, I can provide companionship, conversation, a listening ear, and a warm, positive presence. I believe everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and cared for. Whether you need someone for a date night, an overnight stay, pet care, errands, or simply an extra helping hand, I’d love the opportunity to help your family and get to know you guys.

Kulzum $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve had a love for children for as long as I can remember and have been babysitting since I was in middle school. Caring for kids has always come naturally to me, and over the years that passion has grown into hands-on experience across many ages and settings. I previously owned and operated an indoor playground designed for toddlers and young children, where I created safe, engaging spaces centered around play, creativity, and early development. Today, I work as a preschool teacher, supporting children’s learning, routines, and social-emotional growth every day. In addition to my professional childcare experience, I’m also a baker and a full-time crafter, which means creativity is always part of my caregiving. Baking simple treats, hands-on crafts, sensory activities, and imaginative projects are naturally woven into my time with children in fun, age-appropriate, and safe ways. As a mom, I understand how important trust, consistency, and routines are for children to feel secure. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with safety always as my top priority. I truly love working with children and take pride in creating a warm, engaging environment where kids feel happy, confident, and cared for and where parents feel at ease knowing their children are in loving, capable hands.

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

I truly love kids and have been a nanny for over 3 years. I've cared for children from ages 10 months to 7years. Toddlers are my jam, as I am patient and great a redirection. My strong points are that I respect the parents I work with and always honor their parenting style, and I love to give children space to explore and learn, but stay close enough to keep them safe, which is my number one priority.

"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!"
