Hi there! I'm a former preschool teacher preparing to apply for nursing school. My experience in childcare started with eight years of working alongside my mom, who owns an at-home daycare, helping to look after both infants and toddlers throughout the workday. I adore working with kids and have been blessed to have been able to help care for such wonderful children in numerous settings for the past few years.

Hello! I’m Sophia, a Social Work student with hands-on experience caring for children from infants to teens, including current work as an after-school program teacher and previous experience in daycare settings. I’m CPR certified, extremely reliable, and have a warm, patient, and emotionally supportive approach with children of all ages. I’ve also assisted with companion care for individuals with developmental delays, providing medication reminders, errands, and uplifting daily support. I’m a huge animal lover with professional experience in dog daycare environments, pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for a wide range of pets — including cats, dogs, small animals, and reptiles. Additionally, I enjoy organization, household maintenance, event planning, and helping families stay on track with daily routines. I can also help as a personal assistant.

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.

"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!"
