Azaria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently a college student looking to help out families in need. I’m in the USMC reserves and I have a lot of free time. I grew up in a full house, I have 5 siblings and I share the middle! I would always and still do lookout for my younger siblings so I know a thing or two about kids. I used to coach at a high school so I was certified in first-aid/CPR.

Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mia. I’ve always loved caring for children, and it brings me so much joy to make kids feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m naturally sweet, nurturing, and patient, and I truly enjoy connecting with little ones and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I’m creative and energetic, and I love being outdoors, exploring, and doing fun, educational activities that help kids learn in playful, hands-on ways. I’ve also spent time volunteering at my church daycare, which gave me wonderful experience working with children of different ages and personalities. At home, I care for my dog Bambi, who has taught me a lot about responsibility and routine. I also help take care of my grandmother, who has dementia. Supporting her has given me a deeper compassion for others, especially those who need extra patience, love, and understanding — and I bring that same level of care to every family I work with. I’m reliable, gentle, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your child feels safe, cared for, and truly valued. Their comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I’m available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday evenings, and Saturdays, and I’d love the chance to get to know your family.
