Danielle $19 per hour for 1 child

I am your sitter for Date Night, Couples Night, Party Night, or some ME time. I am a grandmother of six. Four currently live with me and I enjoy watching and playing with them. My mom use to own a daycare and I would help her with the children. People have always told me I was good with children. I understand wanting to go out and not have a babysitter. I’m your girl. Call me, I’ll come and watch the kids while you have a good time and your children will be safe when you come back.

Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.

Hi! My name is Raquel, and I’m a loving mom offering babysitting in a safe, nurturing home environment. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your little one. I have hands-on daily experience caring for infants and young children and focus on creating a calm, fun, and structured space where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy age-appropriate play, reading, tummy time, and helping little ones stay on their routines. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
