Jennifer $30 per hour for 1 child

Mother of two successful female college graduates looking for extra income in my off season. I work as a self employed Landscape Architect and have flexible time throughout the season. I realize I miss having kiddos around and love to spend time, teach, cook, play with them. I taught cooking school for kids so that’s an activity I have lots of experience with! I love pets too and happy to take both human and fur babies on urban adventures.

Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Mia. I’m a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish. I have 1 year of professional experience working in childcare, where I’ve had the opportunity to work at three different schools and learn a variety of teaching styles and approaches. In addition, I volunteered at a Boys & Girls Club during high school, which gave me valuable experience working with children in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through engaging and age-appropriate activities. I’m also a great cook and love trying out new recipes! I enjoy preparing healthy and tasty snacks that kids love. Im a reliable helper when it comes to keeping things tidy and assisting with cleaning around the home. Outside of childcare, I enjoy being outdoors—especially hiking—and I’m currently studying coding. I’m excited to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your little ones!
