Hii! I’m Jasmine. I’m 28 years old and some would call me the child whisperer. I worked for preschools with all ages from 2[removed] and babysat in my time off as well. From 2020-2024 I was a registered behavioral therapist working with kids that range from 2-10 years old. I have now split time as a middle school special education paraprofessional between APS & LPS since 2024. Kids have been my passion since high school, they give me such a spark that I never get tired of. While my main focus is child care I don’t mind a few pet favors here and there, I love dogs! I also don’t mind a little cleaning around the house. I mostly do this because I believe all parents deserve a fun night out! Enough of the chit chat though, hit me up anytime if you would like to get to know me better and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! My name is Isa and I am currently graduated from Mines. I have grown up with a passion for kids and animals coming from a big family in the Philippines, where I usually end up babysitting the younger kids. I do have experience with dog sitting in the area :). I am CPR certified through the red cross and have my own car!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but I go by Liz! I’ve been doing childcare full time since 2020, but have done consistent babysitting since 2018! I am CPR and first aid trained and am pursuing my bachelors in developmental psychology. I have a background in education with an emphasis on Montessori learning and love doing child-led activities so that they have independence and a sense of identity! If you think I might be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

"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!"
