Hello! My name is Imee. I'm caring, patient, and reliable person who truly enjoys being around children. I come from a very family-oriented background and have experience caring for kids through family care, including my nieces and nephews. I'm happy to offer childcare and household services, and i enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I can assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, laundry, organizing, and simple meal preparation, in addition to caring for your child. When caring for children, I love engaging them in creative and calm activities such as painting, drawing, simple arts and gentle play. I believe these activities help children feel relaxed, happy and supported. I'm currently looking for a part-time, weekday-only position (no weekends) and would love the opportunity support your family for a few hours a day.
I have experience with kids for one and half year because I was a Au pair and I worked with kids between 2 years and 11 years old also I am responsable and active person And I was housecleaner also I took care a older person too I love the animals too
Hi! I’m Kiley, a 31 year old professional who works on the Hill in operations. I am from Tucson, AZ and spent the majority of my high school and college years babysitting for a couple of the same families consistently and also house sitting. I enjoy yoga and riding horses in my free time. I have two bachelor degrees and a master’s degree from Texas A&M. I am looking for some occasional babysitting/nannying jobs and/or house sitting. Happy to chat more!
Every summer in high school I was a camp counselor for roughly six weeks, working with ages 4-10. I also frequently babysat during high school, usually ages 7-10. I am currently on my fourth season as a Girls on the Run coach for ages 8-10. I really enjoy spending time kids. I have always had a dog and typically take care of my dog when my parents are away. I am a responsible person and understand the effort required to take care of people (fur people include) and genuinely enjoy doing that!
Hi! My name is Patricia and caring for young kids has been something I have always loved to do. Their well being is my number one priority! I enjoy doing learning activities, arts and crafts and outdoor play. I have experience with children of all ages. I am always open to light cleaning/ cooking even running errands as needed!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
