Arhyana $16 per hour for 1 child

Child care: I’ve been my family’s babysitter for my cousins and siblings since a very young age, i’ve babysat the babies, toddlers, kids, and teens my entire life! I enjoy working with kids, I think they’re extremely bright and can become such wonderful people. I know that I am alternative looking and can be a little intimidating in that manner but I promise the way I look has no effect on my genuine love for what I do! Pet care: I love animals! I volunteer with kittens (young, just shy of adopting age) and I have owned a small dog all my life! I have dog sat for a VERY large boxer , a large doodle, a dog that was bigger than I am, and more. I love dogs!! Other animals i am not experienced with I am open to as long as there is clear care instructions 😊 Senior Care: I took care of my older family members for entire summers at a time, however I am not as experienced and would appreciate clear instructions here aswell. Other services: General house sitting, errands, etc. Light cleaning and organizing!

Booked by 9 families in Boca Raton, FL

Greetings!! I'm thrilled at the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Mikaela. I am a loving, kind, and genuine person who values responsibility, respect, and trust. My family-oriented nature and sociable personality make it easy for me to connect with others, and I believe in living life to the fullest by exploring new places, cooking, meeting new people, and enjoying each moment. As a wife and mother of a 13 year-old son, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Multi-Media Studies/New Media from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA in Healthcare Management from Western Governors University. I am a Practice Manager at Gastro Health-Pediatrics located in Boca Raton; where I bring my extensive business background and experience in Maternal Fetal Medicine, OB/GYN, and Pediatrics to support and advocate for others. You might be wondering, "What brought her to UrbanSitter?" Great question! I believe that children are a true blessing, and I am eager to meet and support other families in any way I can. I’ve always believed it takes a village to raise a child, and I know firsthand what that entails. I take joy in getting to know each child's unique personality, likes, and dislikes, and I always ask parents for this information to create a fun and educational plan for our time together. I focus on providing personalized, one-on-one attention to each child and enjoy engaging in a variety of activities, from arts and crafts to reading, singing, dancing, yoga, and sports. I’m also more than happy to assist with cooking and other household tasks if needed, and I make sure to clean up after every activity. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your family's needs. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. Sincerely, Mikaela C.

"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!"
