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!

Hey!!! I am Leah, a 23-year-old social work/early childhood education student. I am a lead VPK teacher at a daycare facility in Palm Beach County. I provide babysitting, tutoring, and mentoring services for all ages. I have been tutoring and working with children for about 10 years, started with my little sister being born. I’m all about child safety and development. I have completed my 40 DCF hours and have obtained my Children’s Development Associate (CDA). I have experience with newborns to high school, from childcare to tutoring. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I like bring activities like painting, building, reading, coloring, or even crocheting, dependent on the age and interests. I used to work at Disney, so I’m just a big ball of energy!! CANCELLATIONS: If you need to cancel, no problem! Just out of common curiosity, I ask for 50% of the time booked for cancellations within the 24-hour window. If the cancellation occurs on the day of the booking, I request 75% of the time booked. MINIMUM BOOKING: I have a 4-hour minimum for all shifts. For bookings under 4 hours, I charge a flat rate (travel included). For anything 4 hours or more, it is my standard hourly rates.

“Leah was wonderful with our child. Great communication, great experience, highly recommend her!”

"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!"
