I am a caring, responsible, and dependable caregiver with a natural love for helping families feel supported and at ease. I have experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, and I understand how important patience, attentiveness, and trust are in every home. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, whether it’s helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, or creating a safe and engaging environment. I bring a calm, positive energy and strong communication skills, and I always treat each home with respect and professionalism. I’m reliable, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections while providing high-quality care families can count on.
Hi, my name is Naika, and I have over 8 years of babysitting experience. I grew up as the oldest of five siblings, so caring for children and being responsible for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m a very compassionate, patient, trustworthy, and dependable person, and I genuinely enjoy being around children. I have experience caring for children from infants and toddlers to teenagers. I’m comfortable helping with meals, naps, homework, playtime, routines, and keeping children entertained with fun and age-appropriate activities. I always make sure the children in my care feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’m also CPR experienced and understand how important it is to always stay attentive when caring for children. I’m someone who is hands-on and engaged. I enjoy playing with kids, reading, doing activities, and making sure they have a positive experience while they’re in my care. I’m also respectful of each family’s rules and routines and will always follow the parents’ instructions. I’m happy to clean up after the children, including toys, meals, and activities, and help keep their space neat and organized. I understand that having a babysitter should make things easier for parents, not create more work for them. Most importantly, I truly care about the children I look after. I know how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their kids, and I take that responsibility seriously. I would love the opportunity to provide your family with reliable, loving, and attentive care.
Hi! I'm an FIU student, studying data analytics and business administration. I've got tons of experience with little ones – think toddlers and school-aged kids. I spent a whole summer, and parts of the school year, being a go-to for a fantastic 7-year-old boy. We had a blast! I was there for them for about 3 years, weekends, evenings, homework help, you name it. I'm super easygoing, patient, and gentle. I’m a big reader, so I'm always up for story time. And even if homework isn't their favorite thing, I'm great at finding ways to make it fun and engaging. I'm happy to pitch in with light household stuff too – a little cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, switching laundry, making snacks or dinner, whatever helps make your life a bit easier. I'm a great cook and a reformed picky eater so if you have one of those I'm the girl for the job! Also, I have a tree nut allergy myself, so I totally get the importance of allergy awareness and know how to use an EpiPen. Safety first! I'm excited to meet you and your family!
Hi, I'm Farrah! I'm a current nursing student and I love caring for both kids and pets. I offer babysitting and pet sitting. Child care: I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teens. With little ones, I focus on feeding, naps, diaper changes, and keeping them safe and happy. With older kids, I love coloring, playing games, and helping with homework. I also enjoy cooking and can make simple, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Pet care: I have experience with dogs and cats. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and cuddles. (I'm comfortable with large dogs and pets that shed.) Safety and training: I'm BLS/CPR certified, and my nursing training helps me stay calm, pay attention to details, and respond quickly if anything comes up. I treat every child and pet like they're my own. I'd love to meet your family!

"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
