Hi! My name is Kelly and I am a college senior with years of experience caring for children of all ages, from almost infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve helped raise my niece and nephews and started helping with childcare back home at a young age, so creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment became my day to day at some point. I love helping kids learn new things, whether it’s homework, numbers, new words, or just being curious about the world. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping them safe and happy. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help around the house with light cleaning, house sitting, organizing, and running errands. I also have experience caring for pets, especially cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, you name it. I’m here to support your family however I can with care that’s thoughtful and reliable.
“Kelly is such a sweet, kind, and honest person. My kids adored her company. Kelly made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her. ”
Hi, my name is Yullie, and I am a professional in the social studies field. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet sitting. I was a babysitter for 10 months in my country when I was at the University. I love to play with kids and use art as a tool for learning. I have been a caretaker of my grandparents and I am comfortable with senior care, I can drive to appointments, cook, and have a nice conversation. I love cats and dogs, and I’ll be happy to care for pets, all my life I have been a pet mom (dogs and cats), and I'm able to go for a walk, play, and feed your furry baby.
I’m a nurturing and dependable caregiver with experience caring for children and seniors. As the oldest of four, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role from a young age, supporting my own family and babysitting for family friends and neighbors. I’m patient, attentive, and optimistic, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment for those in my care. I’m currently available for occasional and last-minute care on Sundays–Wednesdays, depending on the week. I’m especially happy to help with short notice or one-time bookings! While I don’t transport children in my own vehicle, I’m comfortable staying on-site or using a family vehicle if needed.
“Donica is a great babysitter. My kid loved her and is constantly asking when she’ll be back. She’s patient, flexible, reliable and responsible. Her communication throughout is top tier. Donica truly has a way with children. If you’re looking for someone who is skilled and able to adjust to your schedule, she is the perfect candidate.”
Hi parents! My name is Madelyn, and I'm a freshman at Palm Beach Atlantic University. I moved to the area on August 14th and I'm excited to connect with families here! I've been babysitting consistently since I was 15 and have cared for kids ages 1 to 13. I'm mainly looking for date night or weekend care opportunities. If you'd like references, feel free to DM me-I'd be happy to share them! Since I have a bike for transportation, I'm hoping to find jobs local to me. A little about me: I'm studying Finance and Ministry, I love being outdoors, and I'll be competing as a track athlete at PBA this spring. Because of that commitment, parents should know that my schedule may sometimes be limited due to training and meets, but I always do my best to communicate clearly and plan ahead. I'm very outgoing, social, and responsible, and I'm also planning to get my CPR certification while living in West Palm Beach. I'd love to connect, so don't hesitate to reach out! I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them has always been something that brings me a lot of joy! While I'm a little allergic to cats, I'm happy to take allergy medication if needed so it doesn't get in the way of providing great care. I recently moved to West Palm Beach and have really been missing my dogs back home, which makes me even more excited for the chance to spend time with some furry friends here. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'd love the opportunity to help out and give your pets lots of love and attention!
I have a solid background in caregiving with experience supporting children,seniors,pets,and household .over the years, provided attentive childcare for infants through teens,offered companionship and assistance with daily living activities for seniors, and cared for pets of all kinds.im trained in first aid and CPR,and I’m comfortable handling meal prep,light housekeeping,medication reminders, and errands

"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!"
