Hailey $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m currently a college student at SCF. I am also CPR certified!!I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and have gained a lot of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns through age 14. Growing up with several siblings also gave me experience with childcare from a young age. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have previously babysat for a family with six children. My childcare experience includes helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, tidying up around the house, playing games and doing activities, taking children to the park or other activities, and following bedtime routines. I always strive to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where children can have fun while receiving the attention and care they need. I also have experience providing pet care and absolutely love animals. I have cared for pets through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight or extended pet sitting while families are away. I’m comfortable following individual pet routines and making sure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, pets, and home, and I would be happy to provide reliable care for 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!"

"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."
