Pauline Sanford
$18 per hour for 1 child

As a compassionate and dedicated caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care to individuals in need. With a strong background in supporting the elderly, and caring for children, I offer a combination of empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I am skilled in assisting with daily activities such as meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and mobility support, while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I have a deep sense of responsibility and a strong connection to my family, both of which shaped my caring nature. Growing up in a big, close-knit family provided me with many valuable life lessons. My approach is always client-centered, respecting their dignity and promoting independence wherever possible. I am eager to bring my skills and nurturing attitude to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.

Greetings! My name is Taryn, I'm a recent graduate interested in pursing career paths in childcare. My main interest include reading, baking, sewing, and much more! I have mostly worked with toddler through elementary but would love to gain experience in other age ranges. My experience also includes working with children on the spectrum while maintaining a safe and calm environment. I value establishing trust and reliability with not only the parents but also the children to provide the best care possible. My main services include, childcare, pet care, and household cleaning. However, if there is something else that i'm missing I would love to chat to see if I can be of help!

$22 per hour for 1 child

I’m Michelle and I’m very good with children. I have been working as a nanny for the past 5 years and I have plenty of experience caring for children and seeking to deliver child care excellence. I’m trustworthy, loyal, responsible, punctual, flexible and a loving and dedicated babysitter. I’m from Colombia so my native language is Spanish and I love to teach a second language to the children. I’m looking for a full time position (20-25 guaranteed hrs per week). I would love find a family who I could grow and partner and provide a happy and safe environment for the children.
