George $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! My name is George, and I’m currently a full-time quality technician at Gedia. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I used to be a babysitter for my younger half-siblings for years, and I also have a kid of my own who is seven now. My responsibilities have included driving to and from school, helping with homework and tutoring, doing crafts, preparing meals, and keeping kids safe and entertained. I’m patient, dependable, responsible, and easygoing. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children and pets. I’m also comfortable caring for pets and helping with everyday household tasks. I take pride in being attentive, respectful, and making sure everyone is well cared for while you’re away.

$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dalton, GA

Hello, my name is Bri and I’m excited to offer comprehensive pet sitting, babysitting, and house care services to your family. With a diverse background in both childcare and animal care, I bring a warm, professional approach to every task. I hold a substitute certification and have hands-on experience in daycare and substitute roles, where I not only ensured the safety and well-being of children but also engaged them in fun, educational activities—ranging from creative arts and crafts to outdoor play. I truly enjoy making learning and playtime a memorable experience. My passion for caring extends to animals as well. Over the years, I have cared for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and bunnies, both as a pet owner and through my work at a vet clinic and a boarding facility. This experience has given me a solid understanding of different breeds and their needs, and I am comfortable with caring for any animal. In addition, while I may not have traditional job experience in household services, I have been trusted with maintaining families’ homes during their absence. My background includes working as a janitor at the job I managed, ensuring high standards and excellent cleanliness scores. I also offer services such as running errands, laundry, and organizing. I am happy to work with you on what supplies I can or cannot bring to best suit your home. I look forward to providing personalized, reliable care that ensures your children, pets, or home receive the attention they deserve. Thank you for considering me as your trusted caregiver.
