Molly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a current college student with about 2 years of experience with regular babysitting for close friends and family. On top of that I have worked in child development through the YMCA for the last 2 years as well. I have gained a lot of hands on experience as well as many hours of online child development training. Since my nephew was born I now have many hours of experience from kids 0-1 1/2. I have no problem cooking, cleaning, laundry, caring for pets, etc. as I enjoy helping others keep a clean space, which sometimes is difficult with the hustle of everyday life. I love being outdoors and teaching kids that you don't need a device to keep you entertained. Hoping to give a sense of peace and comfort to any families I work with!

Pet Service is my full time job! I am here with the dogs everyday. The pups are able to go in and out when they want to and get all the attention and care they need because of it. I fit my Schedule around our furry guests to make their stay with us the best they have ever had!

“Sam was responsive, on time, and sent photos during the day. Mau Loa was so happy and properly tired when I finally got home. Highly recommend.”
