Hello, I have been working with children for many years and adore working with all children, especially, the terrible two's! I have cared for both of my elderly parents, and many pets through the years. I would like to work with many more.

Breanna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Breanna. I currently work in childcare and have over 3 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from meals and bedtime routines to crafts, outdoor play, and keeping kids engaged throughout the day. My goal is always to create a fun, caring, and dependable environment where children feel happy and parents have peace of mind.

Freddie $18 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a freshman at Elmhurst University in Illinois, and play for the volleyball team. I am studying marketing. I grew up in Las Vegas and attend Bishop Gorman High School. I come to Vegas during school breaks and work there as well as in Elmhurst. My older sister has two kids that I have been helping with since I was 11. They are now the ages of 7 and 1. I drive now so I take them to their extracurricular activities and entertain them with fun activities including crocheting, knitting, painting, coloring, playing outside, as well as cooking. I am super comfortable helping with running errands and cleaning around the house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs so working with animals is no problem! I love playing with animals as well as taking them out for walks!

"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!"
