Alexey $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexey and I am a 25 year old artist living in New Orleans. Caring for children has always been an interest of mine. I taught swim lessons to children back in my home town and I have also volunteered once a year at orphanages in underprivileged countries for the past 5 years. Pets also have a special place in my heart because I come from a family of farmers and grew up on a ranch. I have 2 kitties of my own now! In my grandparents final years I took them to appointments, took care of their home, and loved spending time with them and hearing their stories. I have a lot of free time so if you are in need of a care giver of any kind, at any time- I’m your girl! :)

Jovan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jovan. Here's what you should know about me: I understand what it means to juggle multiple jobs, school and paternal responsibilities. I have experience with children ages 6wks to 18 yrs old. My previous education experience includes being a Paraprofessional/Ast. Teacher, RTI Lab Instructor (response to intervention), working with students that have 504 accommodations, Lead Infant &Toddler Preschool Teacher, and working with my own daughter prior to kindergarten. My most recent position was teaching 4th Grade ELA. In this role, I increased 4th grade Mastery LEAP scores by 6 percentage points. Other experience includes Supervisory, training development and management roles. This means, I'm a creative leader. I work well with kids because in all the seriousness and hustle and bustle, I never lost my imagination. I set standards and I use a holistic approach that will encourage your kids to be good people! All kids can learn and I challenge them to do so! Other things about me are: My name is Jovan and I'm a chocoholic! I love movies! My daughter and I have 80's movie nights. I love reading and learning new things. My friends don't Google, they Jovan! Lol. I'm a first generation college student and I love helping other first gens! I'm extremely close to my family and it's something I value. If selected for your position, I hope to be considered extended family!

Daleasia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. While I don't have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience caring for children through family and friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm currently an online student, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I also work in retail part time primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and weekends. Because of my schedule, I'm mainly available during weekday daytime hours, with some additional availability depending on the week. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, games, crafts, homework, simple meals, and keeping children safe and entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I'll always do my best to provide reliable and thoughtful care. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more information about myself!

Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Chalmette, LA

Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a senior at Tulane University, where I am studying psychology (specifically child psychology) as well as political science. I have lived in Boston my whole life, but my mom is from NOLA so I have spent a lot of time here growing up, and I loved it so much I had to come to school here! I have been officially working with kids since the summer of 2022 where I worked as a counselor at a sleep away camp for seven weeks. I have worked at that camp every summer since, and have acquired many different skills that allow me to work well with children. I have also been babysitting for neighbors and family friends since I was around 13. Since then, I have gotten my lifeguard certification which makes me CPR, AED, and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I am extremely patient, especially when it comes to kids with special needs or preferences. On top of this, I have been raised with pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and am very happy to take care of them too! I have my drivers license and a car with me at school, so I would be able to do pick ups and drop offs if needed.

"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!"
