Rashema $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rashema and I’m currently working in healthcare in a patient care setting. I am offering childcare, and household services. I love working with children and have been working with them (infants, toddlers and teenagers) since I was 14 years old, in both professional and personal settings. My responsibilities have included at home babysitting, helping with homework, etc. I’ve worked at a daycare, briefly worked as an Registered Behavioral Technician where I worked 1 on 1 with a child with autism, and I have worked in patient with teenage girls who struggle with eating disorders. I am not allergic to any pets so I am open and able to work with families with pets! (I had 2 pairs of birds as pets when I was younger).

Sarina $20 per hour for 1 child

As an older sibling of three, I have been taking care of little ones since I can remember. I babysat neighbors and family friends since I was 14, and have worked with children of all ages in school-based settings throughout high school and college. I grew up with dogs and cats and am familiar and comfortable taking care of furry friends as well. Currently, I am a Master's of Social Work student at Simmons University and work at a group home with teenagers. I am very comfortable around kids of all ages and can be kind, playful, and compassionate while reinforcing expectations. I have experience working with youth with complicated mental health diagnoses and complex needs, as well as neurodivergent kiddos. I am also extremely clean, able to take care of house plants, and love to cook! In my free time, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, and crafting, and I enjoy being creative with the little ones I watch. I also love being outside and active! :)
