Hi! My name is Hilary, and I’m a nursing student at Simmons University. I’m genuinely passionate about well-being, caregiving, and helping families feel supported. I’m also interested in pediatrics long-term, so working with kids is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I have been a care taker for more than 5 years. I’m offering care for children ages 2–10 and also senior care,companionship. I have experience working in assisted living, so I’m comfortable supporting older adults with patience, respect, and attention to safety. I can help with babysitting and age-appropriate play/activities (2–10), meal prep / light cooking, light cleaning and tidying up, run errands and helpful tasks around the house. I’m reliable, calm, patient, and caring. I pay attention to details, I communicate clearly, and I take safety seriously. I’m the type of person who shows up on time, follows instructions, and treats your home and your loved ones with respect. If you’re looking for someone dependable and warm to support your child or an older family member, feel free to message me

Alex $25 per hour for 1 child

Kids are fantastic to work with. They have fantastic imaginations and a beautiful enthusiasm for so many parts of life. I love having the chance to hear about their favorite cartoon, sing along to their favorite Disney songs, and see the amazing ideas they come up with. I'm happy to play with kids, but I also take it seriously when there are rules they need to follow. Eating healthy snacks. Brushing their teeth. Going to bed. Those rules may not be things kids always want to do, but don't worry. I'll follow your schedule to a T. After all, kids also need the structure (and clean teeth) that come with less-fun habits. I am also experienced and capable at providing support for seniors, pets, or with numerous household tasks. I follow schedules well, pay attention to my charge's needs, and keep an eye on all the important details in my work. For seniors that means listening and treating them with respect. For pets it's paying attention for any mischief while caring for them. And for household chores, I just take pride in making sure I leave my workplace properly cleaned and organized. Whatever it is you need, I'm glad to help!

"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!"
