Nina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

Lenora has taken care of both my kids for almost five years. They both adore her. She is experienced in early childhood education and is great with kids.
