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!

Kelsey $22 per hour for 1 child

Bringing eight years of experience working with children aged newborn to 11, I'm eager to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones. My background includes a college degree, coursework in Early Child Development, and experience as a Certified Teacher. I'm also certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. I will communicate with you daily, providing updates via text or phone and in person at pickup. Motivated by my positive experiences babysitting and a desire to support families, I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my passion for childcare to your family and create a fun and safe space for your children to grow and learn.

I am currently working as a part time care giver and helps take care of my grandchildren ages 2, 7 and 9 on my days off. I used to work as a teacher aide when I first arrived in the US, I decided to leave to help my daughter when she first gave birth, now her kids are older and I am looking for something meaningful to do on my free days.

Aduneya $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked at an elementary school taking care of 25 kids. Being creative and finding activities for kids to do is very important. Painting, drawing, any games that they like. It’s also very important to lead Children to make sure rules are followed so they are safe at all times. Through getting to know them and being a good listener, over time they will feel more comfortable.

"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!"
