Catherine Sampson $18 per hour for 1 child

As a driven educator with a Master's degree in Technical Communication and a Bachelor's in English Literature, I have over five years of tutoring experience specializing in creative writing, essay editing, and technical writing. Beyond tutoring, I have a diverse background in working with children and young learners: I spent several years as a part‑time ice skating instructor, served as a camp counselor at Camp Allen for two summers, worked at a church during Vacation Bible School and provided babysitting care for three families throughout high school. These experiences strengthened my ability to connect with students of different ages and cultures, foster patience and create supportive environments. My teaching philosophy centers on cultivating a collaborative and encouraging space where students feel empowered to express their ideas and improve their writing skills. I strive to connect with each learner by understanding their unique perspectives and goals, guiding them toward both academic success and personal growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy writing fiction and following current events. I am dedicated to helping students not only excel academically but also discover and refine their own voice through writing.

Hili $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Hili, a graduate student with a passion for working with kids. When I’m not buried in textbooks, you’ll find me enjoying time with little ones, whether it’s helping with homework or just having a fun time together. I have experience tutoring math to a 4th grader, so I know how to make learning feel like a breeze—and a little bit of fun too! I'm looking forward to bringing my energy and care to your family!

Vilmarie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience in early childhood education and ~4 years of experience babysitting. I was an Early Head Start and Disabilities Coordinator and I am now an Early Learning Specialist focusing on coaching teachers of children under the age of 3. I have extensive experience working with children of varying ages and needs. When working with children, I always aim to be incredibly present and attentive in order to best respond to their needs. I follow the motto "control the environment, not the child", which allows me to create incredibly safe environments while ensuring children feel confident in exploring their space. Also, I love being active and silly when babysitting! Sports, arts and crafts, book reading, singing (albeit very off-key), messy sensory exploration, and awkward Zumba dancing are all activities I love participating in with young children. As a native Spanish speaker, you'll also find me introducing the language quite often into conversations or through music. I am CPR and First-Aid certified as well as a Certified Autism Specialist.

"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!"
