Bet $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsabe, but everyone calls me Bet 🙂 I'm a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver. I might be a little shy with adults at first, but I'm completely silly and fun with children! I have 10 years of extensive childcare experience, including 1 year of professional caregiving here in the USA. My experience spans all age groups, from newborns to teenagers. My primary language is Spanish, so I'm happy to help children practice their Spanish language skills! Also, one of my personal goals is to improve my English, which makes me even more motivated to communicate clearly and engage. I truly enjoy making little friends and creating warm and loving connections with children. I focus on providing a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where children feel supported, cared for, and comfortable being themselves. I use my diverse skills in Photography, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, Sports (Running, Cycling, Soccer, Swimming), and Dance to encourage creativity, healthy habits, and fun learning in every interaction. I am also happy to provide homework assistance and tutoring. I have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record for safe transportation, if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am happy to help care for family pets (dogs, cats, etc.) as needed. Professional Credentials: • Red Cross - Advanced Child Care Training Course Certificate. • First Aid and CPR Certified. • Childcare Accident Prevention Promoter. Specialized Training: • MIDO expert for girls and adolescents. • Focus on boys and girls growing up healthy. • Integrating Arts and Science into children's lives.

I’m a caring, dependable caregiver who brings a little fun into every day! I’ve worked with kids, seniors, and pets, helping with everything from homework and bedtime routines to companionship and daily support. I love creating a safe, positive environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and even gets to smile a little more. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged, making sure seniors feel respected and cared for, or giving pets the attention they deserve, I’m all in. I also help keep the home running smoothly with light cleaning, organizing, and meal prep. With patience, empathy, and great time management, I make sure everything gets done while keeping the vibe warm and upbeat.

Hello , my name is Bella. I am a responsible college student with hands-on experience caring for young children. I began by caring for a relative’s child years ago during my high school years, and was later recommended to other families in my neighborhood. I also provide childcare at church events, supervising children and leading fun, structured activities. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe and positive environment. I can also assist with homework and light household tasks.

Bella was fantastic and did a great job with my daughter. Would/Will definitely hire again!

Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!
