Maddie $15 per hour for 1 child

Check out my care.com profile, for some family reviews:) [removed] About me! I've always loved working with kids and naturally connect with them. I'm currently a behavioral technician supporting children on the spectrum, and I love making a positive impact in their lives. Through this role, I've gained certified training in patience, attentiveness, and understanding children's behaviors - skills that carry over into babysitting every day. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and have my own reliable transportation. I'd describe my personality as caring, patient, and reliable. I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, whether that's through encouragement, keeping routines, or just having fun together through baby sitting. Babysitting gives me the chance to do more of what I love - spending time with little ones and creating a positive, safe environment. With open weekends, I'd love to spend my extra time helping families and caring for little ones. If you'd like to connect, I'd be happy to set up a quick phone or Zoom call!

Noelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’ve been working in childcare since 2016. I have a Child Development Associate (CDA) and currently work as a preschool teacher, a role I truly love and feel deeply called to do. Caring for young children has always been more than a job to me. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where children feel seen, supported, and secure. At the same time, I care deeply about supporting families by offering dependable, thoughtful care that allows them to rest, recharge, and prioritize themselves without worry. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, and I’m very comfortable following routines, guiding transitions, and meeting each child where they are developmentally. Whether we’re playing, reading, winding down for bedtime, or simply sharing a calm moment, my goal is always to help children feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away. Whether you’re looking for date night care, backup support, or an extra set of trusted hands, I would love to partner with your family and help lighten your load in 2026 and beyond!

Adalyn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, gained through my personal background. I grew up in foster care and spent much of my life helping care for my younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, and engaging kids in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playtime, as well as helping with light household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and errands. I’m dependable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust.
