Madison $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Maddy and I am a student at the University of South Florida. I am offering child-care and dog-care services (open to other pets, just no previous experience). I love working with children, and I have experience with all ages, and I have worked the most with ages 4-9. I have experience driving children, making simple meals, tutoring, arts and crafts, and gymnastics coaching! I worked at Little Feet Children’s Shoes and North Shore Gymnastics Association in high school and have babysat for my younger cousins. I am comfortable with dogs and have watched dogs for family and friends. I look forward to working with you!

Makya $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all ages. I currently work as a Special Education Assistant with Minneapolis Public Schools, where I support students with diverse needs, including behavioral, emotional, and developmental support. As a mom of three, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience maintaining clean and organized homes through my cleaning business, so I naturally keep spaces tidy and comfortable. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported and giving parents peace of mind.

Nancy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver with a background in working with kids and supporting families. I’m also a mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home. I have experience with school-age children and teens, and I’m especially strong with homework help, organization, and keeping kids on track in a positive, low-stress way. I’m patient, engaging, and good at explaining things in a way kids actually understand. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and keeping things running smoothly while you’re busy. I also enjoy being active with kids, whether that’s getting outside, doing creative activities, or just making sure they feel comfortable and supported. Families would describe me as dependable, easy to communicate with, and someone who genuinely cares. I’m flexible and available for last-minute or occasional needs as well.

"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!"
