$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!

Hi! My name is Emmalee, and I am currently working as a medication technician while continuing my education in healthcare. I am offering child care, senior care, and household assistance. I have a strong passion for caring for others and hope to work closely with children in the future. While most of my experience has been in healthcare, I have developed valuable skills such as patience, responsibility, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I am CPR certified and confident in handling emergencies if they arise. I am happy to help with daily routines such as meal prep, light housekeeping, activities, and keeping children engaged and safe. I enjoy creating a positive and comfortable environment for the families I work with.
