Hi, my name is Sharon - a Joy carrier and easy to work with. I have a lot of experience babysitting and I’ve worked with different companies like SitterTree, etc. I love children and the light and joy they bring to this world. I have worked with special needs children and it’s amazing and a blessing to work with them as well. I can also run errands, household duties and any work that needs to be done in the house. I also have some experience sitting elderly people - listening to wisdom is always key. God bless you ☺️

“Sharon was so wonderful! We appreciate her and Gerald so much for coming to our home and making it spotless!”

Hello, My name is Emily. I am offering child care and household services. I have been working with kids of all ages since I was 12. I am comfortable working with multiple children at a time as well. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and other activities, preparing meals, and providing children with fun activities to keep them engaged throughout the day. I can also help with homework as well as cook, clean, and do laundry if needed. I have no allergies to pets and can even assist in walking/feeding pets.

“Emily showed up on time, was very engaged with our child, and had a wonderful attitude. Would absolutely recommend her to friends and anyone in need of care!”

Betsy $22 per hour for 1 child

With 20 years of childcare experience and a Bachelor's degree in Child Development, I'm passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care tailored to each child's unique needs. I've worked as a full-time nanny for two children (a girl from 11 months to age 4 and a boy from birth to age 2), and I've also cared for a 3-month-old infant, plus served as a summer nanny for two children including a 10-year-old boy with autism. Beyond nanny care, I have extensive experience in child development centers, Pre-K classrooms, and as a summer camp counselor. During the pandemic, I was a virtual learning facilitator for five children (three kindergartners and two 2nd graders). I have particular expertise working with children with disabilities and English language learners, and I'm skilled at developing lesson plans and providing educational activities and support to enrich children's development. My Pediatric First Aid/CPR & SIDS certifications are current. I can also help with household management tasks and pet care! I have done both for many families and I have over 13 years of dog sitting experience.

"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!"
