I have raised 3 wonderful, successful children. I was keeping my grandson the past year and am doing Senior Dementia care most mornings so needing hours to complete the week and enjoy taking care of others. I have done my time in the corporate world too. Please consider my gifts to help your family! Everyone deserves kindness and grace. I am a teacher by trade so have the education qualification as well as experience. Thank you, Carol

Beth $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! It brings me so much joy to care for people and pets of all ages! I worked as an occupational therapy assistant (primarily with the elderly) for 35 years! I also worked in that capacity in schools (with elementary children) for a few years! My current role is as a nanny for an infant and a toddler! I've had cats and dogs as pets my whole life and have lovingly cared for my family and friends animals over the years too! My interests include art, music, cooking, gardening and reading . I try to incorporate all of these while caregiving as much as possible!

Kristine $18 per hour for 1 child

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!

I am a compassionate, patient, and attentive individual who understands the unique needs of children. My ability to communicate effectively, provide a safe and nurturing environment, and engage kids in meaningful, age-appropriate activities makes me an excellent caregiver. Additionally, my reliability, adaptability, and commitment to fostering their growth and development ensure that children feel supported and cared for in my presence. I love children and have worked managing a children’s museum that was very hands on with child care. Im currently finishing my Masters degree in education to be an elementary teacher.

"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!"
