Kayley $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayley, I am a part time college student & I’ve been working with children for about five years. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. My experience includes working as an afterschool group leader, volunteer teacher, and neighborhood tutor/babysitter where I’ve worked with children of different ages, helped with homework and learning, led creative and recreational activities that supported their everyday routines and development. I’m patient, dependable, and nurturing and I love making each day a little more fun and meaningful. I have a Pediatric CPR/AED certification and am eager to continue building meaningful relationships with families and the children I care for.

Lyudmila $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lyudmila. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person with a lifetime of experience caring for children as a mother of two. I’m looking for part-time childcare work and can be especially helpful with school-age children. I can pick children up from school and bring them home, or handle both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up during the week. After school, I can prepare or warm up their meals, make sure they eat, help with homework, read books, play games, talk with them, and take them to the playground or for a walk. I’m happy to keep children company, keep them engaged, and make sure they are safe and comfortable until their parents come home. I’m patient, attentive, warm, and reliable. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am also a fluent Russian speaker and would be happy to speak Russian with your child if you would like. I would be happy to become a dependable and caring person your family can count on. Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Людмила. Я заботливый, ответственный и надежный человек, у меня большой жизненный опыт общения и ухода за детьми — я мама двоих детей. Я ищу работу по уходу за детьми на неполный рабочий день и особенно хорошо могу помочь семьям с детьми школьного возраста. Могу забирать ребенка из школы и приводить домой, а также при необходимости отводить утром в школу и забирать после школы в течение недели. После школы я могу разогреть или приготовить ребенку еду, проследить, чтобы он поел, помочь с домашним заданием, почитать книжки, поиграть, поговорить с ребенком, погулять или сходить на площадку. Я могу спокойно и с вниманием заниматься ребенком до прихода родителей. Я терпеливая, внимательная, добрая и надежная. Я понимаю, как важно родителям иметь человека, которому они могут доверять своего ребенка. Я также свободно говорю по-русски и могу разговаривать с ребенком на русском языке, если родители этого хотят. Буду рада стать надежным и заботливым человеком, на которого ваша семья сможет рассчитывать.

"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!"
