Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

Csilla $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom to 2 teenaged boys and have 20+ years teaching experience, mostly at the secondary level. I have significant experience working with children with a variety of special needs and allergy protocols. I am an advocate of limited screen time for children and am happy to read, play board games, and spend time outdoors with them. I have always had a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I am looking for occasional work on weekends and during school breaks.

"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!"
