Skylar $17 per hour for 1 child

My name is Skylar, I am currently a college student majoring in dental hygiene. I have plenty of experience with kids and pets since I was 14. I am very attentive and mindful when watching children and I practice with them in terms of communication, emotional regulation/support, and of course safety! I also carefully abide by any medication, eating, and bed time schedules. I strive to allow parents to go out on the town again knowing their babies are safe with hourly updates!!

Courtney 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”

"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!"
