Compassionate, patient, and highly attentive caregiver with a deep love for children and extensive hands-on experience in childcare within a church community. Currently preparing for motherhood, which further strengthens my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. Dedicated to creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children of all ages.
Hi, my name is Rokia! I am 19 years old and an upcoming junior in college studying Public Health to become a midwife! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and to support families in any way I can. I have 5 years of experience caring for children, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I care for a wide range of age groups starting from infants to school-age. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and enjoy engaging them with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable doing overnights, occasional babysitting for date nights, lending extra hand if you need to get work done, or if you just need some solo time! Feel free to message with any inquiries!
Love cats! I can take care of multiple cats including ones with special needs. Happy to do overnight pet sitting if your cats need someone around more than a few minutes a day.
Hi everyone! My name is Sherkira. I’m 21 years old, and I truly love working with children. I currently work at a private childcare center, where I’ve been for 3 years. During that time, I’ve cared for children ranging from 3 months to 4 years old. I grew up with many siblings and often took on the responsibility of helping care for them, so childcare has always come naturally to me. There’s nothing I’m more passionate about than watching children learn, grow, and discover new things. I’m CPR certified, and I take pride in keeping a clean and tidy environment—especially after a fun, messy activity! My schedule is Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 PM and ending whenever I’m needed.
I’m an experienced and energetic nanny and babysitter with several years of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I’ve successfully managed busy households with up to five children and multiple pets, keeping routines organized while creating a warm, fun environment for kids to grow and feel supported. I love engaging children through drawing, singing, and creative play, and I bring a naturally bubbly, positive personality to every family I work with. As a former camp counselor, I’m also experienced in leading groups of children, planning activities, and maintaining a safe, structured environment while making sure kids have a great time.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
