I have worked in childcare for the last 3 years. Throughout my experience I have learned to supervise children effectively to foster a safe and nurturing atmosphere while promoting developmental growth. Supported parents with guidance and resources to enhance their parenting skills and strengthen family dynamics. As a lifelong animal lover and responsible caregiver, I offer dependable, loving, and personalized pet sitting services. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or just a walk and some playtime, I treat every pet like my own with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats with all kinds of personalities. I understand how important it is to maintain routines.

Sanaa $20 per hour for 1 child

As an experienced and dedicated babysitter, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and support to the children under my supervision. I have always had a passion for working with children and have spent the past 6 years honing my skills and knowledge in childcare. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work with children of various ages, ranging from infants to pre-teens. This diverse experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and developmental stages of children. My approach to babysitting centers around creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I prioritize their well-being and strive to foster their physical, intellectual, and emotional growth. I am adept at preparing nutritious meals and snacks, organizing educational activities, assisting with homework, and coordinating recreational outings. In addition to my practical skills, I am certified in pediatric first aid and CPR, ensuring that I can respond effectively in emergency situations. I possess excellent communication skills, allowing me to establish strong relationships with both children and parents. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and working collaboratively with parents to ensure their child's needs are met. I am confident that my compassionate nature, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure make me a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I take my responsibilities seriously and genuinely enjoy engaging with children, helping them learn and grow while keeping their safety and happiness at the forefront.

Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. Much of my experience comes from being deeply involved in caring for my four nieces and four nephews from infancy through their high school years and beyond. While not day-to-day, my involvement has been extensive and consistent during the times I was needed, full weekends, outings, and family trips where I managed meals, activities, errands, and daily routines. During those periods, I naturally stepped in as an extension of their parents, creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment. Children connect with me easily - I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely present, which helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I focus on keeping children engaged, active, and cared for, whether that’s preparing simple meals, getting outside, playing games, helping with homework, or creating a calm, easy rhythm at home. Outside of caregiving, I run a home organizing and downsizing business, which reflects my thoughtful, organized, and detail-oriented approach. Available for part-time, after-school, and occasional care.
