Tasia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is T’Asia, and I am a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider. I am also a mother to two young children—a 3-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl—which has given me hands-on experience with infants and toddlers and a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and safety. I provide a nurturing and structured environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn through play. I am experienced with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, potty training support, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, music, and outdoor play. As a parent, I understand how important trust and communication are. I take pride in being attentive, reliable, and respectful of each family’s preferences and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I remain calm and patient in all situations. I am happy to help with light childcare-related tasks, including meal prep for children and tidying play areas. I look forward to working with a family who values loving, dependable care and open communication. References are available upon request.

I'm a dedicated and energetic babysitter with 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a military background, which has instilled in me discipline, reliability, and strong organizational skills. I love working with kids, creating fun and engaging activities, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have CPR and First Aid training (in progress), and I'm comfortable driving, assisting with homework, and helping around the house with light housekeeping. I'm available for part-time and/or full time positions and bring enthusiasm, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. Your children's safety, growth, and happiness are my top priorities!

Frances came through for me on short notice to babysit my son before school started. And she dropped him off safely as well. Thank you!

Marianna $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

"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!"
