Alexa $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexa and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!

"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!"
