Hello, my name is Vera , and I have experience raising my two daughters and three grandchildren. I am a retired psychologist who loves to help children develop their early communication skills.
Hi, my name is Maggie! I’m 19 years old and work full time at State Farm during the week (9–5). I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, babysitting for neighbors and cousins of different ages. I’m responsible, patient, and love spending time with kids. I’m also about to be CPR certified for added safety. At home, I have a gentle Great Dane named Archie, so I’m very comfortable with pets as well. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive. I’m available to babysit weekday evenings after 5 PM and on weekends, whether you need help for a date night or extra support while you work.
Hi! I’m Meryl, a mom of three wonderful kids (ages 10, 7, and 5) with a lifelong love of caring for children. I have years of hands-on experience with kids of all ages through babysitting, caring for family members, and raising my own children.

"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."
