Austin $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! After successfully completing my time in the Navy, I'm currently working as a Field Service Engineer at a tech company but want to save more money for college and law school. Growing up, I took care of my sister off and on while my parents were out. When I turned 15, I started working as a lifeguard at my hometown's water park. And when I was 19, I worked for 6 months as a lifeguard at Disney World's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Contemporary Resort. I have spent most of my life taking care of kids and keeping them entertained but safe. I really enjoyed that work and hope I can achieve that again for you and your child.

Hannah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a senior nursing student at George Fox University. I’ve been caring for children of all ages for the past 7 years, and I’m passionate about child development, safety, and creating a fun, nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive. I’m CPR and BLS certified for adults and pediatrics, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m a strong student and would love to help with homework, encourage learning, and find engaging, age-appropriate activities for children. I’m also a great cook and happy to help with meal preparation, tidying up, laundry, and maintaining a clean, organized home. I understand how busy family life can get, and I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands that parents can trust. Beyond childcare, I have experience in senior care and caring for a wide variety of animals, including large and small dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, and snakes. I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and routines, and I approach every responsibility with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, organized, proactive, and caring. My nursing education has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to stay attentive to others’ needs. Above all, I want the families I work with to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones and homes are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted, reliable part of your family’s support system!

"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!"
