Patricia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am a retired teacher, mother and grandmother. I am a pet lover as well and would be happy to walk the dog or cuddle with the cat. I am quite active and swim 5 days a week. Most of my teaching experience was in elementary and I also taught art, so I could tutor and help your child with their homework. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Pria $18 per hour for 1 child

I grew up caring for a lot of my younger cousins, so I know how to handle chaos. I find kiddos to be very intresting little people, and love the times I get to spend with them. I would love to help be a support in kids' lives that I knew I needed when I was younger. I live with three dogs and two cats, and in the past I've cared for guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and lizards. No animal is too much for me to handle. I love them and I love being around them!

"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!"

"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."
