Hello my name is Latasha. I am a mother of two young adults. I have much experience with all people from all ages; ranging from new born to seniors.

Brit $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Brit, an energetic, creative, and experienced caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers! My love for working with kids started early, tutoring younger students in reading and math and babysitting throughout high school. In college, I worked as a Direct Support Professional for children with disabilities, and later spent several years nannying for families in Chicago. I'm outgoing, patient, playful, and a little silly! I love encouraging curiosity, creativity, learning, and adventure while creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids can thrive. I'm also a great tutor, an excellent housekeeper, and happy to help keep busy households running smoothly. Beyond childcare, I have extensive experience pet sitting and house sitting around the world. I'm responsible, adaptable, dependable, and genuinely enjoy caring for people, pets, and homes. I bring lots of energy, warmth, and enthusiasm to everything I do—and I can't wait to meet you!

Ray $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ray and I have over a decade of childcare and tutoring experience, ranging from infants all the way up to high school. I studied inclusive education and fine arts at Houghton College in western New York. Though my childcare experience started at a young age babysitting, I have worked in professional settings as a nanny and teacher for kids of all ages. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for three years. I am currently working part time as a server on the weekends, but would love to get the chance to work with kids again! I have worked as a nanny and tutor for years, assisting with homework of all subjects. I also have experience with household errands such as cleaning, shopping, and laundry. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and have lived with cats and/or dogs my whole life.

"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!"
