My name is Ava, and I am an 18-year-old caregiver with experience in babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have approximately four years of hands-on experience caring for children and over eight years of experience working with animals. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, clean, and positive environment for families and pets. I have three to four years of experience caring for toddlers and grade-school children. While my experience with infants is limited, I am eager and willing to learn. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines such as getting children ready for school or bed, preparing basic meals, helping with homework, and maintaining schedules. I enjoy engaging children through activities like coloring, watching shows, playing games, and taking them to parks or fun outings. I also have my own car, allowing me to safely transport children to and from school or activities when needed. Additionally, I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. In terms of pet care, I have experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Cane Corsos to Yorkies—as well as reptiles and small animals. My services include feeding, walking, playing, basic training, cage cleaning, and general care. I have no allergies and am comfortable caring for long-haired animals and pets of any size. For household support, I offer cleaning, tidying, laundry, organizing, plant care, cooking basic meals, and running errands. I can also provide my own cleaning supplies if required. I take pride in being dependable, adaptable, and attentive to the unique needs of each household.
Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting as a fun and flexible side-gig. I have an associate’s degree as an ultrasound technologist and currently work as a software developer, so I bring both a medical background and strong problem-solving skills to my caregiving style. I have experience caring for my 6-month-old niece and have babysat friends’ children ranging from toddlers to teens (ages 2 to 15). I’ve also supported seniors and have plenty of experience with pets—I have both cats and dogs—so I’m very comfortable helping with multi-care households. I love caregiving because kids are genuinely fun to be around, and I enjoy creating an environment that’s safe, engaging, and nurturing. I’d describe my approach as “fun but firm”—I like to keep things playful while still maintaining structure. A little about me: I enjoy playing the ukulele, singing, and sewing. I’m creative, patient, and love bringing activities that spark imagination and joy. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
I currently work as a preschool and PRE-K teacher and am up-to-date with my CPR, First-aid and fire safety. I have Multiple early childhood education trainings and am in college for an early childhood degree. I enjoy teaching a lot and love watching the next generation of kids grow!
I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,

"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!"
