Tamara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m a 4th grade teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience, and I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — and I bring my classroom experience into every sitting job, whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or keeping little ones engaged in creative play. Along with childcare, I’m also experienced in household management, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Gabrielle $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a high school senior with a strong sense of responsibility and a natural ability to care for others. I have experience looking after younger children, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I also worked as a sales associate at Frost Bake Shop, where I’ve developed strong customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay organized in a fast-paced environment. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and organized, with a positive attitude and strong communication skills that help me build trust with both families and those I care for.

"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!"
