Juanita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Juanita, a dependable, compassionate, and organized caregiver with over 28 years of professional experience in customer service, education, administration, and childcare. Although I work full-time in accounting, caring for children and supporting families has always been a passion of mine. I began babysitting early in adulthood and have experience in daycare centers, charter schools, private childcare, and as a teacher aide, caring for children from infancy through high school. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I can assist with homework, meal preparation, age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, transportation, and light childcare-related housekeeping. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am seeking part-time evening and weekend opportunities as a babysitter, nanny, or family assistant. My goal is to become a trusted, reliable extension of your family, providing dependable care and giving parents peace of mind.

Joel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over five years of experience working with children in both professional and personal settings. For five consecutive summers, I worked at my church’s summer camp, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging groups of children while their parents were at work. My role included organizing fun and educational activities, leading games, helping with crafts, preparing snacks, and ensuring each child felt safe, included, and cared for throughout the day. In addition to my camp experience, I’ve regularly babysat for families in my community, caring for children of various ages. I’m confident managing daily routines, including mealtimes, nap schedules, school pickups, and bedtime. I also assist with homework, encourage creative play, and maintain a calm, nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors to care for their children and pets while they’re out of town. This has included feeding and walking pets, keeping routines consistent, light household tasks, and making sure the home stays tidy and secure. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive relationships with kids and helping families feel supported. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I take pride in, and I always strive to go above and beyond to make sure children are happy, safe, and engaged.

"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!"
