Kim $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a devoted caregiver and family-oriented individual with a lifelong passion for helping others. As a mother of four and a proud grandmother, I’ve spent years nurturing children of all ages, from newborns to young adults. My caregiving journey has extended beyond my own family—I have over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with disabilities in both home and community settings, as well as more than 5 years dedicated to senior care. I bring patience, empathy, and resilience to every role, including working with individuals who may be considered “difficult.” I believe in meeting people where they are, offering compassion, and creating a safe, supportive environment. Outside of caregiving, I am an animal lover at heart. I volunteer at an OTTB horse rescue, have owned a horse myself, and currently share my home with beloved dogs and cats. Whether caring for people or animals, I find joy in building connections, offering comfort, and making a positive difference in the lives around me.

$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Timiah, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children in both classroom settings and one-on-one care. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Working with children has always been my passion. I love watching them reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover the world around them. Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, or working on early learning activities, I enjoy making every day meaningful and fun. I’m also a proud mom of four, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I know firsthand that parents want someone who is dependable, patient, and caring, and that’s exactly what I strive to be. After spending many years working in childcare centers, I’ve decided to work independently so I can give families more personalized care and build lasting relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to become someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can feel completely confident leaving them with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your little ones can thrive.

Great and reliable. My son loves her so much. Professional and caring. Your kids would fall in love with her. Overall 10 out of 10

Chanel $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chanel. I am a 22 yr old college student. I’ve been babysitting for about 5-6 years as of now. I have hands on experience with being able to keep kids entertained and safe ! I’m a very creative outgoing person! I just might love arts and crafts just as much as the kids do lol. I’m always down for keeping the kids active and screen-free! I also do have experience with helping with homework as well. I’m willing to babysit for all age groups! I also am very good with pets! Can’t wait to meet your family !

"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!"
