Hi! I’m Laura, a caring and responsible sitter who loves spending time with kids and helping them learn and have fun. I have experience with children of different ages — from babies to preteens — and enjoy reading, arts and crafts, dancing, and outdoor play. I can also help with homework, cooking simple meals, and keeping things organized. I love animals too and I’m happy to help with dogs or cats. I speak both English and Spanish, and families describe me as kind, patient, and reliable.
Hello , my name is Bella. I am a responsible college student with hands-on experience caring for young children. I began by caring for a relative’s child years ago during my high school years, and was later recommended to other families in my neighborhood. I also provide childcare at church events, supervising children and leading fun, structured activities. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe and positive environment. I can also assist with homework and light household tasks.
“Bella was fantastic and did a great job with my daughter. Would/Will definitely hire again!”
Hello All . I’m Brittany . Over the past 15 years I have serviced numerous families . Children are truly a joy and their safety extremely important . I am a certified CPR instructor . Praying to connect with new families and offer my services to build bonds that will last a lifetime .
I’m an educator who currently works at a PreK–12 school and have experience working with children and teens of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and love making sure kids are safe while still having fun! Depending on what your kiddos enjoy, I’m always down for arts and crafts, baking, board games, movie nights, trips to the park, library outings, or coming up with a fun activity at home. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, and transportation. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with school pickups/drop-offs and getting kids to activities. I’m also happy to help around the house with laundry, dishes, tidying up, and light cleaning. I’m flexible and happy to work with whatever routines make things easiest for your family.
Hi. My name is Arailym and I babysit. I am available every weekday after 4 except for Tuesdays when I am available at 3:15/3:30 and all day on weekends. I am available during the evenings and am currently able to watch any age but am more experienced in infants and toddlers. I have taken courses and am looking at renewing my lifeguarding certification as I am a counselor at a camp during the summer. I am very energetic and love kids, hoping to pursue a career in education when I graduate high school. I am very flexible and am comfortable caring for many kids. The most I have cared for at once was four of five but am sure I can handle more if needed. I am able to adapt and accommodate. I do not have my own car. Looking forward to working with you all! I am 18 and so excited to meet you and your child!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
