Zoe $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Zoe, and I have one year of experience working with infants and young toddlers between 4 and 18 months old. I truly enjoy spending my days helping little ones learn, play, and grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I’m CPR certified and have all the required certifications to work in early childcare. I’m patient, caring, and always make sure every child feels secure, supported, and cared for. I love planning age appropriate, hands on activities that encourage early learning, curiosity, and developmental milestones through play. In addition to caring for children, I’m also happy to help with general cleaning and pet care. I take pride in keeping spaces clean, organized, and welcoming, and I know how important it is for families to have a comfortable, well cared for home. I’m dependable, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure families feel confident knowing their children, home, and pets are in good hands.

I’m Sara, a twenty year old student at William and Mary. I’ve been babysitting for over 6 years now. I have experience with all ages. Most recently I was an Au Pair in Australia for a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I love doing activities with the kids in my care. Either outside playing sports and games, or doing crafts inside. Whatever the weather and circumstances allow for. I pride myself on being very organized and punctual. I’m looking for part time, or occasional jobs over the summer. Whether that be childcare, household work, or running errands. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

Janet $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name’s Janet! I’m currently enrolled in the bachelors business program at ECPI. I work at Park Lane Tavern but am looking for a side gig. I’ve been babysitting ever since I was 12 and have a wide range of experience with many ages. I also used to lifeguard and teach swim lessons. I still have my CPR and first aid certification. I also have two nieces and a nephew that are my whole world that I love to take care of and do fun things with. I’ve pet sat and have taken care of numerous animals before as well. I love to cook and bake. I also don’t mind cleaning or doing any chores. Always leave things better than the way you found it, also who doesn’t love to come back to a cleaner house with no dishes. :)
