Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a compassionate and dependable sitter with daycare experience and a lifelong love for working with kids. I grew up helping care for my younger cousins, which taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of building strong relationships with children. As a graduate student close to finishing my Marriage and Family Therapy degree, I’m looking for small jobs to balance with my studies. I have experience working with children and teens and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being a supportive presence, I’m here to make sure your kids are cared for and happy. I look forward to partnering with your family!

Vallere $28 per hour for 1 child

I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.

Elizabeth $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My girls are grown and I’m looking to earn some extra money part-time. I know that it’s hard to find someone trustworthy and reliable. I consider myself a Mom wanting to help other moms and dads have an occasional day or night off and know that their babies are well taken care of. I love reading and books and all kinds of music.

"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!"
