Leslie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!

Hi! My name is Lorna, I’m 27 years old and I have a lot experience working with kids. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started by caring for my neighbors’ and family friends’ kids, and my passion for childcare has grown ever since. After finishing high school and starting university, where I studied to become a kindergarten teacher. I worked in two daycares, where I gained experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I also worked as a prefect in a high school for two years and as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for another two years in two different kindergartens, helping students improve their communication skills and confidence. Most recently, I worked as a nanny in the United States for almost two years, providing full-time care and support for children while assisting with daily routines, activities, and household tasks. I love creating a positive, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel safe.

"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!"
