Hi! My name is AJ! I have one child, a 10yo boy, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe environment where they can learn and grow. I have 5+ years of experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. I have worked as a CNA in a nursing facility for a few years as well. People often describe me as patient, energetic and dependable. I love activities like arts and crafts, reading time, and outdoor play. I take pride in being attentive and reliable, making sure parents feel confident while they’re away. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy cooking & baking, painting & crocheting, reading and long walks in nature. I often incorporate these into activities with kids as well!

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

“Very involved and engaged.”

Hi families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.

"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!"
