$18 per hour for 1 child

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!

Hello, I am a fun, loving and energetic person who enjoys working with children. I am a Kindergarten teacher who loves what she does! I have a ton of experience working with all different ages. I also have worked for a few different day care centers and have 9+ years experience working with children with ages ranging from 6 weeks old to 12 years old. I love using my creative outlook to make learning fun and enjoyable for kids. I also love playing games and interacting on a personal level with all children. I have a 3 year old I would like to bring with me on jobs as well.

Super appreciated the care Emily provided our 18 month old. Our daughter has had very, very few babysitters and Emily was kind and warm, played with her and easily rolled with it when our gal got upset. Thank you, Emily, for your patience and care!
