Bri $30 per hour for 1 child

Hey there, my name is Bri! I am a fun loving and very caring individual who absolutely loves kids! Getting to know the kids on an individual level and forming bonds is my favorite part of the job. I have 24 years of experience, taking care of children from infants to preteens also ranging from taking care of one up to five children at a time. I also have some experience with special needs children. I studied premed in college, I went through EMT training and I am CPR certified twice over. Whether it's playing or helping with homework or getting kids ready for school or activities I have done it all and I am good at my job! I have a reliable vehicle and if the kiddos need rides to school, activities or playground visits I have plenty of room and I am a very safe driver. And when it comes to extra duties, like picking up after the kids, doing a few dishes or other small household chores, I am there to help! If you need a résumé or any references, please let me know. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!

Max $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have two pet cockatiels named Ray and Lola. They’re the light of my life. I’ve always loved animals, senior citizens, and kids! I was a soccer coach for children for a while and loved it so much; it made me want to continue working with kids. I’ve also helped babysit my little cousins growing up. With the elderly, I have experience helping out family and family friends who need assistance in their day-to-day lives, and I would also love to continue that. I even took care of an elderly lady in her 90s before she unfortunately passed away. Animals are one of my biggest passions as well! I’ve always loved babysitting my family members' kids/pets and spending time with them.

"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!"
