Paloma $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 29-year-old Speech and Language Therapist with a Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy and a genuine love of working with children. I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities, including children with additional needs, and I’m patient, caring, responsible, and creative. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through play, activities, reading, and outdoor time. I’m also fluent in English, French, and Spanish, so I’d be happy to speak any of these languages with your child. I’m currently looking to babysit alongside my work as a therapist and would love to help families with their childcare needs!

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a college junior (Texas Christian University, Neeley School of Business) currently home for the summer working part-time at a law office. I’m available several afternoons, and most evenings and weekends—and I’d love to help with babysitting, tutoring, pet sitting, dog walking, or running errands. I’m a reliable, nurturing, and outgoing person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and animals. I have strong communication skills and take pride in being someone families can count on. I’m very active and love being outdoors, whether that means playing games with kids, going on walks, or keeping pets engaged and happy. I have a car so I’m flexible and dependable when it comes to getting where I need to be. I have 6 years of experience and am happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Sterling $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Sterling, and I'm currently a student at Canada College. I am offering child care. I am good with kids, but usually babysit my aunts three kids, ages 3, 7, and 10, as well as help with their puppy. However, I've babysat kids in my family and around my neighborhood on and off since I was 16. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am comfortable with animals in general, as I have two cats of my own; however, I am afraid of bigger dogs ( especially if they slobber a lot), spiders, and reptiles.
