Yavileynee $20 per hour for 1 child

Im a certified CNA with experience providing dependable, compassionate care to people of all ages. My background in healthcare has taught me patience, organization, and how to stay calm in any situation. I’m also a dog owner, so I’m very comfortable working in homes with pets and understand how important it is to care for them with the same kindness and consistency. In addition to my CNA experience, I’ve watched children of various ages for families in my community. I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported, understood, and engaged. Whether helping with daily routines, light household tasks, or providing companionship, I always treat every family I work with respect and professionalism. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making life easier for the families who trust me. I look forward to bringing my skills, compassion, and strong work ethic to your home.

Gabrieanne $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Gabrieanne! I am 18 years old and a sophomore at Trinity College. I have always loved working with children, whether to engage with them in their own interests or help them with their homework. I started as a kindergarten monitor while I was in the 5th grade and I had a weekly job for 2 years in my junior and senior year of high school babysitting an 8 year old. I would cook for her, take her to the park, and play with her and her bunny. I have also had lots of experience looking after my younger cousins on my own, unpaid, but a job nonetheless! I am a patient person and always willing to work with children rather than just telling them what to do, while still making sure they are respectful to others and kind to themselves. I also owned cats growing up, 3 of them in total! I know how to play with cats and respect their boundaries. I would greatly appreciate any job to help pay for my time at Trinity!
