Hailey $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I’m currently a college student at SCF. I am also CPR certified!!I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and have gained a lot of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns through age 14. Growing up with several siblings also gave me experience with childcare from a young age. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have previously babysat for a family with six children. My childcare experience includes helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, tidying up around the house, playing games and doing activities, taking children to the park or other activities, and following bedtime routines. I always strive to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where children can have fun while receiving the attention and care they need. I also have experience providing pet care and absolutely love animals. I have cared for pets through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight or extended pet sitting while families are away. I’m comfortable following individual pet routines and making sure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, pets, and home, and I would be happy to provide reliable care for your family!

Availability: short-term overnight support. I am a certified postpartum doula and infant nanny! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! Experience: I have been in the childcare field full time as an infant nanny turned postpartum doula for 11 consecutive years now. I have cared for children as young as 12 hours old :) I share my most experience caring for the newborn - 18 month olds (baby led weaning, baby sign language, etc) but have plenty of experience with 2-5 year olds as well! I have worked with families of twins, children with behavioral challenges (ODD), children on the Autism spectrum and children who need extra assistance due to physical differences. My specialty is infant care! While babies are napping I am happy to help with light housekeeping. Education: B.S. in Childhood Development Birth-Kindergarten + Psychology. I am Infant+Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have SIDS safe sleep training. I practice the Reggio Emilia approach (child-directed and constructivist) as well as Montessori. Appropriate language and conscious discipline are important to me. About me: I love to travel! I have cared for families in MA,FL,GA & NC so far. I enjoy painting, being outdoors/hiking, swimming, dancing and eating healthy snacks. Transparency and open communication with families is key for me. If you'd like to get to know more details / background feel free to shoot me a message! ** Update: I have a 4hr day minimum, although I do not have to be physically present for all 4hrs if not needed. For postpartum care, 10hr shifts overnight / 24/7 care / travel care / surrogacy journeys / first time parent education! Feel free to message me anytime.

“Destiny is awesome! Highly recommend if you have a chance to work with her! She’s immediately warm and comforting to baby. She’s also very knowledgeable about child development and plays with baby in developmentally appropriate ways. Super professional and makes you feel comfortable that baby (6.5 months) is in great care. ”

I have over a decade of experience caring for children from birth through young adults. I have virtually infinite patience, am attentive, interactive, and always do my best to exceed the expectations of the families I work with. I am a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am frequently available for evening, weekend, and overnight care on short notice. Prior to attending college and pursuing my bachelor's degree in business administration, I was contemplating a career in education, completed training to become a preschool teacher, and began babysitting for several local families. Though I am now in the information technology field full-time I continue to provide childcare services as my schedule allows. I specialize in last minute care, families visiting the area, date nights, one time, and occasional evening and weekend care needs and always welcome creative assignments. I'm fine with caring for mildly ill children and would be willing to discuss other specialty situations such as working with special needs children and traveling with children on a case by case basis. I enjoy everything from art projects and bedtime stories with a preschooler to subtly shadowing a teen who needs supervision while out of the house. I have a very mild-mannered personality, but enforce rules as necessary. I take safety seriously and have current certification in Infant/Child/Adult CPR and First Aid, as well as specialty training for water-based emergency situations and Epi-Pen administration. Examples of what I've been hired for include: *In-home care at child's home (day/evening/overnight/week-long) *Summer camp instructor (groups of 10+) *Day trips to theme parks and other area locations when parents didn't want to go or needed an extra pair of hands *House sitting and monitoring teens while parents were out of town *Chaperoning a teen to Germany for two weeks as she participated in a film project My rate is negotiable based upon the number of children I'm expected to care for, length of care, and what I'm expected to do while I'm with the children. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss details of your childcare needs!

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.
