Rafaliarison $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone – My name is Steffy and I am passionate about childcare, and household services. I love being around kids and have always been surrounded by family. As the first grandchild, I grew up taking care of all my younger cousins until they became independent, which gave me valuable experience. I also love cooking, which is my other job, and enjoy preparing meals for families. Caring for others is one of the most important values my parents taught me, and I carry that into my work. I am passionate about organizing and cleaning, which makes me well-suited to handle household tasks and run errands efficiently. I am a big animal lover, having had 3 dogs and 6 turtles, so I’m happy to work with pets as well! Babysitting and caregiving allow me to combine my love for kids, cooking, organizing, and helping others. I look forward to working with your family!

Amy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been babysitting since high school. Working with kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I majored in Psychology and Spanish, and some of my favorite courses focused on infant and child development. I currently work for a school district, primarily with elementary school children, and also have experience as a medical assistant, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for others. I plan on returning to graduate school and am particularly interested in occupational therapy, as I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Having a younger sister with a disability taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I’m COVID vaccinated and comfortable helping with household tasks, meals, homework, and pets, and I’m very hands-on and attentive with kids. I’m available most evenings and weekends and enjoy building meaningful, lasting connections with children and their families.
