Jalen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! My name is Jalen but everyone calls me Jaee! I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. I went to Valdosta State University for my Bachelors in Communications and PR. Afterwards, I attended University of Maryland where I obtained my Masters of Business Adminstration. I have worked within the Mental Health field as the Outreach Director, Quality Assurance, and worked one on one with children's mental health by conducting assessments and also a case manager for children ranging from the ages of 2-18. I have also been a caregiver for seniors, and children, and pets. Sometimes all at the same time under one roof! I currently work as an elementary teacher. Working hand and hand with children in our special education realm of the school. Specifically with 1st and 4th grade. However, I check in on all grade levels. I enjoy working with kids they keep me young! I also believe that it is so important to pour into children as they are our future! I look forward to meeting you and your lovely children and family! Best, Jaee!

Alyson $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! If you are seeking a seasoned, kind, compassionate and highly intuitive caregiver, you have come to the right profile! My background in professional theater, education and special education have honed my innate talents in connecting with and providing positive and enriching experiences for the children and young adults with whom I have worked. My charges have included many children who are neurodiverse including those with Autism. I'm fit, active and energetic with "fun Auntie" or "cool (young) G-ma" vibes. But I'm also a more type B, caregiver who would be perfect for a child that needs a bit more of a nurturing presence rather than just a playmate. I also adore Dogs and am available to care for SMALL dogs.
