Sara 3 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your children. I’m originally from Colombia but have been living in the U.S. for several years now. I speak perfect English and graduated here with a degree in Interior Design. While my background is creative, I’ve always had a strong connection with children and a passion for helping them grow, learn, and feel safe. I offer childcare services for kids ages 1y and up, including school pick-up/drop-off, healthy meal prep, homework help, and fun, hands-on activities tailored to their age and interests. Experience with age groups: I’ve cared for kids from 3 to 12 years old. My experience started in a preschool setting in Colombia, and since then I’ve worked closely with children of various ages—understanding their different needs and how to support them emotionally, socially, and mentally. Activities I enjoy with children: I love involving kids in creative activities like painting, drawing, and crafts—thanks to my design background. I also enjoy reading, cooking healthy meals, dancing, and playing educational games that are both fun and enriching. Special skills: • Homework help • Cooking nutritious meals • Creative learning through art and play • Fluent in English and Spanish Certifications and training: I have hands-on experience from working in a school environment in Colombia. I’m currently planning to complete CPR and first-aid certification here in the U.S. to provide even better care.

“Sara takes care of my dog Brussels. Brussels is an Aussie Labradoodle. He is my service dog and Sara has helped me complete his training and achieve his certification as my service dog. I trust her with him and she has full access to my house at all times. Sara has taken care of Brussels for over three years and she helps me with all his needs, including vet visits, grooming, and food restrictions. She has been an angel in our lives and we are blessed to have her help us. Thank you Sara for everything you do for us!!!”

Kayla $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m from Central New Jersey. I’ve been working in childcare for almost 4 years and have been babysitting for about 3 years. I have a BA in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Early Childhood Education. I’m a Pre-K teacher and have also led several after-school enrichment programs for children from preschool through eighth grade, so I have experience with a wide range of ages and developmental stages. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority for me. I’d describe myself as reliable, punctual, and warm. I treat every child I encounter like an extension of my own family with patience, care, and respect. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a fun and supportive environment. I look forward to the potential of working with your family!
