Ella $24 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Ella and I am a recent college graduate interested in working with kids! I love babysitting toddlers and kids -- I have previously wrangled little ones moving through summer theatre and dance camps, and I have special skills in working with easily distracted kids and getting them back on track :) I am also available to catsit, dogsit, and housesit upon request!
Marcela $30 per hour for 1 child
Hello, parents!! My name is Marcela ā or as the little ones call me, Cela :) I studied psychology in Brazil and spent five years immersed in childcare there before moving to the US, and for almost three years now I've had the joy of caring for two wonderful local families, watching their babies grow from tiny newborns into happy, curious toddlers. I love imaginative play, art and crafts and exploring the world w/ the little ones - parks, libraries, story times. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely present. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, comfortable driving and happy to share references from the families I currently work with. I'd love the chance to meet you and your kiddo! š

Hi - Iām Joey - I'm 61 and full of energy! I am offering child care and household services. Also- special event services/catering, party help. I'm semi-retired, after some amazing careers (from clothing design, baby boutique owner, event planning to catering)- and now I'm focusing on my art and working part time at a few of my interests. I spend a lot of time in nature walking and hiking with my dog Blue- rain or shine. (Also, spend a lot of time at Pickleball!) I love babies and kids- I'm a very patient, helpful, friendly person and love meeting new people. My adult daughters always tell me that I should be a caregiver/babysitter/nanny. I'm happy to help with homework, reading, doing crafts, going for walks etc. My baby/child care started very early- When I was 10 my mom had #5 and basically handed her over. We are very close now still. I can cook, clean, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have helped my 81 year mother quite a bit and am comfortable with senior care. I have always had dogs and cats and am happy to take care of those as well! I have current CPR and First Aid certificates. Love to meet in person! Joey
āJoey helped us out on very short notice. I really appreciated her flexibly, since I hadn't had time to really make plans. She got along great with our toddler and was warm, attentive, and professional.ā
