Maritza $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Maritza and I’m a sophomore at Gateway Community College. I am offering childcare services. I love working with and taking care of kids. I have experience babysitting family members, and I have been working at an elementary school before and afterschool daycare program for over a year where we care for kids ages 3-12. I have also worked as a camp counselor over the summer for 2 years where I care for a group of 20-25 kids. My responsibilities have included teaching crafts, tutoring, cooking, cleaning, first aid, and leading games. I am CPR certified and attend trainings and workshops related to leadership and child care almost every week.

Helen $20 per hour for 1 child
For two decades, l've found immense joy in nurturing children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. My previous babysitting roles inspired me to dedicate myself to making a positive impact on young lives and supporting families. I am patient, creative, friendly, and comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, providing regular updates. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am happy to care for up to five children and assist with cooking and light housekeeping. I am also trained in CPR. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment for your little ones, and I look forward to the possibility of bringing my experience and warmth into your home.
