Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I have experience with taking care of both children and babies. I've taken care of babies 6 months+ and also older kids 2 yrs -16 yrs. In addition to babysitting, I help kids with their homework and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs, along with errands/shopping for parents. My experience includes play activities, going to the park, making meals, story time and bedtime routines. For babies bottle feedings, bathing, and changing diapers. I've also worked with special needs kids, having helped raised my godson who is autistic, and my prior experience in Special Education training courses. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and also can provide references.

She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”

Jhanine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Jhanine, I’m 22 years old and currently a nursing student pursuing my passion for caring for others. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for working with kids. There’s something so genuine, energetic, and joyful about being around children that really inspires me and reminds me why I chose nursing in the first place. Although I haven’t officially worked in a pediatric setting yet, I come from a big, loving, and caring family where looking out for one another is just part of who we are. Being surrounded by cousins, siblings, and family gatherings has naturally helped me develop patience, warmth, and a nurturing personality. Through babysitting, I’ve been able to bring that same positive, supportive energy and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids. I’m excited to continue growing in my nursing journey and hopefully work with children in the future, combining my education with the genuine care and compassion that comes from my family roots.

Ana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ana, I’m 26 years old, and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages. For the past 3 years, I’ve been working in a preschool while completing my studies to become an early childhood educator. Working with children is truly my passion. I love supporting their growth, teaching through play, and creating a warm, loving, and safe environment where they can thrive. I’m patient, kind, and always attentive to each child’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and dedicated to your child’s development, I’d love the opportunity to connect with you!

“I am the director of the preschool where Ana is employed. She has been a teacher in our infant classroom, working with children aged 6 to 18 months, for nearly two years. Throughout her time with us, Ana has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and dedication. She has a warm, playful nature that the infants respond to with joy, and she has a remarkable ability to make them laugh and feel at ease. Ana is also highly attentive, often the first to notice if a child is unwell or if something seems off. She is a dependable and hardworking member of our team, always willing to step in and support wherever needed — whether that's assisting in other classrooms or helping prepare meals. Ana’s kind and nurturing personality, combined with her strong work ethic, make her an valuable part of our staff and a truly outstanding teacher.”

Kayla $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have the most experience caring for children ages 9 months to 2 years old, and I especially enjoy this age because I love being part of their learning, development, and everyday routines. In my previous childcare experience, I enjoyed creating fun and engaging activities such as reading books, going to the park, visiting libraries and museums, and finding age-appropriate ways for children to explore and learn. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, naps, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine. I would love the opportunity to expand my experience with newborns and younger babies. While I have less experience with newborns, I’m very attentive to detail, eager to learn, and would take the time to understand your baby’s individual routine, needs, and preferences. I want parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their child is in caring hands. I’m currently attending college and would love to find a family I can build a trusting and long-term relationship with!
