Rachel $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I am a recent college graduate and former student-athlete who recently moved back to California for my gap year before attending graduate school and pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I am looking to earn extra income while doing work that I genuinely enjoy and find meaningful. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have reliable transportation, and I am dependable, responsible, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone I work with. I love working with children and have experience caring for younger family members from a young age. In addition, I have worked with with preschool-aged children with complex special needs, visual impairments, and children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged through a variety of activities, including sports, outdoor play, board games, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and educational activities. I strive to make every child feel supported, included, and encouraged while having fun. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I am passionate about helping others and building meaningful connections with families. Whether you need assistance with child care, pet care, household tasks, or support for a senior family member, I would love the opportunity to help.

Ariela $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a loving, dependable, and very experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to children. I’m a mother of four grown children, so I understand firsthand the joys and responsibilities that come with caring for children at every stage. Earlier in my life, I owned and operated a daycare while raising my own children, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing all the day-to-day needs that come with childcare. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate, appraisals, general contracting, and home renovations, and I continue to enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I currently babysit toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. After many years of raising children, running a daycare, and working professionally, I bring a great deal of experience, common sense, and reliability to every family I work with. I truly enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust.

Juliette $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Juliette, and I’m a Psychology major at Boston College. I am originally from California. I’ve always loved working with children. I grew up babysitting for my neighbors. In high school, I ran an afterschool art program for 1st–4th graders, helping students express themselves and build confidence through creativity was a truly rewarding experience. I’m patient, dependable, and active, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, and reading. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can thrive. I also love to cook and bake, am happy to help with homework and household tasks, and I’m comfortable caring for pets as well.

Devon $27 per hour for 1 child

I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to hang out with your kiddos for occasional nights out, adult weekends away, or busy days to get errands done. I spent almost 5 years teaching toddlers and preschoolers, ages 18-months to five-years-old, before becoming a full-time nanny for a four-month-old and a five-year-old. When the infant was old enough to attend school, I stepped into an assistant director role at a preschool in my hometown, which is my current full time position. I am CPR and first aid trained, mandated reporter certified, and I obtained a teaching certificate along with 30 child development units, and a degree in social and behavioral sciences. Early childhood education is my passion and I would love the opportunity to help your young ones on their social and emotional development and academic growth!
