I’m a grandma to 9 and I have adult children that I homeschooled. We live on a farm with lots of room to explore. I’m also an artist with extensive art supplies and opportunities to be creative.

Marcelina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m a reliable and caregiver with a passion for supporting children of all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or have more complex emotional and behavioral needs. I bring a calm, patient presence and focus on building trust and consistency for every child with whom I work. As a trans woman, I value creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where every child feels respected, understood, and free to express themselves. I’m especially experienced working with K–12 children who may have challenging temperaments, sensory sensitivities, or unique communication styles.

Yasmine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have several years of experience working with kids and currently work at an after-school program with children from TK through 6th grade. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, helping with homework, planning activities, preparing snacks/meals, and keeping kids entertained and on a routine. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also have a background in healthcare. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I’m also comfortable with pets, driving to activities or school, and helping out with light household tasks when needed. I’d love to find a family I can build a comfortable and reliable relationship with!
