Hi, my name is Alex. I am 26, and offering child care, senior care, pet care, household & prep/ cooking services. I love kids, as my sister has a 1 year old, and I am a godparent to my aunts 7 year old. I am vegan for 9 years now, but that does not stop me; I have cooked for friends and families who majority eat regular foods. Also looking if anyone wants a chef, I love to cook. Currently with 1 family on Monday & Wednesday. I used to be in camp during the summers/winters when i was young. Then I became a camp counselor at the same camps that I went, when I was allowed and of age. I realized I love taking care of kids and did that for a couple years. I also used to volunteer at an elderly home for Alzheimer’s and retired patients during high school. I am familiar with more of being a friend, company while engaging with them, and playing games like bingo. Those were more my duties there. I’m fantastic at games, even blackjack and card games. I can drive to/from school, homework, crafts, tutoring, errands, clean/tidy up. I have a dog of mine, and used to have a cat with an ex partner, so very familiar with pets as well. I love both very much.
I am a youthful and active mature woman with very open availability and flexible schedule. I am dependable and have my own transportation. I gave birth to and raised four children of our own; happy marriage for 30 years; have done child care and have been trained in first aid and CPR. I have taught elementary children for 20 years. I’m very loving and nurturing. I love to play and read with children. I am qualified to assist with online school and enjoy doing fun projects like arts and crafts, singing and exercise. I also am experienced in the care of infants including feeding, bathing, changing diapers and comforting.
“Stephanie is so wonderful to have looking after our little one whilst we work. Our daughter warmed to her instantly and looks forward to her coming back to play. We couldn’t be happier that we found Stephanie and believe any family would be lucky to have her. ”
Hi I am Shelly! I am 19 years old. I have experience with kids ages 5-12. I was a camp counselor for 3 years. I am able to cook and clean. I am also able to drive the kids to wherever they need to go. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins which grew my love for taking care of kids!
My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a proud mother of four adult children and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I am patient, honest, and highly organized, with a genuine love for working with kids. I offer attentive childcare, light cooking, help with organization, and can run errands as needed. In addition to raising my own children, I regularly babysit for friends and family, which has further strengthened my skills in nurturing and managing children in a variety of settings. I would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. References are available upon request. Thank you!
