Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have recently completed a CPR/AED certification course and have more than three years of experience providing childcare. My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry. I also have professional experience as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Behavior Technician, where I worked with individuals on the autism spectrum, including individuals who were nonverbal. This experience strengthened my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and individualized care. I enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and responsible environment. I understand the importance of maintaining awareness of children’s whereabouts and well-being at all times while ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and respected.

Shayla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.
