Gigi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and am happy to help with activities, homework, meals, daily routines, bedtime, and household tasks. Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)

Shannan $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Shannan, an artistpreneuer, here to help you relieve any scheduling pressure. I was a reading interventionist for 5 years for Marietta School System in Atlanta. I've also remotely tutored elementary age students with Reading Partners LA . If your child needs help reading, I'd love to get them on their reading level. During my busy season, I facilitate youth workshops for churches, schools and youth programs to show them the importance of being a servant leader. I was a caretaker for about 2 years as a companion for Seniors doing private duty care. My heart is soft for elders and children. Kindness is what I lead with so I'm dependable and patient. I am a humble servant leader. Careful. I value respect. Transparency, cleanliness, honesty and integrity are traits of my "ideal" clients' family. While I don't have any children of my own, I love the 13 neices and nephews I've been blessed with. Your loved one will be in good hands with me. I love music and marketing. Occasionally, I produce poetry events and I like watching documentaries on PBS. Im a life learner. I love the Lord and I work for him. Hoping to hear from you soon! Shannan

erika $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erika :) I have over three years of experience caring for children. After graduating with a degree in Psychology, I moved to the United States to improve my English, and that’s when I started working as a babysitter—and I quickly discovered how much I love it. I’ve cared for children of different ages. I am CPR certified, have my own car, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m also happy to provide references. I’d love to connect with your family!

Christina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am a mother of three amazing adult kids. My oldest (27) is a college graduate working as a Computer Engineer. My middle child is a Biology graduate from University of San Francisco and last but not least my youngest daughter (19) is in the arts and loves all things music. A side from my love of being a mom, I'm passionate about health and fitness. Now that my kids are independent, I would love to be a part of your kids growth and have tons of fun while doing so! I'm always open to starting with a call to see if we are a good fit for each other.
