McKenna $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!

Zulema $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I’ve taken care of up to three toddlers at the same time for several days, and I’m very comfortable managing different personalities and needs at once. Coming from a large family full of little ones, I’ve spent years helping raise and care for children in all stages, which has given me patience, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with kids quickly. I have a sweet-hearted and positive nature, and I always make it a priority to create a warm, safe, and joyful environment. I love engaging with children through singing, reading, imaginative play, and outdoor activities that keep them active and entertained. I enjoy being hands-on, present, and involved—never just supervising from the sidelines. Whether it’s helping a toddler explore their creativity, keeping up with energetic kids, or offering calm support to a newborn, I adapt easily to what each child needs. I’m also comfortable helping with cooking and meal prep, and I’m happy to support families with simple household routines that make their day a little easier. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is teaching through fun moments, and I can introduce Spanish naturally into play, songs, and conversation so children learn in a way that feels exciting and easy. Families describe me as dependable, kind, flexible, and someone who truly cares. I bring a great blend of patience, playfulness, and responsibility, and I take pride in creating an environment where children feel valued, supported, and happy. I’m committed to showing up with a great attitude, treating every child as if they were my own family, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their little ones are with me. I am open to long-term arrangements with one family and would love to build a consistent relationship where I can support your child’s growth over time. My best availability is all day on weekends and after 4 PM on Wednesdays. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, positive energy, and big-hearted care to your family.
