Jaimi $30 per hour for 1 child

With over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I also have my own 13yo. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I will carefully follow your household rules. I am happy to engage in board games, puzzles, legos, pretend play and outdoor games that promote learning and physical activity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular update, as requested. I am CPR and First Aid certified, formerly a Red Cross volunteer. I am an active community volunteer at my child's school and the library. I have a car and am comfortable with pets as we have a havapoo. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family.

Ally $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ally! I’m currently looking for ideally part time consistent work. To best align hours, I just wanted to preface I work a part time, remote job Monday through Thursday; 9:00am-1:00pm. I’ve been babysitting kids around my neighborhood for years now and regularly babysat my little cousin as he grew up! My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities/school/sports, as well entertaining/keeping them busy, supervising in general, and making meals/snacks. I’m also a very active outdoorsy person, so I’d be happy to keep the kids active on walks. Even trips to any close by parks. I’m a big animal person! So I would be love to help out in a home with cats or dogs. Happy to entertain/keep pets busy as well. I have experience petsitting of cats/dogs, for those that are looking for that. I’d be open to helping around the house jobs as well. From cleaning, tidying up, running errands, and cooking. I bring very clear communication to any job I take and want to provide the best care for whatever needs you and your family may need.
