Joanna $30 per hour for 1 child
I am a mom of three school-age children, looking for regular work on Monday and Tuesday mornings. I was a SAHM until my kids started school, so I have experience in caring for young children and pets while managing a household. I also have paid experience as a nanny for an infant before having children of my own. I am currently building my own business and looking for additional income to supplement that endeavor. I am available 9am-2pm Mondays and Tuesdays. This is not flexible but I am open to occasional babysitting outside those hours.

Erin $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Val. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Valentyna has been a wonderful caregiver for our young children. She is consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and always communicates clearly, which gives us complete peace of mind. Beyond her professionalism, Valentyna is a genuinely kind person. Because she is a mother herself, she brings a deep level of understanding, empathy, and patience to her caregiving. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone reliable and wonderful!”
