Marina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marina. I am an energetic, responsible, and detail-oriented person offering child care, pet care, and household services. For child care, I enjoy engaging kids of all ages in creative outdoor activities, active play, painting, and arts and crafts. I'm also happy to help with creative. When it comes to pet care, I come from a family with 4 dogs and 5 cats, so pet care comes naturally to me. I love animals of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs and pets that shed. I can help with dog walking (especially long outdoor walks!), feeding, playing, and general care. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to help your family!

Devon 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.

“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.”
