Jaqueline $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a teaching credential. I also hold a BA in Art History and Studio Art, and I love bringing creativity, art, and imagination into everyday play and activities with children. As a mother of a 13-year-old son and two older stepdaughters, I bring both professional knowledge and real-life parenting experience. I enjoy working with children of all ages and personalities, creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where they feel supported, confident, and happy. I value kindness, patience, creativity, and connection, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow.

Afsana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello there, My name is Afsana—just like it’s spelled! A fun fact about my name is that it means fairytale or story, which I think is a perfect way to connect with children. Taking care of children is not as easy as many people think, but it’s something that has always come naturally to me. I’m the second oldest of seven siblings, so growing up I often took on the role of a second mom—making sure everyone was safe, supported, and taken care of. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of children. Another fun fact about me is that I work in the dental health field, mainly with kids. I work in a pediatric dental and orthodontic office, so you might occasionally hear me talk about dental health—please excuse me if I do! While I may not have formal childcare certifications, I have years of real-life experience caring for children and building meaningful connections with them. I enjoy engaging with kids through books, movies, games, and everyday activities. I truly believe that when you’re around children, you have to be a kid at heart. That’s how they feel comfortable opening up, being themselves, and sharing their little adventures with you. Many people have told me that I’m a “child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with kids. I love their curiosity and I’m always happy to answer the thousand questions they tend to have. If I have the opportunity to babysit your child, I will always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. Childhood is such a special time, and I believe those experiences stay with children for the rest of their lives. I would do my best to make sure your child feels safe, supported, and has a wonderful time. Thank you for your time and consideration.
