Darcy $36 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Darcy! As the eldest sibling and cousin in my family, caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began babysitting at age 12 and have spent many years supporting children of all ages through both childcare and professional work. For the past 10 years, I have worked as a board-certified music therapist, helping children grow, learn, communicate, and build confidence in a variety of settings. I am also currently completing a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I have been described by the families I have worked with as a fun, creative, and energetic caregiver who loves arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, games, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's unique interests and needs, helping them be active, supported, and excited to learn and explore. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel engaged and parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. Please feel free to reach out and let me know how I can support your family!

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.

I’ve been caring for children for over 7 years, with experience ranging from toddlers (12 months) to school-aged kids (up to 8 years old).

Carolyn $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with a background in childcare, pet care, and customer-focused roles. I am a single mother of 3 amazing adult children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m attentive, patient, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor time, and age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable with pets (I’m a cat owner!) and happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, or organizing. I’ve worked in management roles, so I’m highly dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—families can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions carefully. I’m currently looking for morning or part-time opportunities and would love to support a family who values a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter.
