Lorena $32 per hour for 1 child

18 years childcare experience • newborn & toddler specialist • reliable household support Hello families! My name is Lorena. I have 18 years of experience caring for children of all ages, with the last 10 years focused on newborns, infants, and toddlers. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I’m experienced with newborn care, feeding routines, sleep support, diapering, and age-appropriate play and development. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as simple meal prep, tidying play areas, and children’s laundry. Families describe me as reliable, loving, and trustworthy, and I truly enjoy supporting parents and their little ones.

Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a full time office job but have free time in the evenings and weekends. I helped raise my sister while my parents worked since I was 13 so I do have experience just not professionally. I used to dog-sit for a couple of years before I moved back to my hometown.

Hannah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Hannah and I've worked with kids on and off for the past 10 years. I was a nanny to a household of twins from the ages of 4 to when they were 10. I've cared for infants, toddlers, and elementary age children. I also have experience running multi-week summer theatre and art classes for ages 5-12. I have housekeeping and pet sitting experience with a wide variety of pets (for example: a five-cat household, with puppies, and senior dogs!) Additionally, I've volunteered extensively for multiple years with an afterschool program for teens with special needs. I'm flexible, personable, and love kids. I can always roll with the punches that life brings with little ones. I'm happy to be there for your family whenever you need! I have my own transportation. I can't wait to get started!

Giselle $27 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced educator with 5 years of working with children, including 2 years as a teacher, 1 year as a substitute teacher, and 2 years as a teacher assistant. I primarily work with children ages 6–8 but have experience supporting students from TK through 12th grade. Before my professional career, I regularly babysat younger cousins, helping me develop patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. I also earned my CNA and Home Health Aide certifications in 2022 and gained hands-on experience providing care and support to seniors. I am nurturing, dependable, energetic, and highly disciplined. My commitment to fitness has strengthened my consistency, time management, and responsibility, which I carry into all areas of my life through habits like meal prepping, staying organized, and planning ahead. I enjoy connecting with children through activities like soccer, crafts, and creative play, and my background in education and caregiving allows me to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for those in my care.

Pearl $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of two grown, wonderful boys. I currently work full time as an ultrasound technician and work with pediatric patients. I feel my nurturing, caring personality is a great asset for a family seeking a sitter. I am up to date on my BLS/CPR certification. I am available evenings after work about 6:00pm M-F. And available most weekends (for those dates nights)
