Ashlyn $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ashlyn, a dedicated and caring childcare professional with several years of experience working with children of all ages in preschool, after-school, and summer camp settings. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education and have a passion for creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where children can learn and grow. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with. Whether it’s planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I always strive to make each child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, pet care, and household organization. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing reliable, compassionate care!

Emma $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently looking for part-time babysitting work. I have a patchwork of experience, working with children from infancy to high-school aged. Most of that comes from working in childcare centers with children 0-4 years old and in after school programs. I have a degree in botany, and I love love love using outdoor spaces to let children explore and develop. While I have a variety of childhood development and psychology courses in my background, I am also continuing my early childhood development education so that I can plan activities to do with children that best fits their age and needs. My ideal care includes a lot of play and hands-on activities. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your family! Emma
