Sandra $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sandra, I’m bilingual. I have 5+ years of experience working with kids! As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. I’m loving, responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy creating a calm and fun environment for kids. I also have experience as an RBT (2+ years)! I’m looking for families who are comfortable with me bringing my m 9 months old with me. I’m confident I can provide attentive, quality care for your little ones while also caring for my own. If that works for your family, I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones! ♥️

Kimberley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kim, I’m 28 years old, and I’m in my last year of college, studying Business. I’m from France and currently an international student here in the U.S. I have a lot of experience taking care of kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I was an au pair for 3 years. I started working with children when I was 13, teaching kickboxing to kids in my hometown, and I began babysitting shortly after. I’m full of energy, always stay positive, and love learning new things!

Talon $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a certified newborn care specialist with a calm, steady presence and a real understanding of how tender and overwhelming those early days can feel. I’m also CPR certified, which gives families an added layer of reassurance at night. I’ve spent time supporting infants in the NICU and caring for children with special needs and medical conditions, and that experience really shapes how I care for families. I’m patient, attentive, and very in tune with both baby and parent needs. In addition to newborn care, I also provide in-home pet sitting, senior companion care, and household support. My work across these roles has strengthened my ability to be adaptable, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to the unique needs of each home I step into. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, supporting a senior, or looking after beloved pets, my approach is always rooted in reliability, compassion, and creating a sense of calm and trust. For families with pets, I offer overnight in-home care so animals can stay comfortable in their routine, along with daily updates for peace of mind. For seniors, I focus on companionship and light assistance, helping with daily routines, meals, and creating a safe, supportive environment. I also provide light household help and errand support to keep everything running smoothly. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: to create a space where everything feels safe, cared for, and supported. Whether that means helping your baby stay settled so you can rest, making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away, or being a calm and reliable presence for a loved one, I show up fully for each role. Families often tell me they’re able to truly exhale knowing someone experienced and genuinely caring is there. I’m reliable, gentle, easy to communicate with, and I care deeply about creating a calm, supported space for your whole home no matter what services you acquire!
