daniella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tori Lawson, I am 20 years old and I am going into my senior year at the University of Alabama. I am going back to school on August 14th so I am completely available until then. I have experience babysitting my younger cousins, I have been babysitting them since I was 13 years old. I also worked as a counselor for a summer camp. There, I was taking care of children ages 3-14, while mainly focusing on children ages 6-10. I am absolutely a dog lover!! I have a small shish tzu at home, but am very comfortable with dogs of any size and age! I also take care of my sister’s cats when she is away from home so I would be comfortable helping out with cats as well. I do not have any experience in senior caretaking, however I would love to help out with driving to appointments, cooking dinner, or other tasks the job may require. I am also happy to work as a household assistant with cooking, cleaning, or whatever you might need!! One thing to know about me is that I am currently majoring in psychology, as well as minoring in sociology and neuroscience. I plan to continue my education and pursue a career in child psychology, where I will be able to help children work through problems and guide them to a better future for themselves.

Rebeca $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Professional Nanny with over 15 years experience taking care of children of all ages, including multiple siblings at the same time. I take care of all children as if they were my own. I am nurturing, caring, and will always have their best interest in mind. I always look forward to meeting with parents to truly customize the experience, after all, no 2 kids are the same! Discussions include food preferences, personal habits, restrictions, etc. Maintaining a safe and positive environment is very important to me. I enjoy preparing various activities, playing games, and meal preparation. I can be available to help with laundry, grocery shopping, assist your children with their studies as well as assist in pick ups and drop offs as needed. I know it's not easy to leave your children alone with someone new, but rest assured, they will be in great, comforting, and patient hands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family soon!
