Amiyah $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, along with providing household support. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with families to provide dependable, compassionate, and patient care tailored to individual needs. My experience includes preparing meals, helping with daily routines, administering medication, offering companionship, and keeping a safe, clean environment. I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to preteens, and I'm known for being nurturing, responsible, and creative—often engaging kids with educational games, crafts, and outdoor play. I’ve also assisted seniors with mobility support, light housekeeping, errands, and emotional companionship, which taught me the importance of empathy and trust. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that are essential in any caregiving role. I’m also organized, respectful of people’s privacy and routines, and take pride in creating a warm, supportive atmosphere wherever I work. Whether it’s a child, an elderly loved one, or a beloved pet, I always give 100% of my care, attention, and respect.

Alyssa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I’m new to this site and a little unsure of how things work but I’m gonna tell you a little about myself. I’m currently in school to get my nursing degree and I have 3 more years to go! I’m originally from Ohio and moved here around 8 months ago and am expecting my first child in January. I don’t have over the table experience but I’ve grown up raising my siblings and little cousins. I absolutely love toddlers, even the terrible two’s because they’re brand new to the world and just need understanding and time to learn how to express how they feel. I prefer working with younger kids but older children are absolutely okay too! One of my passion’s definitely includes animals. I love them all! I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and also baby animals like kittens and puppies. I was raised on a farm and so I’ve grown up taking care of animals. I don’t typically do housekeeping, but I can absolutely do a little cleanup while I babysit and of course clean up any mess that is made while I’m there! Having any stranger in your home while you’re away can definitely be nerve wracking, especially to watch your children or animals. You’re taking a risk. I promise anyone I work with, that I am safe and trustworthy and I would never put anyone in my care at risk. I expect the same courtesy of insuring my own safety as well! Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon!
