Makylia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi !! Im Kay the oldest out of three siblings so taking care of kids has pretty much been in my DNA since day one. I’ve got over 10 years of experience with little ones — especially infants — and now I’m a mom of three myself, so I know what it takes to keep babies happy, safe, and on a good routine. I’m super hands-on, patient, and always bring good energy wherever I go. Kids usually warm up to me fast because I treat them like my own. And when it comes to pets, I’m all for it — my husband runs a pet training and boarding business, so we’re big on animals and know how to handle them with care. Your babies (and fur babies) will be in great hands with I do prefer to provide care from my home so I can offer a comfortable, family-style setting for your child. With three little ones of my own, I’ve built a space that’s safe, engaging, and full of love kind of like a mini daycare! Your child will have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a caring environment while you’re away.

I am very responsible, trustworthy, with a genuine love for children and the energy to engage them through play and creativity. I also agree patience is key and understanding kids emotions is important when caring for them. I have strong communication skills to keep parents updated and quick thinking in unexpected situations. I am willing to follow all household rules and making sure I do light house cleaning making sure everything is tidy when you return. I can also help out with laundry as well and pets or any help needed in the home. also ensuring that your children are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have two children of my own and been caring for kids since I was 12 years old. I also have experience with caring for autistic kids as well being I have a niece who is autistic and was nonverbal at one point.

Yavileynee $20 per hour for 1 child

Im a certified CNA with experience providing dependable, compassionate care to people of all ages. My background in healthcare has taught me patience, organization, and how to stay calm in any situation. I’m also a dog owner, so I’m very comfortable working in homes with pets and understand how important it is to care for them with the same kindness and consistency. In addition to my CNA experience, I’ve watched children of various ages for families in my community. I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported, understood, and engaged. Whether helping with daily routines, light household tasks, or providing companionship, I always treat every family I work with respect and professionalism. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making life easier for the families who trust me. I look forward to bringing my skills, compassion, and strong work ethic to your home.
