$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Delray Beach, FL
Hi! My name is Kelly and I am a college senior with years of experience caring for children of all ages, from almost infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve helped raise my niece and nephews and started helping with childcare back home at a young age, so creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment became my day to day at some point. I love helping kids learn new things, whether it’s homework, numbers, new words, or just being curious about the world. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping them safe and happy. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help around the house with light cleaning, house sitting, organizing, and running errands. I also have experience caring for pets, especially cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, you name it. I’m here to support your family however I can with care that’s thoughtful and reliable.
“Kelly is such a sweet, kind, and honest person. My kids adored her company. Kelly made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her. ”

I have been a caretaker of my grandparents and I am comfortable with senior care, I can drive to appointments, cook, and have a nice conversation. I love cats and dogs, and I’ll be happy to care for pets, all my life I have been a pet mom (dogs and cats), and I'm able to go for a walk, play, and feed your furry baby.
