Beshayr $17 per hour for 1 child
I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for babies and toddlers and helping them feel safe, comforted, and happy. I have a calm and patient nature, which allows me to create a nurturing environment where young children can feel secure and cared for. I have hands-on experience with infants and toddlers, including caring for my own children and helping with siblings. I am very comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, playtime, and maintaining routines. I understand how important consistency and attentiveness are at this stage, and I always make sure children are safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am CPR and First Aid trained, have reliable transportation, and some college experience. I’m dependable, organized, and able to manage multiple young children at once. I enjoy doing age-appropriate activities like sensory play, reading, and outdoor time, while also following parents’ routines and preferences closely.
Iruoma $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello Parents! :) My name is Iruoma, and I’m a pre-med college student studying neuroscience. I have 5+ years of experience ranging from leading church ministry, taking care of my younger siblings, and starting and running a nonprofit that helps children with sickle cell. I am CPR certified and bilingual (Spanish). I absolutely love working with kids and creating a fun and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m kind, reliable, and very attentive, and I will always treat your children with the same patience, protection, love, and care I would give my own family. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I’m happy to support your family however I can. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and spending time with your wonderful kids!
