Jacqueline 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am an energetic mom who has a flexible schedule, working mostly from home. I share custody of my young son, so I have some free time to work with other families. I welcome the opportunity to provide your family with trustworthy and experienced high-quality care. I own a car and drive so I am reliable and punctual. I can drive kids when needed; there is already a booster seat in the car and a car seat can be arranged. I am able to help with homework and if desired, can bring my own bag of kid-friendly activities. I have done a lot of different activities with kids: crafts, baking, baseball, Lego, singing, dancing, card and board games, biking, reading, outings to museums, etc. In addition to my experience, I am certified in Adult & Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I am a non-smoker and every year, I get flu and COVID vaccines. I just joined the platform so I had some references leave reviews here. They have seen me taking care of my son and their children at the same time. I hope to meet your family soon!

“I have known Jackie as part of a mom’s group for almost 9 years. In that time she has planned and held many successful gatherings for the moms and kids. She is organized and resourceful, she ensures children have fun and are engaged while being safe. Jackie is very responsible and trustworthy. She is a wonderful caretaker to her own son and those in her circle!”

Oskar $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Oskar! I’m 25 years old and looking for a consistent babysitting position with a great family. While I don’t have formal childcare job experience, I’ve grown up around lots of younger cousins and am very comfortable caring for kids in a hands-on, responsible way. I’m dependable, patient, and fun to be around, and I always prioritize safety and structure. I’m most comfortable with potty-trained children and enjoy keeping kids engaged with activities, games, and routines that make them feel secure and happy. I’m also very comfortable with pets. I regularly dog-sit for a friend, so furry family members are never a problem! I’m looking for something consistent where I can build trust with a family and become someone both parents and kids can rely on.
