Hi - My name is Tobia and I'm currently caregiving part-time for my great aunt. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I'm the youngest of four girls and I have a combined count of 35 nieces and nephews including great and great greats lol. So I definitely have a lot of experience babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and extra curricular activities. Being a caregiver allows me to thrive in my personality. I have a huge heart, I'm kind, caring, compassionate, reliable, trust worthy, patient, and attentive. I'm also tidy, organized, detailed oriented and possess time management. I cook, clean, run errands, and assist in other areas as needed. I was the primary caretaker for my mom who battled dementia, for over 10 years, so I am very comfortable with senior care. I offer medication reminders, meal prep, bathing and assistance with personal needs, drive to appointments, and perform other tasks as needed. I have 3 dogs of my own, who are my world. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.
Hello! I just moved here from Charlotte, NC where I finished my Masters studies while being a student athlete (track and field). I worked for 3 years on the Bambino babysitting app and love spending time with kids :). I’m very disciplined and reliable.
I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!
Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January.

In addition to caring for children, I am happy to complete household responsibilities, pet care, rides to/from activities, and help with errands. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
