Janet $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jan. I’m a mother of five, a grandmother of eight, and a retired licensed social worker and therapist. I am currently offering both child care and senior care. I have a lifelong love for children and began caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children at just 12 years old. I’m comfortable with all ages and can provide reliable transportation to and from school, activities, and appointments as needed. In addition to child care, I have extensive experience providing senior care. I’ve been a caregiver for my own parents and my father-in-law, and I’m comfortable assisting with daily needs such as meal preparation, transportation to appointments, errands, and companionship. (I’m also a great Euchre partner!) I am happy to work with families who have cats and dogs and am committed to providing safe, nurturing, and reliable care.

My employment background is Executive Assistant and now that I'm retired, my desire is to return to my first love "children".

My childcare tasks includes, meal prep & feeding, baths, parks, YouTube educational videos! board games, story times, drives to/from school or Dr. Appts, soothing fears, applying a bandaid (if needed), animated movies, walks, & hugs!

LaShanta $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a positive, bubbly, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys caring for others. I’m great at multitasking and have experience working in long-term care with all types of patients, including dementia care, rehabilitation, and daily household support, where I built strong, trusting bonds. I also spend a lot of time caring for children, including my infant nephew and a close friend’s four-year-old daughter. I love watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence, and I enjoy being a positive role model through guidance, patience, and encouragement. I’m happy to help with errands, school-related tasks, and daily routines, and I always aim to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment.
