Rashema $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rashema and I’m currently working in healthcare in a patient care setting. I am offering childcare, and household services. I love working with children and have been working with them (infants, toddlers and teenagers) since I was 14 years old, in both professional and personal settings. My responsibilities have included at home babysitting, helping with homework, etc. I’ve worked at a daycare, briefly worked as an Registered Behavioral Technician where I worked 1 on 1 with a child with autism, and I have worked in patient with teenage girls who struggle with eating disorders. I am not allergic to any pets so I am open and able to work with families with pets! (I had 2 pairs of birds as pets when I was younger).

Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Rachel! I’m a calm, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves caring for children and finds being of service deeply rewarding. I was also a full-time nanny for a 1-year-old earlier in life and have helped care for my two nephews, now 12 and 15, throughout their lives. As an artist and writer, I love encouraging creativity and imagination through art, games, stories, music, dancing, and outdoor play. I’m warm and playful while providing healthy boundaries, and prefer active engagement over screens. I’m hoping to find a family I can support consistently and grow with long-term. I’m also happy to help with cooking, errands, light cleaning, laundry, and organizing—and I love animals!
