Hi! My name is Eva and I am a full-time college student with a light schedule this semester. I have a lot of experience working with kids including being a part-time nanny and a camp counselor for 5 years. I've worked with families through Care.com along with helping friends and family. I have experience with kids aged 2-13. I also have experience with kids with special needs. I am open to mostly anything if given your time to make sure everything is in order before I look after your kiddos! :)
Hello, I’m Kayla! I’m 23 years old and I’ve always loved kids. I took the working with children elective while in high school and completed the 9 hour communication skills core of knowledge training as well as the 90 hour preschool course but I unfortunately no longer have the printed certificate (I am looking to see if my high school might still have a copy). I also majored in Early Childhood Education last year at HCC. I am a very creative and imaginative person and I find that it helps me to connect with children more. I love doing arts and crafts, playing games and making up stories. I’m also a good listener and whenever a child or person in general has something to say, I make sure to give my undivided attention because I believe every voice and opinion matters, no matter how small. I’ve worked at a daycare and I’ve worked in an elementary school as a before and after care aide. I also have experience babysitting for family and friends. That experience is limited though (one family friend and my aunt) but I am hoping to gain more experiences and reviews through this site. I don’t have much experience with seniors and my experience with pets revolve mainly around dogs, though I do know my way around with cats. For household services I do light cleaning. I like a clean area and I believe cleanliness aides in cultivating a peaceful state of mind. I am also CPR and first aid certified.
Hello, my name is Starla and I am an energetic and fun sitter ! Although I am current law student (3L) , I have 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I am also pet friendly.
Hello, My name is Sharon and I have over 5 years experience working as a nanny. Most of my time was working with one family where I cared for children from zero months to school aged kids. I would be happy to provide assistance to young families who need a trustworthy, dedicated and dependable individual to assist with childcare needs.

"She was so flexible and came last minute to help out. The house was really neat when I got home and both kids were asleep. Two thumbs up!"
Jenny S., parent

"Thrisa was amazing! Came over last minute and took amazing care of our 11 month old - including bedtime - she's coming back tomorrow :)"
