Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarah and I have been babysitting for approximately 15 years. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids. I also am a mother of a 5 year old and often times, I babysit our cousins, my nephew and other friend’s children. I started babysitting at the age of 15. My duties include transporting kids to/from school, some tutoring, arts and crafts, and some household chores. I also used to work as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I mainly taught classes aging from 3-12. I was a swim instructor and lifeguard for approximately 6 years. I was also a caretaker for both of my grandparents. I assisted with cooking dinner, giving appropriate medication, and taking them to/from their doctor’s appointments. I am afraid of mid size- large dogs but I don’t mind small dogs.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, reliable professional with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. I have completed extensive training in the early childhood education field, including Medication Administration, Basic Health and Safety, First Aid, CPR/AED, Seizure Training, and Emergency Preparedness. With this knowledge, I am able to care for children confidently and calmly, with safety always at the forefront. I am patient, dependable, and committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment while building trusting, positive relationships with both children and families.

“Lenora has taken care of both my kids for almost five years. They both adore her. She is experienced in early childhood education and is great with kids.”
