Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

As a proud mother of two beautiful daughters and a woman of African heritage, I deeply believe in the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This belief is at the heart of how I care for and connect with children. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Motherhood has gifted me with patience, gentleness, and empathy, while my experience in a school setting has expanded my understanding of child development and creative learning. I cherish the opportunity to inspire curiosity, emotional growth, and joyful exploration—making me a thoughtful, community-minded, and dedicated nanny/helper.

Teleah $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with several years of hands-on childcare experience. During college and into young adulthood, I worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children of various ages. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and commitment. I’m also very comfortable around pets both cats and dogs and happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, and keeping things tidy while caring for your little ones. I understand the importance of trust and clear communication and always aim to give parents peace of mind while they’re away.
