I am able to clean, organize, run errands, do laundry, help with groceries, and assist with general house management tasks.

I always follow instructions carefully and treat each home and child as if they were my own. I look forward to supporting a wonderful family that needs a helping hand with childcare and household responsibilities.
Pet sitting on and off for about 5 years. Love animals and am involved in a cat rescue. Have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Have 4 cats of my own so understand what it's like to desire a trusted sitter.
Hi! My name is Cheyenne, and I’m a caring, reliable childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood education. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, which gave me an early foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with children of different ages and personalities. Professionally, I started as a substitute teacher in a daycare setting, which allowed me to gain experience across multiple classrooms and age groups. From there, I was promoted to a Pre-K assistant teacher and later worked as a school-age teacher, where I continued building meaningful connections and supporting children’s learning and development. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s helping with early learning activities, homework, or just making sure your child has a great time, I bring patience, structure, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care you can feel confident in.
Hi - My name is Tamara and I’m currently working as an Admin assistant at a traffic control company. I am offering child care and pet care services during the weekend. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers and kids since 2015. My responsibilities have included feeding, crafts, playing, bath time and bed time. I can also take care of pets. I have experience with both dogs and cats; I’m not allergic to any of them. I have a valid driver’s license and I have my own vehicle. If you need references, I can share that information without any problem.
Hii! My name is Simone. I’ve been babysitting since the age 10 years old. Also stood out as more reliable, responsible, energetic. I am a nanny M-F, 5am-2pm. I’m also available on weekends and every other Friday normal timing. I’m willing to work how many hours you need me, as long as it’s after 2pm! I’m majoring in Nursing at university, this will be my sophomore year! I’m willing to travel a bit to get to you. I genuinely enjoy working with children because being around them brings me a sense of joy and fulfillment. I’m grateful to be apart of any child’s life and family that I have the opportunity to work with. Thank you for considering me, please feel free to reach out if you think I’d be a good fit!
