Emma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a college senior studying Social Work with a strong background in childcare and a genuine love for working with kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and now in my 20s, and I’ve helped care for my two younger brothers, who are now 12 and 13. Growing up with them taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how to keep kids engaged and safe. I’ve worked in childcare at the YMCA since my freshman year of college, where I’ve cared for children from just a few weeks old up to age 13. I’ve also been involved in children’s ministry at my church since I was 14, and I’m still active there today. These experiences have helped me build strong skills in creating fun, safe, and supportive environments for kids of all ages. What I Offer: Experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (4 weeks–13 years) Over 8 years of babysitting and childcare experience Current YMCA childcare staff member Long-term involvement in the church's children’s ministry Responsible, dependable, and great with routines and activities I love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun, and I’m happy to support families with whatever they need, whether it’s babysitting, help with homework, or just keeping things running smoothly at home.

Noelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’ve been working in childcare since 2016. I have a Child Development Associate (CDA) and currently work as a preschool teacher, a role I truly love and feel deeply called to do. Caring for young children has always been more than a job to me. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where children feel seen, supported, and secure. At the same time, I care deeply about supporting families by offering dependable, thoughtful care that allows them to rest, recharge, and prioritize themselves without worry. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, and I’m very comfortable following routines, guiding transitions, and meeting each child where they are developmentally. Whether we’re playing, reading, winding down for bedtime, or simply sharing a calm moment, my goal is always to help children feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away. Whether you’re looking for date night care, backup support, or an extra set of trusted hands, I would love to partner with your family and help lighten your load in 2026 and beyond!
