Hi There! My name is Rachel and I'm 29 years old. I currently work full time as an accounting assistant at a small manufacturing company. I’m looking to fill my extra time babysitting on the weekends, I like to stay busy! I have over 10 years of childcare experience and would love to work with your family and assist with any of your childcare needs. I am adaptable with an easy-going personality. I started working at my church's Summer Camp program and Sunday School/nursery when I was 15 years old. During college I got my first nannying job and I have since been a nanny for 3 wonderful families. In addition to this, I have also babysat for many families since 2017, whether it be one time or regularly. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, spending time outside, cooking, and traveling. My hobbies include taking dance classes, ice skating lessons, and playing in the bell choir at church. I have a valid driver's license, insurance, and a clean driving record. In addition, we do not have any pets at my house and I'm a non-smoker. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you!
Hi - My name is Safia and I’m currently a junior at the University of St. Thomas, studying finance. I love kids and have experience working with them my whole life — I have two younger siblings who I’ve babysat since I was young. I also worked at an autism center for 3 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m also comfortable with household chores and genuinely enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized. I have been a caretaker for my grandma, so I’m well experienced with senior care too. I am allergic to and scared of dogs, but happy to work with families with cats.
Hi! My name is Lucianna but I go by Lu, I’m currently a senior at PHS. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience with mostly ages 2 and up. I’d love to help with any needs for you and your family such as; picking kids up from school, crafts, homework help, driving kids to any practices, and of course any house chores that need to be done. Im also available for any pet sitting/care. I’ve been around many different types of animals my whole life and have grown very fawn of them. Dogs are where I’m mostly experienced but I also have experience with cats, reptiles, and rodents. My schedule will be more open and flexible starting in June!
