Victoria $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I'm a patient, responsible, and experienced caregiver offering child care, pet sitting, and household help. My journey began as an older sister caring for my younger siblings and their friends from the age of 13. I'm currently the devoted "auntie" to four children (ages 3–5) whom I regularly babysit and spend social time with, keeping me current on the unique needs and energy of the preschool age group. My care philosophy is based on being an attentive, reliable, and warm presence—someone who can follow a routine while also inventing fun, spontaneous activities. My caregiving extends to animals! I'm an experienced dog-sitter, acting as an "auntie" to three dogs for extended periods when their families travel. I'm comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including feeding, walking, and maintaining their schedules. I'm also happy to assist with household help, such as cleaning or running errands, to support your family's needs. I am an adaptable, calm, and proactive caregiver who truly enjoys nurturing and supporting those in my care.

Elizabeth 1 review
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I started this fabulous new adventure just after retiring from an award winning career as an educator and assistant principal in May of 2024! Being able to give my complete undivided attention to connect and engage with only one to three children as opposed to 30 or more is a priceless opportunity, and for me a “fantastic gift to both the child and caregiver!” It’s this rewarding fact that convinces me that you and I would make a fantastic fit for your child! I’ve worked with children infants to school age for over 24 years. This all began at 12 years old, and because I became so impulse with parents of children from infant to elementary that I became a contract babysitter to ensure you had me when you needed! I work well with ALL I care for, this includes, the two legged and four legged family members! While working with HEAD START and for all staff from daycares obtaining accreditation for infants to school age I was a certified American Red Cross instructor CPR and First Aid and safety for all caregivers of infants to school age (elementary) While I taught for DODEA department of defense Education Activities and wrote and obtained my first grant creating a theater drama after school program at one school site and a visual arts after school program for another school site! While I received many awards from both the community and commanding general, the real reward for me was seeing children engage and thrive like never before. I believe that we can and should engage with children of all ages every way every day possible. This begins with infancy and the success and growth from this is seen on a daily basis. Let me show you first hand, how engaging with your child daily reaps life changing success and mindset!

She is so engaged for those she's caring for, is why she remains so popular, so book early.

Kaniyah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a recent biology graduate currently working in healthcare, with plans to pursue medical school in the future. Caring for others has always been important to me, which is one of the reasons I genuinely enjoy babysitting and spending time with kids. I have several years of experience caring for children through both paid babysitting and helping family and friends, and I’m comfortable working with kids of different ages. I love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can have fun and feel supported. Whether that’s playing games, doing creative activities, reading, helping with homework, or getting ready for bedtime, I enjoy keeping children active and entertained while making sure they feel comfortable. My background in healthcare also means I’m very attentive, responsible, and focused on safety when caring for children. Families often describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently looking for occasional or weekend babysitting opportunities such as date nights or part-time help. I’d love to connect with families and provide reliable care you can feel confident about! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or schedule a time to meet.
