Hope $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hope, all the kiddos call me pGigi. Caring for children is more than just a job for me; it's a passion that grew from positive babysitting experiences and a genuine desire to make a difference in young lives. For the past four years, l've enjoyed providing reliable childcare for families with children aged newborns to any age. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and happy to help with light housekeeping, such as dishes and laundry and feeding any fur babies. I use my creative and friendly personality to engage children through outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I also bring my own rolling toy bag with lots of neat stuff in it that all my kiddos have loved going thru every week. I also prioritize and promote open communication with parents through in-person communication or text messaging. We all must be on the same page to make it a great experience for the children. Happy children. Happy Family. I am 58 years old and a proud Christian mother to my son and daughter and two grandchildren. The best part of my life was being with my children in their early years. I have all five star reviews on here as well as letters of recommendations from other families I e worked for not on this site. I tell all the parents that I will treat your children with the same kindness, respect, compassion and love as I give to my own. That’s what all children deserve. If interested let me know I’d be happy to care for your little ones.

Hi! My name is Yolina and I'm currently a freshman at SNHU studying to become a teacher. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services.

Daria $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Daria. I truly have a heart for children and love being around them. I've gained experience babysitting my younger cousins over the years, and it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm currently in college studying Health Service Management, with plans to go into accelerated nursing after earning my Bachelor's degree. My dream is to become a neonatal nurse so I can care for infants and support families during their most precious moments. I'm certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I have my certification up to date. Overall, I'm patient, caring, and reliable, and I always try to bring positive energy wherever I go. I'd love the opportunity to help care for your little ones!

Zhaire $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! 🩷 My name is Zhaire, and I’m a sophomore Early Childhood Development major at North Carolina A&T State University. I was born and raised in Maryland, where I gained 2–3 years of experience working at Crofton’s Children Center with children ages 2–10. I am also a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential holder, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need a caring and dependable babysitter while also earning extra income to help support myself throughout college. I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones! 🩷
