Chloe $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve always had a passion for helping kids grow, learn, and have fun. This Previous summer I worked at a summer camp where I was in charge of 14 to 16 girls in this position I ran in facilitated activities, provided first aid, solved conflict in the cabin, created meaningful connections with campers, ran craft time, maintained the cleanliness of Camp, and stayed on a schedule. I received honor staff for going above and beyond and creating meaningful relationships with campers and creating environment where everyone felt like they belonged. During school, I have taken health science and child development. And these classes I received certification in OSHA, first aid, CPR, stop the bleed, and I am a BLS lifesaver. A few words I would use to describe me are caring, patient, outgoing, responsible, and fun. I want a family who will communicate with me so we can be on the same page to have the best experience possible. The most amount of kids that I would prefer to work with is three, but I’m always willing to work with parents. I have reliable transportation, I don’t smoke, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m really excited to have the opportunity to work with your family. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or if you want to get to know me a little bit more!

Hi! my name’s Ginny and I’m a second year college student looking for a babysitting job! I have over 7 years of babysitting experience and have also worked as a full-time nanny for two summers. I’ve cared for children from infants to teens and enjoy keeping them occupied with activities, homework help, outdoor play, and literally anything that sparks their interest!

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.
