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. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I started working in daycare at 17 years old and have been in it ever since. I am now currently a teacher assistant at River Mill Academy and RBT. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I provide as well pet care services, I was raised with different animals and I always had a love for them.

Ginny High Point
$15 per hour for 1 child

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! (Of course with parent permission!) I am very reliable and can handle errands, pick ups from after school activities taking kids to different places. I’m also comfortable with pets and can help with light household tasks to keep things running smoothly.

Hope High Point
$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.

I have a passion working with children, helping them to grow, develop and learn by considering each child's uniqueness. I have been providing guidance and support to children. I have been babysitting and working for childcare over two years. My role involves taking care of youngest to older children , serving meals, changing diaper, clean after eating, putting for nap.
