Hello Parents! My name is Karen, and I am from Mexico. I am currently attending nursing school. I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys spending time with kids. I believe in being respectful, responsible, creative, friendly, playful, energetic, affectionate, patient, and kind when it comes to taking care of children. I have taken care of children of all ages and types, but I'm especially experienced with infants and toddlers. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to come up with creative and engaging activities that keep kids entertained while also teaching them something new. I am fully qualified to take care of infants, and I have received training in Basic Life Support from the American Heart Association and in Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid from the American Safety & Health Institute. • I'm currently available for date nights and occasional jobs. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to chat with you. ★ » I do have a 4hr minimum though I don’t have to be physically present for all 4hrs. This is because I plan my time around the hours booked. Thanks 😊

Hi i'm Amber😊 Caring for children and being a positive part of their growth is something I truly love. With five years of childcare experience (YMCA, Jovie, ect), I provide a safe, patient, and fun environment where children--from infants to pre-teens--can learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a college degree. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with crafts, games, and creative activities while following each family's routines and household preferences. I believe open communication is important, so I'm always happy to provide updates throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind and make sure every child feels safe, happy, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Nice mild mannered young woman. Kept in contact with me the entire day ”

Hi, my name is Sharon - a Joy carrier and easy to work with. I have a lot of experience babysitting and I’ve worked with different companies like SitterTree, etc. I love children and the light and joy they bring to this world. I have worked with special needs children and it’s amazing and a blessing to work with them as well. I can also run errands, household duties and any work that needs to be done in the house. I also have some experience sitting elderly people - listening to wisdom is always key. God bless you ☺️

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a responsible, caring and dependable professional who enjoys helping families make life a little easier. With 20 years experience caring for children, pets, and aging family members I've learned; Children keep me young and grounded, pets keep me active and seniors keep me appreciative of life's journey. Communication and transparency are important to me and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment where everyone feels well cared for and at ease. I am currently open to occasional roles 1-2 days per week and for new/first time families, I am open to interviews ahead of booking, prefer to at least have a phone call ahead of first visit and only accept payments via car and then after time, happy to transition to other forms. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

“Alexis was prompt in reaching out we connected before the booking. She was a good communicator came on time and did the duties as assigned. Very pleasant and punctual”
