I’m Sara, a twenty year old student at William and Mary. I’ve been babysitting for over 6 years now. I have experience with all ages. Most recently I was an Au Pair in Australia for a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I love doing activities with the kids in my care. Either outside playing sports and games, or doing crafts inside. Whatever the weather and circumstances allow for. I pride myself on being very organized and punctual. I’m looking for part time, or occasional jobs over the summer. Whether that be childcare, household work, or running errands. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

Zoe $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Zoe, and I have one year of experience working with infants and young toddlers between 4 and 18 months old. I truly enjoy spending my days helping little ones learn, play, and grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I’m CPR certified and have all the required certifications to work in early childcare. I’m patient, caring, and always make sure every child feels secure, supported, and cared for. I love planning age appropriate, hands on activities that encourage early learning, curiosity, and developmental milestones through play. In addition to caring for children, I’m also happy to help with general cleaning and pet care. I take pride in keeping spaces clean, organized, and welcoming, and I know how important it is for families to have a comfortable, well cared for home. I’m dependable, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure families feel confident knowing their children, home, and pets are in good hands.

Hi! I’m Aleah. I have 4 years of childcare experience, including babysitting for military families at Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa, Hawaii, and at Sasebo Naval Base in Japan. I’m also a big sister to four younger sisters, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love animals, marine life, learning new things, and trying new experiences. I’m creative, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other fun adventures. I am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive while providing a safe, positive, and supportive environment.
