Myra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe

Shekezi $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kezi, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with kindness, attention, and respect. I offer attentive childcare, including supervising children, helping with feeding and mealtimes, diaper changes, maintaining routines, engaging children in fun activities, and keeping their spaces tidy. I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and dependable hands. I enjoy helping children learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. This can include reading books, singing songs, playing games, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, and encouraging creativity and development.

Hi families! I’m Alexa, a nurturing, playful, and dependable caregiver with years of hands-on childcare experience. From daycares, teaching, babysitting and now a nanny for a private family of two years my experience is pretty well-rounded and has given me the skills to adapt to each child’s unique needs with ease and care. I love creating safe, engaging environments where kids can play, learn, and grow with care. From imaginative play and outdoor adventures I’m all about giving children my full attention and making every day both fun and structured.
