Skylah $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Skylah, and I’m a 22 year old sitter with a patient, optimistic, friendly, and reliable personality. I offer babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting services, and I truly enjoy helping people feel comfortable and supported while they’re away from home. When it comes to childcare, I have experience working with kids ages 1 to 13, including children with special needs. I love creating a fun and calm environment, and some of my favorite activities with kids include doing crafts, working on puzzles, going to the park, and listening to music together. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks if needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet care services. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I’m comfortable with large animals and pets that shed. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or simply spending time playing with them, I always aim to give pets the same love and attention they’d get from their owners. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for others whether it’s your children, pets, or home, I’d love to connect and see how I can help!

Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!
