Lushay $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am Lushay 25 years old I'm a caregiver with a passion for nurturing children's growth and development. With five years of experience in childcare, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a safe and nurturing environment for their little ones. Patience and creativity are my superpowers, which help me connect with children and make learning fun. I believe in open communication with parents, keeping them updated about their child's day and addressing any concerns they may have. Whether it's engaging in outdoor activities, playing board games, or exploring educational games, I thrive on creating a joyful and enriching experience for the children in my care. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel-related tasks. As a certified CPR provider, safety is always my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family.

Hi! I’m Lindsey, a reliable and caring sitter with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. Throughout college, I worked at a school, where I gained hands-on experience supporting and engaging with children in a structured environment. I’m patient, organized, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, positive space for kids- whether that’s helping with homework, doing activities, or following routines.

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!
