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

Rosmy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rosmy, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have experience working with both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children, so I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or keeping a consistent routine, I always make sure children feel cared for and supported. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being while making sure they have a great time. I look forward to getting to know your family!
