Leah 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
$20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Leah, I’m very confident in my judgment and maturity, and I’ve always felt completely comfortable caring for children. With their curiosity and endless energy makes them such a joy to be around. I’m responsible and dependable, but also fun, upbeat, and hands-on. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a college graduate, specializing in early childhood development, with a strong focus on children’s nutrition and age-appropriate interaction for infants, toddlers, and older children. With me, your child will have fun while learning and playing. We read books, play games, work on puzzles, blow bubbles, draw, color, and do lots of creative art activities. Every activity is tailored to the child’s age, I always check with parents to make sure everything is approved. Your child’s happiness, well-being, and safety are always my top priority. I make sure they feel safe and cared at all times. Schedule for afternoon and evening hours. I enjoy forming a strong bond with the child as well with the parents. Presently looking for one or two days a week, Monday through Thursday evening hours. Happily looking for my next family.
“Leah is fantastic! Our little took to her instantly and would ask for her to come over. Leah is reliable, caring, and creative. She was excellent at sticking to the routine we had while also coming up with fun and engaging activities for our little. She is responsive and would send updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!”
Amelia $17 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Amelia and I'm offering child care, senior care, and pet care. I come from a big family so I have experience with infants/toddlers. I use to work at a facility helping those with dementia. I started caregiving as a teenager and have also worked in private home care. I assisted with toileting, bathing, showering, preparing meals, helping with physical therapy. I have 5 cats so I wouldn't mind taking care of more! I've helped cared for dogs and birds for previous clients. I also don't mind doing light or deep cleaning around the house, and is willing to house sit.
