$18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Renee and I am an 18 year old senior graduating 2026. I offer child care, pet care, and a bit of household services. Since as young as I can remember I have been babysitting for family members and close family friends; ranging from infants to toddlers and kids (8months - 10yo) My responsibilities include baths, entertainment, snacks, and just ensuring their well being. I worked for a summer school/camp for over 2 summers with elementary school students where I had to transport them from place to place, help with tutoring and work, and making sure they had a fun time up at site or at the school facilities. For household services I am able to run errands and do some cleaning. I have a love for pets as I have a cat myself and am comfortable with pet sitting friendly animals!! With that being said, I may not have a lot to show on my profile but I can assure you I take my jobs seriously and ensure safety. I’m always available to answer questions as well just reach out.
“Renee is a very hard working girl that does what she can to her best abilities, very much on her own pace and time. She's very good at crafts for entertainment that keeps people busy at times. She was really into baking as a kid and is trying to get into cooking as of recently. She is almost always available after school hours (2:30) or when no events are happening as she is a senior in high school. She has been babysitting for relatives/family since a younger age up until highschool. She babysat all 3 of her nephews/niece since they were babies. She loves taking care of kids and being around them. For 2 summers she worked at a summer camp as a counselor for elementary school kids and is planning on going back this summer as well. On top of that she recently adopted a cat who has been attached to her since we took her home and takes care of sher like her own child. Renee is very good with pets as long as they are docile and friendly. Though she doesn't have a car, transportation would be the main topic but given the time she always tries to be timely and prepared with her jobs.”

Hello, my name is Giulia . I’m a senior in high school soon to be graduating. I’m 18 years old. I have a lot of experience with younger children. I have two little siblings of my own seven and nine who I’ve helped raise and plenty of little baby cousins that I always help babysit. I’m great with kids kids love me. I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can clean cook run errands take them to the park, do fun activities with them and help with homework. I’ll make them healthy and delicious meals and you won’t have to worry about them when they’re with me. I know my age, might look a little young, but I come from an Albanian household, which is huge by the way, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I’m looking forward to watching your kids while you parents get your work done or have a very well deserved night out! If you have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be willing to answer anything nothing is too personal!<3
