I am a retired mom of three young adults and now have plenty of free time. I have extensive experience caring for young children and am available in the mornings. You can have peace of mind knowing your precious little ones are in good hands. My morning schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to your needs.
Hi, I’m currently finishing up my masters in OT! I have childcare experience ranging from 6 m.o. to 10 y.o.! I love working with kids of all ages and once I finish my program I hope to work with pediatric! I also have experience working with children with special needs!
Hi! My name is Shimaine, but you can call me Shi (pronounced like “shy”). I’m a loving, fun, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages. My journey started in middle school and high school, babysitting for families in my community. During undergrad, I worked for an on-call nanny agency, gaining even more hands-on experience with children of all ages. I later worked as a CNA and direct care provider, assisting individuals with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, and meal prep. When it comes to kids, I’m all about keeping them entertained and engaged. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or coming up with creative ways to make daily routines more fun. I understand that every child is different, and I know how to connect with them on their level. Currently, I’m a Registered Behavior Technician and working toward my Behavior Analyst certification, so I have plenty of experience with structure, positive reinforcement, and making learning fun. As a dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help in pet-friendly homes. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR certification, and a strong commitment to making life easier for families. Looking forward to helping out however I can!
“I've worked with and highly recommend Shi as a babysitter! As an RBT, they have exceptional experience working with children, including those with diverse needs. Their patience, creativity, and ability to keep kids engaged make them a fantastic caregiver. Parents can trust that their children are in safe, capable, and caring hands!”
I'm a dedicated and energetic babysitter with 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a military background, which has instilled in me discipline, reliability, and strong organizational skills. I love working with kids, creating fun and engaging activities, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have CPR and First Aid training (in progress), and I'm comfortable driving, assisting with homework, and helping around the house with light housekeeping. I'm available for part-time and/or full time positions and bring enthusiasm, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. Your children's safety, growth, and happiness are my top priorities!
“Frances came through for me on short notice to babysit my son before school started. And she dropped him off safely as well. Thank you!”
Hello, My name is Vanessa, and I am a high school teacher. I taught language arts for 20 years and am currently in the discipline department at a high school. I have experience with children and pets, and I speak fluent Spanish and English. I have helped take care of my grandmother, so I can assist in taking care of an elderly person. I am organized, disciplined, and caring. I also have two dogs and a bird, so I am experienced in caring for animals.
