Margarita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨

Nicky $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nicky, and I am a junior in college currently available for part-time childcare. I have been babysitting for several years, primarily working with children between the ages of infant to 13. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I am happy to help with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and academic support. Outside of school and babysitting, I am a college student-athlete, so I love staying active and getting outside. I enjoy encouraging kids to put down the screens, get some fresh air, and have fun through outdoor activities, games, and playtime. I also have a strong passion for the arts. I enjoy theater, dance, literature, drawing, knitting, crocheting, and other creative activities. I love incorporating these interests into childcare through crafts, creative projects, reading, and imaginative play. Music is another big part of my life. I have experience with piano, percussion, guitar, and vocals, and I also offer one-on-one music lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument or developing their vocal skills. Overall, I love working with children and creating activities that match their interests and personalities. I would be happy to help your family with childcare, homework, household tasks, creative activities, and keeping your children active and engaged!

$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants. I’m super gentle, patient, and I’m happy to help with things like feeding, diaper changes, or bath time. I’m also totally fine following whatever routine you already have. I’m just here to make things easier and keep your baby happy and comfortable. I’m available part time, and I’d love to help out if you need someone!
