Maggie Palmyra
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Maggie! I’m 19 years old and work full time at State Farm during the week (9–5). I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, babysitting for neighbors and cousins of different ages. I’m responsible, patient, and love spending time with kids. I’m also about to be CPR certified for added safety. At home, I have a gentle Great Dane named Archie, so I’m very comfortable with pets as well. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive. I’m available to babysit weekday evenings after 5 PM and on weekends, whether you need help for a date night or extra support while you work.

Glenda babysat my children for 5 years since they were 3 months old. We admire her patience, reliability, and high standards of hygiene and safety. She is well organized and maintains structured daily routines for the children. She inspired her kids with art and crafts and outdoor play. During the challenging times of the pandemic, she showed a lot of flexibility in accommodating our schedules as well as our kids social emotional needs. We highly recommend Glenda. Being bilingual is a plus.

I absolutely love animals and regularly pet sit for my family and friends, I’m the go to for pet sitting because my commitment to animals knows no bounds. I’m more of a cat person, but absolutely love dogs as well. Smaller animals are more than acceptable, I have experience with hamsters, rats, ferrets, reptiles and amphibians of various backgrounds, invertebrates, and fish. I’m willing to negotiate rates for various tasks and needs, this is mostly just to pass the time as caring for animals is something I love doing. (even the “unpleasantness” of a litter box of tank water change) Ideally I’m able to work as a “drop-in” sitter since I do have a full time job. Willing to drop in 1-6 times a day depending on needs of pet. Flexible in terms of what I’m willing to do depending on the location and pet. Message me for any questions about what services I’m willing to do. I have two special needs cats of my own who have required specialized care that I, have faithfully and successfully committed to for the last 6 years of their lives. (sorry to brag) I promise to do everything I agree to do at the start of the job and clarify any and every question I have to ensure your pet has proper care and safety while under my care. Hesitant to babysit human children as I’m more of a pet guy, but willing to if they’re older children. I understand that some children may have uncommon forms of communication and have experience with nonverbal children. I personally have autism and adhd so I do have some understanding of what that looks and feels like for a child. I’m willing to help with tutoring, I never could afford college, but I was a spectacular student. I’m especially talented in English. My little sister has quite a few learning disabilities so I was regularly responsible for helping her with homework, which she found especially challenging. I follow instructions to the letter and am not above admitting when I am not able to/willing to do something. I will do my very best to honor and respect household rules and values while in the presence of your family.

$13 per hour for 1 child

I am a former preschool/pre k teacher. I have my CDA. Prior to the pandemic I worked a childcare facility for about two years. My two main age groups were 2-3 year olds and 3-4 year olds during the school year. I also have experience with school age children, for the after school program, and spent a summer as a summer time teacher/camp counselor with that same age group. I have some experience with infants as well, because I would sometimes step into the infant room in order to allow the main teacher in the to take their lunch break. I was a tennis coach in HS/ day camp counselor. I have babysat for various families over the years from my teen years until now.
