I'm a happy go lucky person I love kids and can't wait to hear from you soon have a great day will ttys,................... ....... ........,..............................................................
“I have known Angie for several decades and have always found her to be a loving giving woman who loves children and animals. She can always be counted on and is always 'true' to her word. She is a hard worker and there is no job she cannot handle. She has helped me many times (as I'm elderly) with housework, etc. She is a very special friend that I am blessed to have in my 'corner'.”
Tasia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is T’Asia, and I am a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider. I am also a mother to two young children—a 3-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl—which has given me hands-on experience with infants and toddlers and a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and safety. I provide a nurturing and structured environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn through play. I am experienced with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, potty training support, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, music, and outdoor play. As a parent, I understand how important trust and communication are. I take pride in being attentive, reliable, and respectful of each family’s preferences and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I remain calm and patient in all situations. I am happy to help with light childcare-related tasks, including meal prep for children and tidying play areas. I look forward to working with a family who values loving, dependable care and open communication. References are available upon request.

My name is Keidy and you can think of me as your Swiss Army knife of child care. Not only am I backed by years of experience and multiple first aid certifications, but my love of children (especially the furry ones) as well! If you give me the opportunity I will protect and entertain your little one while you’re out being super mom/ dad!
“Keidy was a pleasure to have and demonstrated excellent attention to detail while caring for my six-month-old dog and my seven-year-old niece, who can be quite a handful.”

Skylar $17 per hour for 1 child
My name is Skylar, I am currently a college student majoring in dental hygiene. I have plenty of experience with kids and pets since I was 14. I am very attentive and mindful when watching children and I practice with them in terms of communication, emotional regulation/support, and of course safety! I also carefully abide by any medication, eating, and bed time schedules. I strive to allow parents to go out on the town again knowing their babies are safe with hourly updates!!
