ilvana $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a loving and responsible mom of two — I have an 11-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter. Over the years, I’ve cared for several children on weekends, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. Families often tell me that even the most energetic or difficult children feel calm and comfortable with me. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or keeping children engaged in positive activities. Caring for kids is something that comes naturally to me, and I treat every child with the same love and patience as I do my own.

Shaam $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shaam, and I bring over five years of hands-on experience as both a babysitter and pet sitter. I’m someone families can depend on calm under pressure, naturally nurturing, and highly organized. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, as well as family pets, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining structure and consistency. I recently earned my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in psychology and criminal justice, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills that I apply every day in caregiving. My background allows me to connect with children in meaningful ways, whether it's supporting their emotional needs, helping with homework, or simply being a positive, consistent presence in their day. Organization is one of my strongest traits. I’m excellent at creating smooth daily routines, planning educational and fun activities, managing multiple responsibilities, and keeping homes tidy and efficient. I’ve also coached and mentored youth in sports, which has strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to motivate and uplift others. Above all, I truly care. I show up with kindness, respect, and a willingness to support families however they need. Whether I’m helping a child with their bedtime routine, keeping pets active and happy, or maintaining a calm household environment, I always give my best. I’m here to make life easier and more joyful for the families I work with

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been babysitting for a while now I started off babysitting my nephew when I was young.

I love cooking especially some shrimp alfredo pasta yumm! I love making snacks for the kids and creating fun activities for them. Especially art activities and baking with them!
