Hana $30 per hour for 1 child

Media Professional Turned Early Childhood Educator | Thoughtful, Creative, and Engaging Caregiver Hi! I’m Hana—a media professional turned early childhood educator with over five years of childcare experience, from preschools to private families and social services. I’ve always been passionate about uplifting children, creating meaningful learning moments, and fostering a sense of curiosity and confidence in every child I work with. After several years at HBO, I decided to shift gears and step into the classroom. My goal? To gain firsthand experience in child development, bringing what I learn into the future of educational media and technology for good. But at my core, I simply love spending time with kids—encouraging their creativity, answering their big questions, and supporting their unique ways of learning and growing. As a sitter, I bring warmth, patience, and a deep respect for child and family.

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! ✨

Jamora $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.
