"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Marianna $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Marianna and I would love to help take care of your little ones. I used to sit small children (ages 4-7) years ago and would love to do so again. I’m a medical assistant by profession, therefore I know first aid well and have a few years experience working in pediatrics. I will care for your children well and protect them. I also love animals and working with them; our family has a yorkie and a cocker spaniel. I am patient, kind, and fun. I would love to work with you!
Amanda $19 per hour for 1 child
I have a Bachelor's education in Human Development Psychology. Previous Montessori & early childhood experience. I spent the last decade doing social work with all ages in the community. I have skills to offer caregiving and practical life improvement assistance to folks of any age.
Sally $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m the eldest of six, the mother of four, and the grandmother of seven! I’ve always had dogs, cats, and small animals. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and substitute teacher experience. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper. I love people and animals and they generally love me, too!
Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!
Michael $25 per hour for 1 child
Welcome — my name is Michael! I’m an educator, parent, and lifelong caregiver with over 25 years of experience working with children, seniors, plants, and cats. I hold a master’s degree in Public Administration and completed all coursework for a master’s in the Art of Teaching. Over the years, I’ve raised five children and numerous godchildren, coached youth sports, and led art, tutoring, and community programs that center creativity and care. I love the outdoors, plants, cooking, music, and meditation — and I bring that same balance and joy into the homes I support. Families describe me as calm, reliable, and nurturing, with a structured yet easygoing approach that helps everyone feel at ease. I’m happy to cook and do light cleaning, but I’m not a housekeeper — no deep cleaning. I’m great with cats and plants, and I’m still working on overcoming my fear of dogs. I look forward to connecting with families who value kindness, growth, and good energy in their home.
