Ava $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ava, and I am an 18-year-old caregiver with experience in babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have approximately four years of hands-on experience caring for children and over eight years of experience working with animals. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, clean, and positive environment for families and pets. I have three to four years of experience caring for toddlers and grade-school children. While my experience with infants is limited, I am eager and willing to learn. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines such as getting children ready for school or bed, preparing basic meals, helping with homework, and maintaining schedules. I enjoy engaging children through activities like coloring, watching shows, playing games, and taking them to parks or fun outings. I also have my own car, allowing me to safely transport children to and from school or activities when needed. Additionally, I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. In terms of pet care, I have experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Cane Corsos to Yorkies—as well as reptiles and small animals. My services include feeding, walking, playing, basic training, cage cleaning, and general care. I have no allergies and am comfortable caring for long-haired animals and pets of any size. For household support, I offer cleaning, tidying, laundry, organizing, plant care, cooking basic meals, and running errands. I can also provide my own cleaning supplies if required. I take pride in being dependable, adaptable, and attentive to the unique needs of each household.

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.

Brit $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Brit, an energetic, creative, and experienced caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers! My love for working with kids started early, tutoring younger students in reading and math and babysitting throughout high school. In college, I worked as a Direct Support Professional for children with disabilities, and later spent several years nannying for families in Chicago. I'm outgoing, patient, playful, and a little silly! I love encouraging curiosity, creativity, learning, and adventure while creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids can thrive. I'm also a great tutor, an excellent housekeeper, and happy to help keep busy households running smoothly. Beyond childcare, I have extensive experience pet sitting and house sitting around the world. I'm responsible, adaptable, dependable, and genuinely enjoy caring for people, pets, and homes. I bring lots of energy, warmth, and enthusiasm to everything I do—and I can't wait to meet you!
