Caren $25 per hour for 1 child

My first babysitting job was when I was 13 years old. Now I care for my own 2 children, a boy and girl so I can play ball and dress up! I work as a Payroll Specialist FT. As a former school district employee, children's safety and education are important to me. I'm an active volunteer for back to school and related events.

Juliet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Juliet, I am a 31 year old residing in Bella Vista, and I have over a decade of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to teens. I currently nanny for a 2.5-year-old and previously cared for two school-aged children, as well as worked as an after-school teacher with students from Pre-K through 6th grade. I became an aunt when I was 12 and took a very active role in the care of my niece and nephew, so childcare is near and dear to my heart! I love supporting children’s growth through play, creativity, and consistency. With a background in psychology, I bring a trauma-informed and developmentally focused approach to childcare, making sure each child feels safe, supported, and celebrated. I’m also happy to assist with household tasks, meal prep, and transportation to keep family routines running smoothly. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and engaged. I would be honored to bring my experience, patience, and enthusiasm to your family and help your children thrive.

Moira $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Moira! I am a compassionate and adaptable individual who is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of others. I have a passion for working with people of all ages and abilities, with a particular focus on infants/toddlers, adolescents, and teens. My professional and volunteer background includes experience in child care, education, experiential learning, and as a social worker for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Currently, I am working as a youth rock climbing coach, where I have expanded my knowledge of experiential education and coaching skills, as well as developed a passion for mentoring and empowering young people. Through my work and volunteering, I have experience working with individuals of varying physical and intellectual disabilities. This has taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and effective communication in building meaningful connections with others. I enjoy adapting to different individual’s needs to create inclusive environments that allow people to thrive! In addition to my work with people, I also have experience with house and pet sitting. My love for animals has made me a natural fit for this type of work, and I am confident in my ability to care for furry friends of all shapes and sizes!
