Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced early childhood educator and caregiver with over 7 years of experience working with children ages 16 months to 6 years in both school settings and private homes. My background includes roles as a preschool and pre-kindergarten teacher, private preschool educator and nanny, and lead teacher at a nature school. My approach to childcare is holistic, nurturing, and developmentally focused. I love creating environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to explore. I design activities that support social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual growth, including early learning skills, arts and crafts, music, storytelling, imaginative play, and hands-on experiences. I enjoy helping children develop independence, problem-solving skills, and confidence while encouraging creativity and curiosity every day. I am passionate about incorporating mindfulness, movement, and time outdoors. I have led yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation practices to build body awareness, focus, and confidence. Nature exploration is also central to my teaching, encouraging curiosity, compassion, and respect for the world around us. As a nanny and private preschool teacher, I’ve provided personalized learning at home, supporting daily routines while creating playful learning opportunities through art, puzzles, imaginative play, cooking, and life skills. I also founded a summer program called Synergy Adventure Days, guiding children on nature-based learning adventures to explore ecosystems, wildlife, and the beauty of natural parks. I love animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and birds. I am organized, reliable, and happy to help with household tasks, errands, and preparing meals or snacks for children and families. I have a naturally playful and childlike spirit, which helps me connect easily with children. I love being imaginative and fully present in their world; whether building forts, exploring outside, creating art, or diving into storytelling and games. Kids connect with me quickly, and I genuinely love the energy and wonder they bring. I strive to make every day fun, engaging, and full of learning, so children feel confident, joyful, and inspired. Families describe me as warm, nurturing, present, calm, and deeply attentive, with a joyful, engaging energy. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where children feel supported, confident, and curious to explore and learn.

Being around animals brings me joy, and having the opportunity to take care of your dog, cat or other pet is something that I truly love. I'll take care of your fur baby as if it's my own, and I'll do everything possible to make sure that their time with me is super enjoyable! I'm experienced with both puppies, kittens and senior cats and dogs. I've given pets their insulin injection, and I'm able to give even the most stubborn pet their oral medication. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming and strength training.

Jordan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jordan, I am a college student with three beautiful cats, Danny, Skippy, and stormy. I’ve been dog sitting, housesitting, and cat sitting for about 12 years. It started with helping my family anytime we house sit, and now I’m trusted by friends, family, and family friends to watch their house, children, and pets! I am going back to college for a degree in social work, and I’m currently working at a nearby hospital as a behavior tech. I used to be a nursing major, and I still keep up with my certifications including CPR/first aid. I hope I can be of assistance to anyone who might need it.
