Sarahgrace $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarahgrace, and I have about 4 years of experience babysitting, house sitting, and dog sitting. I recently graduated college with my Associate of Science and am now attending cosmetology school! I’m CPR certified and have references available. I’ve always loved working with kids and hope to have a family of my own one day! I’m currently hoping to find a family who needs help with school drop-offs/pick-ups or afternoon care. I’m also happy to occasionally help with date nights, weekends, or as-needed childcare. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can trust and rely on! 💕

Christopher $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Christopher. I'm married and have a son who's 2.5 years old. My wife has epilepsy, so I have more experience than the average father caring for an infant/toddler. Every once in a while, I have free time to assist other families with their child care needs, or handyman projects around the house. What makes me qualified: Four years experience working at the North River YMCA, in Hixson, TN as a swim instructor and lifeguard. The YMCA has a long-standing reputation for trusted quality childcare. During my time at the YMCA I was a swim instructor. Working with children of all ages, from infants all the way up to high school ages. I even taught a few senior adults! The YMCA has strict childcare standards that I still adhere to and safety is extremely important to me. What I do: I'm currently working roofing sales full-time in a professional capacity. It takes the majority of my time, but I occasionally find time for side gigs. A "jack of all trades" type, I can help with general handyman projects, furniture assembly, and home maintenance projects. I also hold an untarnished driving record (not even a parking ticket) and drive a 2016 Toyota Highlander with seating up to 6 passengers. I also enjoy volunteering at my church as a musician, playing guitar and singing vocals. Talk to me: I'm happy to have conversations with you in advance. Please take the time to meet up for coffee, so we can get to know each other. I'm excited to connect with local families, so don't be a stranger!

Teresa $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, when my first child was born, I was nervous about sending her to a daycare. So I became certified and started my own home daycare. I also, completed early childhood courses in college. I have certifications in CPR, AED and First Aid. Sometimes at church I care for the 1 yr and 2 yr olds. Being in the presence and caring for children gives me so much happiness! I’m a mom and grandmother that loves children. My grandchildren live in a different state, so I don’t get to live on them as much as I would like. **I also love pets, I became a breeder 11 years ago. First I bred dwarf rabbits. Now I breed Bengal kittens and Yorkie puppies. **I enjoy caring for seniors, listening to stories of when they were young and appreciating their wisdom. It’s also a way for me to give back, for all the nurture and love that my grandparents to me. Thanks for your consideration!
