Hi! My name is Harmony, and I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring college student with a strong passion for working with children. I have several years of experience caring for kids in different settings, including youth programs, camps, babysitting, and coaching. I love planning creative activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and games that keep kids active and entertained. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and included. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, supervising playtime, or encouraging kids to try new things, I strive to make every experience enjoyable and meaningful. In addition to childcare, I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping such as tidying up, dishes, laundry, and keeping common areas clean. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your child!
While I do not have formal professional caregiving experience, I have many years of hands-on experience. I come from a large family and have cared for over 15 nieces and nephews, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have been the go-to babysitter for my family, so I am comfortable with diapers, bottles, feeding, bedtime routines, keeping children entertained, and all the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for little ones. When it comes to pets, I am a huge animal lover! I have my own little “mini zoo” at home with 4 dogs and 3 cats. They are my babies, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I would want anyone caring for my pets to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I do, and I bring that same level of care to other’s fur babies. I am also comfortable around reptiles and other types of animals. I would describe myself as caring, patient, dependable, attentive, and responsible. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to providing my best work. If you give me your preferred routine and standard of care, I will follow it closely and make sure your loved ones receive the attention and care you expect. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident knowing that your children, pets, and home are in good hands. If you need pictures or updates through the job, just ask!

“We absolutely love Ms Bella and feel so lucky to have found her! She has extensive experience working in Montessori-certified schools and truly brings that knowledge into her caregiving. Her years of teaching experience really show in the way she interacts with our children. She is wonderful at handling my kids. What I appreciate most is how she encourages discipline and independence in such a positive and nurturing way. If you’re looking for a sitter with strong Montessori experience who will genuinely care for your children while helping them grow, I highly recommend her!”

Hi! My name is Ruth, and I’m a high school senior planning to attend college next fall to study Construction Management. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys helping others and making sure children feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for my mom’s friend’s daughter, Belen, who is now two years old. I’ve been helping take care of her since she was 3 months old. I also have experience looking after my younger sister, Alexa, who is 11. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I enjoy having fun and keeping children entertained, while also making sure they follow appropriate rules and boundaries. My top priority is always the safety and well-being of the children I’m caring for. I’m excited to meet new families and provide dependable, caring, and trustworthy childcare!
