Kaima $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. Not only did I grow up taking care of my younger cousins & nephew, but I have been babysitting for the past 6 years. I also have experience mentoring elementary school students in underserved communities, which has strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

Elyssa $16 per hour for 1 child

I think being a kid at heart myself, makes it easy for me to get along with kids and build relationships with them. I really enjoy being in the mind of little ones, they are all so unique and fun personality's! I've enjoyed my time hanging out with kids in my own family, and ones who became like family. Kids and parents alike. I don't mind getting on the floor and playing along, or going outside and finding something fun to do. Or even just caring for the extra little ones and making sure they are fed and happy. I think i'm pretty good at entertaining and caring for many ages!

I am CPR and First Aid certified, Food Handler certified, and bilingual in English and Spanish. Safety is always my top priority, and I am very attentive to routines, hygiene, and family preferences. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate play, reading, and quiet activities, especially during evening and bedtime routines. Parents describe me as dependable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I value trust and consistency and take pride in providing quality care.
