Hello! My name is Blanca, and I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider. I have over 10 years of experience as an early childhood teacher working with children from birth to age 5, along with 3 years of experience as an education coach supporting children, teachers, and families. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychopedagogy ( evaluated by Spantran ) which gives me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional needs. I am patient, nurturing, and calm, and I focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and secure. 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. I am available for evening care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends, including date nights. I look forward to supporting your family and caring for your little ones.
Greetings! My name is Savannah and I’m currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas. I’m available for babysitting, pet, and household services. I completed a three year child-care course and am CPR certified. I started babysitting 7 years ago, and have dealt with children of all ages. Normally, I opt for playing games with children which encourage the use of creativity and imagination. Simultaneously, I have experience in tutoring, so I can help with homework if required. I am an emphatic dog lover, and have volunteered at the SPCA regularly for nearly two years. I’ve handled many creatures, big and small, over this time, therefore I am confident in my abilities to care for any dog. If you feel you need a hand in a cluttered house, I would be happy to lend you one. At times life can get messy, and our living spaces can as well. I am here to help make your life a little easier, and not to judge, so I assure you that there is no need to feel ashamed of whatever condition your house is in. If you are lacking certain cleaning supplies then I will bring them myself. If you feel that I may be fit to fulfill any of your needs, or have any additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day :)
Hi! I’m Zaria, a caring and reliable sitter who loves creating a safe, positive space where kids feel comfortable and have fun. I’ve been babysitting younger family members since I was 15, which has helped me develop strong patience, attentiveness, and the ability to connect with children of all ages. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through creative activities like games, reading, and interactive learning while maintaining routines and a calm environment. Known for being responsible and easy to communicate with, my goal is to make your life easier while ensuring your child has a warm, enjoyable experience every time.
Hi! I'm Juanita, a dependable, compassionate, and organized caregiver with over 28 years of professional experience in customer service, education, administration, and childcare. Although I work full-time in accounting, caring for children and supporting families has always been a passion of mine. I began babysitting early in adulthood and have experience in daycare centers, charter schools, private childcare, and as a teacher aide, caring for children from infancy through high school. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I can assist with homework, meal preparation, age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, transportation, and light childcare-related housekeeping. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am seeking part-time evening and weekend opportunities as a babysitter, nanny, or family assistant. My goal is to become a trusted, reliable extension of your family, providing dependable care and giving parents peace of mind.
Hi, my name is Ariel and I’m currently a substitute teacher for K-12 graders. I am offering childcare and household service. I love being a babysitter! I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, including twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have been to feed, cloth, tutor and help with sports. I enjoy completing household chores on my spare time. I like to be very organized. I prefer not to cook, but I can drive to and from doctor appointments, school or etc. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs that aren’t aggressive.
