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.

Arial $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arial and I currently work from home part time which gives me plenty of availability to provide reliable and attentive childcare. I went to college for engineering and grew up playing the violin, soccer and cheer so I can help out and apply skills in different ways! I have hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I have helped watch and raise my best friend’s two children since they were born; they are now 4 and 5 years old. Throughout college, I also cared for a 9-year-old, including picking her up from school, taking her to the park, preparing meals, and helping keep the home tidy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’m comfortable helping with daily routines and light household tasks related to child care. I am comfortable working with families who have dogs (I have a small very kind and friendly dog myself).
