Cassandra $24 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.
Anna $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience in both childcare and pet sitting. I love creating a fun, safe environment for kids through creative play and activities, and I am equally passionate about keeping furry friends happy and well-exercised. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or going for long walks with your dog, I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to every family's unique needs. I look forward to meeting your family!

Growing up with multiple yellow labs and now having a labrador mix of my own has made me a dog lover for life. I love walks, play time in the yard, or just lounging around with a friend! Experienced in administering medications and caring for dogs of all ages.
