Tsoi $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi this is Michelle. I am originally from Hong Kong but have been living in the states for 7 years now. I graduated from BYU in 2025 and am currently working as a family advocate for Head Start. In my role, I'm regularly in classrooms assisting teachers, engaging with children, helping manage routines and transitions, and supporting kids with a variety of needs. Working closely with young children is a big part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy it. I'm a dependable and caring caregiver with experience working with both children and pets. I have experience supporting children through volunteer and internship roles, including working with preschool-aged children in an autism preschool, and with youth and families at the Children Justice Center. I'm patient, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and valued. I can help with playtime, homework, routines, meals, transportation, and household tasks. I also have pet-sitting experience through TrustedHousesitters, where I've earned 4 five-star reviews caring for cats in their homes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Families often describe me as responsible, communicative, organized, and easy to trust. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, my goal is to help everyone feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Mariah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m finishing up my last year of high school, with a part time job on the side. I’m 18 years old, and have been licensed for 2 years. I’m happily looking for more experience working with kids. My range age-wise in children is currently 3-8 years old, but I am also willing to watch older than that. Right now I occasionally babysit another family with 3 children, so I have skills with dealing than more than one child. I’m happy to engage and have fun with the children I currently sit! I’d love to put my full attention in participating in activities, from doing schoolwork, going out, teaching them new skills, to playing any game they come up with. I can adapt to different personalities and rules as well. If there’s any other requests you’d like met, I’ll make sure it gets completed!

Tabitha $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Tabitha ! I am a student at Utah State University studying biology. I am offering childcare, pet care, and house care! I love spending time with kids! I have been babysitting for 5 years now, I have a lot of experience with infants- 9 year olds. During those 5 years I have done tons of crafts, dance parties, fun days at the park, field trips, and helped with homework. I can cook and bake mostly anything and I am very good working with food allergies and restrictions. I am also comfortable with bottles and formula. I have also watched countless pets including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles. I can do short-term house sitting during the summer and also weekends year round. I spent most of my summer watching my nephews to get experience and I have been a sitter for a few families for 4 years straight. When I finish school I hope to be a pediatrician and getting to spend any time with kids and animals is always the highlight of my week!
