Hi family! My name is Ángela, I am 25 years old and originally from Colombia. I have childcare experience from my home country, caring for children of different ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and reliable, and I always prioritize the children’s well-being and daily routines. I also love dogs and feel comfortable being around pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family.
“Angela helped us out last minute to babysit our daughter who was home sick from school. She arrived a few minutes early and immediately engaged our daughter. You can tell she is both an experienced babysitter and a lovely person. Our daughter reported that she was “so, so nice.” We look forward to having her over again! ”

Joseph $17 per hour for 1 child
I am a responsible, diligent and efficient semi-retired senior citizen looking for people oriented part time employment. I am good with children as I raised one to be a responsible & self reliant adult. I helped care for a 90+ year old parent until his passing. I have had dogs/cats all my life and am an ASPCA senior provider. I am a stickler for neatness around the house & cooking is my hobby. I hope to hear from you soon.
