BERNICE 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”

Joselyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a pediatric nurse with 2 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused in any situation, and I genuinely love working with kids both in and outside of the hospital setting! I bring a fun, patient, and nurturing energy to babysitting while also having strong clinical knowledge—so you can feel confident your child is in capable hands. I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and caring for children with varying needs. Whether you’re looking for occasional help or a consistent sitter, I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your child every time. I’d love to support your family!
