Jessica $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a mother to a beautiful 7 month old baby girl. I have 2 dogs and a turtle and love to garden, cook, and read. I have over 25 years experience caring for children of all ages, children with disabilities, animals and the elderly. Most recently I have cared for a 4 year old boy with OI (brittle bone disease) and have provided hospice care for both of my recently passed grandparents. I am trustworthy, caring, empathetic, fun and responsible!
Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! I’m a compassionate and dependable sitter with daycare experience and a lifelong love for working with kids. I grew up helping care for my younger cousins, which taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of building strong relationships with children. As a graduate student close to finishing my Marriage and Family Therapy degree, I’m looking for small jobs to balance with my studies. I have experience working with children and teens and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being a supportive presence, I’m here to make sure your kids are cared for and happy. I look forward to partnering with your family!
Vallere $28 per hour for 1 child
I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.
