Dennise 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey y’all Parents of little People! I’m Dennise!  I’m an a country gal (Palmdale, CA) whose also an accountant, public relations communicator, Council carrier.  A mother (3 - grown-ups), grandmother of 3, avid reader, story teller, writer, gardener, lover of nature and animals, and yes little people (children).  I’ve worked concession as a parent volunteer in Girl Scouts, at the Ventura Fairgrounds for a dinosaur exhibition, an interactive promotional tour at Six Flags to rollout GoTarts. Manning children’s events at trade shows, and company picnics throughout Georgia, California and Washington.  Great at multi tasking, story time, outdoor activities and helping little people to see their world and themselves in imaginative and creative way. I used to be a helicopter parent, that 3rd one at 35 slowed my roll!! Now I just love to see the babes that belong to someone else!

“I would recommend Denise Gant. she do have experience. She's very professional and reliability and what she do I would recommend her to anyone who asks me”

Alyssa-Marie $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone, I'm Alyssa and currently a student studying at UW. I mostly will be available T/Thursday mornings and M/W/F afternoons to evenings due to my school schedule. I do work another part time job at a hospital so my weekends have to be scheduled a month in advance, though sometimes I will have openings! I work best with shy and artistic kids as I used to be one myself. I am great at keeping an eye on kids, but not great with super high energy kids. I don't drive so I will typically show up 30 minutes in advance, and can't really transport the kids anywhere unless you're wanting me to Uber them. I'm great at winding down kids and getting them to bed, and would be willing to clean up your place afterwards if it's an overnight shift and you mention it. Will always make sure the messes the kids make get cleaned up! I have CPR and First Aid Training for adults. Thanks everyone! 😊

Betty $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Betty, and I provide child care, senior care, pet care, and household support services. I am a certified Home Care Aide (HCA) who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a calm, supportive environment in every home I work in. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Over time, I have developed patience, strong communication, and the ability to adapt to each child’s needs and personality. I enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities, helping with homework, and building routines that make them feel safe and comfortable. I have also volunteered in tutoring since high school, which has strengthened my ability to support children academically while keeping learning enjoyable. In addition to child care, I have experience in senior care through both training and personal caregiving. I have cared for my own grandparents, which taught me the importance of patience, respect, and companionship. I am comfortable assisting with daily tasks, cooking, transportation, and providing a supportive and respectful presence. I also have experience with pet care, including caring for both my own pets and pets belonging to clients. Since the age of 16, I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs, and I am comfortable supporting senior pets as well. I can assist with feeding, walking, companionship, and maintaining a safe and attentive environment for animals. In addition, I offer household support such as cleaning, organizing, running errands, and meal preparation. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in creating clean, organized, and peaceful spaces. I would describe myself as caring, reliable, and easy to work with. I bring both professionalism and genuine warmth into everything I do, and my goal is always to make families feel supported, comfortable, and confident in my care.
