Lauren $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a dependable and engaging caregiver with extensive hands-on experience caring for young children. I’m a mom of two children, so I’m familiar with daily routines, transitions, and the needs of infants, preschool and early elementary-aged kids. I also have experience providing care for teens and tweens. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through art projects, books, imaginative play, building activities, and outdoor time, while also maintaining a calm and fun environment. I have prior babysitting experience and bring a patient and attentive approach to caregiving. I’m comfortable managing meals, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I’m also pet-friendly with many years of experience caring for cats. I’m currently seeking occasional and part-time babysitting opportunities and am happy to support families who need a reliable, caring sitter.

Jesus $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jesus and I am a caring, responsible, and dedicated woman with over six years of experience working with young children in a preschool setting, as well as four years of experience providing care for an elderly woman. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 18 months to 4 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, potty training support, preparing and guiding age-appropriate activities, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. As a mother of two children, ages 17 and 19, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are receiving patient, respectful, and attentive care. I truly enjoy spending time with children and supporting their development while encouraging their independence, creativity, and confidence. I am CPR certified, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and nurturing care for every child I work with. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family and support your child’s growth and happiness.

Esmeralda $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Esmeralda, a credentialed Special Education Teacher with a Master’s degree in Special Education and a background in Psychology. I have several years of experience working with young children, including children with autism and other developmental and learning needs. I currently teach 1st grade and love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can be themselves. I’m experienced with a wide range of communication and behavioral needs, including children who use AAC or are minimally verbal. I’m also comfortable supporting routines, transitions, toileting, mealtimes, play, and age appropriate learning activities. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and energetic. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor activities, sensory play, and educational activities tailored to their interests. As an educator, I’m also happy to help with homework, early literacy, math, and other academic skills when needed. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident about who is caring for their child, so I prioritize safety, communication, and following each family’s routines and preferences. I’m especially passionate about working with children with special needs, but I enjoy caring for children of all abilities. I’m primarily looking for occasional babysitting opportunities that fit around my teaching schedule, such as evenings, weekends, date nights, and school breaks. I look forward to meeting your family and providing your little ones with attentive, compassionate, and fun care!
