Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Morgan offering childcare with pet and household services if needed during that time as well. I am super fun and energetic and strive to be the babysitter your kiddo asks to come back again and again! I have enjoyed working with children for the past 7 years - including several babysitting and nannying jobs with children newborn - 12 years old, working as a camp counselor for 4-12 year olds and as a behavioral therapist for children 2-10 years old and I am CPR and safety care certified. I really like all animals and I am happy to help with anything that is needed around the house whether that is cleaning, helping with a meal time (kiddo or animal!), helping with homework, or simply any random task that might need to be done while I am there and could have the time to do!

Sabrina $13 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sabrina and I am a 27 year old woman with a very easy going and kind disposition. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I enjoy taking care of children and pets! I grew up with 5x younger siblings and a dog, and am very familiar with taking care of all age children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and many of the families I babysat for found me very accomplished at caring for their kids, pets, and home! I am very active and love to make activities to do for the kids based on their hobbies. I am very kind, a great listener, and enjoy outdoor and indoor activities. I am happy to follow any guidelines the parents set out. For example, if you do not want your kids to watch TV or have a strict routine for bedtime, I am more than amenable to making it as easy for you as possible. I am not apposed to light house cleaning and always ensure I clean up any messes we make. Patience is key in my world so I always act with that, kindness, and a smile. Many families have trusted me with their kids in the past and we were well received. I can take care of one child or multiple and am comfortable with all age groups. I grew up with lots of kids in my house and noise and commotion do not startle me. I was also an athlete for a large portion of my life and am great with all sports! I have no allergies and comfortable with any pets!
