Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am a 30 year old Special Education teacher. I am looking for a family who needs an occasional sitter on evenings, weekends or in the summer (date night, last minute, etc). I have worked with children of all ages, abilities & have cared for 3+ children at a time. I genuinely love kids- helping them, teaching them, building healthy relationships, going on adventures & being out in nature. In my free time, I spend time with family, friends & my dogs. I am very comfortable working with families who have pets as well! I am flexible, dependable & trustworthy.

Leilani $20 per hour for 1 child

Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development. I'm looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities where I can provide nurturing, reliable care while creating a safe space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable medical student who has grown up helping care for younger siblings and family members. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m comfortable with children from toddlers through teens and can help with playtime, homework, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and take following parents’ instructions and routines seriously.

Tobia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Tobia and I'm currently caregiving part-time for my great aunt. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I'm the youngest of four girls and I have a combined count of 35 nieces and nephews including great and great greats lol. So I definitely have a lot of experience babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and extra curricular activities. Being a caregiver allows me to thrive in my personality. I have a huge heart, I'm kind, caring, compassionate, reliable, trust worthy, patient, and attentive. I'm also tidy, organized, detailed oriented and possess time management. I cook, clean, run errands, and assist in other areas as needed. I was the primary caretaker for my mom who battled dementia, for over 10 years, so I am very comfortable with senior care. I offer medication reminders, meal prep, bathing and assistance with personal needs, drive to appointments, and perform other tasks as needed. I have 3 dogs of my own, who are my world. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.
