Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Liz. I am a mother of 2 adult children and currently a grandmother to my 2 year old grand daughter. I am comfortable with newborns through teens, and elder care. I love dogs but am allergic to cats. I'm available for babysitting, errand running, cooking, cleaning, house sitting, pet sitting, or just to keep someone company or do a wellness check. I have a safe car. I love dancing and singing and playing educational games, cards, riding bikes, going to the park, and having fun in general. I am very well versed in assisting elderly clients with mobility, including wheelchair bound clients. I can help organize closets, cleaning, and general housework. I generally don't work weekends but can make exceptions. I am happy, healthy, and very personable. I ran my own business for 30 years but it got wiped out due to covid, so I am trying to work doing something I love, which is taking care of people/pets.

Tatiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Tati, and I've been a stay-at-home mom and homeschool teacher for the past 12 years -- and I've been caring for kids for most of my life. My son started school last year, so I've started doing part-time work babysitting for infants. I was just re-certified in First Aid, CPR, and the Basic Babysitting and Advanced Childcare Training Courses through the American Red Cross. I'm most comfortable caring for infants and toddlers and would prefer to stay within that age group. I don't believe in exposing kids to screens and too much technology too early in life, and instead like to spend time bonding with them. Some things I like to do while babysitting are taking walks, reading, listening to music, singing, dancing, tummy-time, and playing with toys. :)
