Amanda $20 per hour for 1 child

I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents! I began baby sitting outside the house as a teenager and continued to work as a Nanny or Au pair through my twenties. In my 30's I began co parenting with my siblings and watching everyone's kids. I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.

Megan $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Megan. As a caregiver I am fun, attentive, and patient. I treat children with kindness and the utmost respect. I love the outdoors, music, and literature. I am energetic and enjoy playing games and going on outdoor treks and adventures. I love to play guitar, piano, and sing. I know a lot of kids songs, including a few originals. I have a great deal of experience of caring for children, ages 6 months - 11 years old. I have earned 30+ units of early childhood education credits and am CPR and First aid certified. I get an extreme sense of joy spending time with children and seeing them grow into their own unique person. Positive reinforcement and providing opportunities to succeed are, I believe, the key to witness a child thrive. If you give me your email address I can send you my resume. Thank you for your time I look forward to connecting with you.

Alexey $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexey and I am a 25 year old artist living in New Orleans. Caring for children has always been an interest of mine. I taught swim lessons to children back in my home town and I have also volunteered once a year at orphanages in underprivileged countries for the past 5 years. Pets also have a special place in my heart because I come from a family of farmers and grew up on a ranch. I have 2 kitties of my own now! In my grandparents final years I took them to appointments, took care of their home, and loved spending time with them and hearing their stories. I have a lot of free time so if you are in need of a care giver of any kind, at any time- I’m your girl! :)

Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New Orleans, LA

Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a senior at Tulane University, where I am studying psychology (specifically child psychology) as well as political science. I have lived in Boston my whole life, but my mom is from NOLA so I have spent a lot of time here growing up, and I loved it so much I had to come to school here! I have been officially working with kids since the summer of 2022 where I worked as a counselor at a sleep away camp for seven weeks. I have worked at that camp every summer since, and have acquired many different skills that allow me to work well with children. I have also been babysitting for neighbors and family friends since I was around 13. Since then, I have gotten my lifeguard certification which makes me CPR, AED, and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I am extremely patient, especially when it comes to kids with special needs or preferences. On top of this, I have been raised with pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and am very happy to take care of them too! I have my drivers license and a car with me at school, so I would be able to do pick ups and drop offs if needed.

Hi, I’m an online college student and a dependable, caring babysitter with experience caring for kids of all ages. I’ve also interned at a summer camp.

Families can count on me to be responsible, patient, and fun I truly care for every child.
