Hi - My name is Ian and I'm currently a senior at FACS. I am offering yard services. I have three (3) years of experience in cutting yards, racking leaves, etc. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, working part-time at Chick-fil-A, and delivering groceries for Spark.
Hi! My name is Lara, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with over 8 years of experience working with children. As a mom of a 14-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, I truly understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I have a background in education with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, and I’ve spent the past several years working in an elementary school in Germantown, TN, supporting students as a substitute teacher and attendance secretary. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding children’s needs both academically and emotionally. I love engaging kids in fun and creative activities like painting, crafts, and storytelling, and I’m always happy to help with homework and learning when needed. I’m CPR certified, highly organized, and fluent in both English and Arabic. I treat every child with kindness, patience, and respect, and I always aim to build a strong, trusting connection with both children and their families. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive part of your child’s day!
I am interested in babysitting for my grandchildren, should there be any born. I hope to provide this service for my grandchildren in order that they may have a safe environment in which to learn and thrive.
Hi, my name is Daniela, a current student at the University of Memphis. I offer household cleaning services along with babysitting or pet care needed! I have worked in household cleaning since I was 15 along with my mom, who owns her own cleaning company. We offer services from regular cleans to deep cleans. Apart from cleaning, I have had some babysitting and pet care jobs. Within them I have cleaned, cooked, ran errands. For child care I have done tutoring and crafts, and love getting to know the kids! For pet care, I do all essentials and love spending time and playing games!
“I loved Daniela! She was very sweet. She had my house looking spotless. I will definitely be rebooking in the future”
Hi! My name is Shylin, I am a new college student who loves children! I’m a dependable and caring babysitter who loves creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. With 2-3 years of babysitting experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and keeping children engaged through games, crafts, outdoor play, and other activities they enjoy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, can help with meal prep and light housekeeping, and always keep parents updated. I can’t wait to meet your family! 🌼

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
