Joselyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a pediatric nurse with 2 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused in any situation, and I genuinely love working with kids both in and outside of the hospital setting! I bring a fun, patient, and nurturing energy to babysitting while also having strong clinical knowledge—so you can feel confident your child is in capable hands. I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and caring for children with varying needs. Whether you’re looking for occasional help or a consistent sitter, I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your child every time. I’d love to support your family!

Tae $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm an experienced and caring childcare provider with over 3 years of babysitting experience working with multiple families. I also have experience working as a toddler teacher and teaching children in Taiwan, which has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and classroom management skills. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, explore, and grow. I love keeping children engaged through creative activities, games, reading, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I'm dependable, responsible, patient, and attentive to each child's individual needs. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in someone's care, and I always strive to build that trust with both parents and children. I look forward to meeting your family and providing quality, attentive care!
