A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I’m looking for a new babysitting/mother’s helper position starting in early April, as the family I currently work with is moving.

I currently help care for two 2.5-year-olds and two newborns during the week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday), and I’ve built a consistent routine with them.

My experience includes:
- 3 newborns
- 3 toddlers
- 2 children ages 4–9

In addition to childcare, I can also help with meal prep, light house cleaning, organizing, and assisting with baths.

I’m responsible, reliable, and consistent, and I’m comfortable around dogs (I am allergic to cats). I’m currently in 8th grade and available multiple days per week.

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for help!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a proud mom of three with a lifelong passion for caring for children. I began babysitting at the age of 16 and quickly discovered how much I enjoy supporting families and helping little ones grow and thrive.

I studied Business Administration in college, and I currently work with unaccompanied minors who have crossed the U.S. border—an experience that has deepened my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs.

As both a mother and a caregiver, I bring patience, empathy, and a nurturing approach to every child I care for. Whether it’s engaging in play, helping with homework, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I treat each child as if they were my own.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Brianna and I’ve been a toddler teacher for about 6 years now ☺️ I enjoy working with children because it provides an opportunity to make a real difference in the future of our world and aiding children with a bright future is always a heartwarming experience . I do enjoy working with animals of all sorts as well so if your family has a pet I am all for it ! I am familiar with working with children who have strong behaviors and very sensitive skin/ allergies so I feel well trained to aid in high stress situations that may happen that involves an allergic reaction/ tantrums etc. I have nannied in the past so I’m familiar with the expectations that comes with the position. I’m hoping I’m a great fit!
