A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Evelyn, and I’m a 16-year-old sophomore in high school. I have hands-on experience caring for young children, especially my three nephews who are all under the age of five. I’ve been helping take care of them since they were newborns, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and diaper changes to keeping them engaged and safe. I also have a teenage nephew, so I have experience working with kids across a wide range of ages and understand how to adjust my approach depending on their needs. I’m very patient, responsible, and enjoy working with kids of all personalities and needs. One of my nephews is on the autism spectrum, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of how to support children with different needs in a calm and caring way. I’m currently in a hybrid school program, so I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I also have basic knowledge of CPR and safety procedures, and I’m always open to learning more.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emani J and I’m currently a college student entering my sophomore year. I’ve always loved being around kids and helping care for them.
I grew up in a daycare setting, so I’ve been surrounded by children of different ages my whole life and feel very comfortable in that environment. I also have hands-on experience helping care for my younger sister—we are 9 years apart, and I took on a big role in her care, especially during quarantine. I helped with daily responsibilities like preparing meals, bathing her, keeping her entertained, and taking her to sports, activities, etc.
These experiences have made me patient, responsible, and attentive. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys working with kids and making sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged.
I’m excited to gain more experience while providing reliable and caring support to families. I’m dependable, communicative, and always willing to learn.

Hi! I’m Aurora, and I’m an experienced, dependable babysitter/nanny. I’ve been working with kids since I was 12, including children with special needs, so I’m really comfortable adjusting to different personalities, routines, and energy levels.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always make safety a top priority. I also genuinely love making sure kids feel happy, engaged, and understood. I believe all behavior is communication and strive to ensure all children's needs are met.

I have my driver’s license, am reliable with scheduling, and I’m happy to help with babysitting, nannying, or tutoring. My rate is $20–$23/hour depending on the number of children and responsibilities.
Feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family :)
