Justin V.
- 7 years paid experience
- 9 miles
Hi! My name is Justin and I’m an experienced caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education and professional management. I’m currently looking for part-time childcare opportunities, but I’m also open to discussing full-time positions if it’s the right fit! I’ve worked as both a lead classroom teacher and assistant teacher, caring for children as young as 6 weeks old up to 12 years. My experience includes everything from lesson planning and developmental tracking to potty training, safety protocols, and engaging children in meaningful play. I’ve always prioritized creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. In addition to my childcare experience, I’ve held leadership roles in management — most recently as a General Manager — which has made me highly dependable, organized, and excellent at multitasking. These roles have strengthened my communication skills and given me the ability to stay calm under pressure — all of which I bring into my work with families and children. Parents I’ve worked with appreciate my warm personality, professionalism, and genuine love for kids. I believe in open communication, positive discipline, and building a trusting relationship with both children and parents. I’d love to chat more to see how I can support your family’s needs!

Hi, my name’s Ayana Amoja. I’m 23 and a current college junior. Throughout high school, I babysat elementary-age children. Furthermore, I worked at a private school working with kids ages 5-14 as well as a part-time nanny to 3 and 5-year-olds, ages 5-12 in a public school setting and with ages 2-5 at two different preschools. I have also been a nanny for an 18 month-year-old and a 1-year-old. I love working with kids. They have made such an impact on my life and I just hope I’ve done the same for them. My number one thing is safety and I will always prioritize the child’s needs.

Hi families! My name is Shahara. A little bit about me: I absolutely love working with kids! I am a firm believer that our youth are not only the future; they are the present. Kids are a fascinating group of little people with so much knowledge and skill sets that make them just as a capable as us to change the world today--they just need adults who believe in them and their interests…& that is where I come in :) I am former middle school science teacher. I taught 6th and 7th grade science for 6 year, and am certified in Elementary Education (K-6). I can certainly provide tutoring in multiple subject areas if needed. My babysitting experience entails sitting for over 10 families, with children ages ranging from 7 months - 11 years old. Children under my care say that I am loving, patient, organized, and fun! I can handle preparing meals for children of all ages, bed time routines and helping with chores around the house (i.e., dishes, laundry, light cleaning). I am open to some household duties, like housesitting, tidying, running small errands, and tutoring/support with school work. Thank you for considering me for the opportunity to serve your family--I look forward to meeting you all!

Dhespina H.
- 4 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hello! My name is Dhespina, and I babysit three children (ages 6, 11, and 14) every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. I started babysitting the kids in January 2025. My responsibilities include waking the children up for school, helping the youngest get dressed and brush his teeth, making sure they’ve had breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting all three to school on time. In the afternoons, I pick them up from school, take them to appointments when needed, and occasionally stay after school to babysit. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy being around children. It doesn’t feel like work to me, but something that comes naturally because of how much I enjoy it. ***CERTIFIED IN ADULT, CHILD AND INFANT, PEDIATRIC CPR/AED & FIRST AID***
