Hey parents! I’m Brooke, longtime nanny and babysitter. I’ve been watching kids for over 10 years in a babysitting setting, but have been caring for kids at my church for longer.

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I am 22 years old. I have done paid babysitting since I was 15, as I absolutely adore children and babies. I was a nanny for a family of a 6 month year old and 3 year old for a year, and loved every second of it but had to leave for college. I babysat for a 9 month year old summer 2023. This past summer, 2024, I nannied for a 6 month year old. I have built a strong rapport with multiple families. I have experience with twins and ages 3 months-12 year old. I am graduating this December with a bachelor’s in Psychology, honors Summa Cum Laude. I completed my thesis on harnessing child anger through a picture book intervention to promote persistence. I have been in a child emotion regulation lab for 2 years, and hope to pursue a PhD in child clinical psychology. I will continue research while I strengthen my resume in Fayetteville, AR. I am fully vaccinated. I also am CPR/first aid certified for infants and adults by the American Red Cross (you may request my certificate). Moreover, I was a lifeguard for the three summers where I would prioritize the safety of my patrons. I love to have fun with the kids with play time, but can also ensure the safety of your child. I have a car and my license, and have never had legal issues or tickets. I take nurture very seriously as I believe this affects the development of a child, and will always prioritize your child's emotional well being and safety. Thank you so much for trusting me, and please ask me any questions you have. Have a great day!

I am currently a freshman in college studying animal science on a pre vet track. When I was back home I worked at a day care for about a year working with all ages. I loved being able to have fun with the kid but also help them learn. I’m all about having fun and learning in fun ways too. I enjoy being around kids and pets. I ask did a lot of babysitting jobs on the side when I wasn’t working so I fill like I have a bunch of experience!!

I love being a sitter because working with children has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel cared for in a safe and fun environment. Every child has their own personality and needs, and I love being part of their daily lives — whether that’s helping with schoolwork, playing, or simply being someone they can trust. I have over 6 years of childcare experience with children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve helped families with school pick-ups, homework supervision, afternoon activities, and light household tasks. I’ve worked with multiple families and have strong references who can speak to my reliability and care. I am CPR certified and trained in basic first aid, so safety is always a top priority. I’m also highly organized, responsible, and great at multitasking — whether that’s keeping kids engaged, managing schedules, or helping around the house. In addition, I’m a student at the University of Arkansas majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and I plan to become a speech-language pathologist. This background gives me a strong foundation in child development and communication skills, which helps me connect with kids at different ages and stages.

Hello! My name is Natalie and I am a student at the University of Arkansas! I am completing my education to work in the medical field in pediatrics. I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and imagination into each day. I enjoy helping them learn, play, and explore the world around them. Most of all, I love knowing that I can be someone they feel safe and comfortable with, as well as someone they can trust and learn from. I have 5 years of paid experience working in schools, daycares, and camps with kids ages 5 to 13, as well as additional babysitting experience with infants and toddlers. I have worked with kids and adolescents with special needs, and I was a part of a special education peer-mentoring class in high school.

Hello, my name is Alexa Rhoades! Throughout my years tutoring at school and working in training positions in the food industry, I've found a passion for guiding someone through the process of learning. I first found this passion when I was in school myself. Academics have always come easily to me, and I found great joy in helping my friends understand an assignment when even the teacher couldn't find a way to explain it to them. I've recently realized that nothing would make me happier than to be able to help a child discover a passion for learning in a way that suits their individual needs. I believe that there is always more than one way to approach learning, and that the child should lead the way. I believe in asking questions to engage the student, and I believe my job as the tutor is not to give them the answer but to give them the tools to find it for themselves. That being said, I also have many years of babysitting experience. I think the best way to approach babysitting is to adapt to the needs of the child, and to listen carefully to what the parents are saying. I'm comfortable with making snacks and dinner, I'm always down to play games, and I like to get children outside to play as much as the weather allows. I really look forward to being able to chase this dream of helping children find a passion for learning!
