Why Do I Love Being a Sitter? I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. As a mother of one daughter who is now out of state attending dental school, I’ve always found caring for children incredibly fulfilling. Having just one child has made me treasure the opportunity to nurture and connect with kids, which is why babysitting feels so rewarding to me. Building trust with both children and parents is something I deeply value. What Experience Do I Have? I have extensive experience caring for children and also have a background in caring for the elderly, which has taught me patience, empathy, and responsibility. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I’m confident in managing their daily routines, ensuring their safety, and making their day enjoyable. What Skills and Training Do I Have? I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy incorporating it into caregiving, whether it’s helping bilingual families or teaching children basic words. While I’m still improving my English, I can communicate well and ensure clear understanding with both children and parents. I’m currently working on reactivating my CPR certification to ensure I’m always prepared. My skills include safely driving kids to and from school or activities, engaging in creative play, and assisting with light housework to help keep things running smoothly at home. I’m excited to bring dedication, care, and enthusiasm to your family!

Hi my name is Davi, I grew up in rural Texas, but now find myself living in Austin. I’m the oldest of 3 so as I grew up, I helped my mom manage our household. I’ve been babysitting and taking care of children for almost as long. Starting the summer of my 6th grade year (2006) I stayed with 2 boys ages 8&6. Since then, I’ve babysat/nannied for many families with multiple children (and animals). The last family I nannied for had a newborn who I had most of the day and then I had her 3 brothers when they were out of school. I believe kids should not sit in front of screens all day, so I try to get them to use their imaginations as much as possible. I’m very hands on and am down for anything from play dough to baking (age appropriate of course). My mom taught Pre-K for 20+ years so I’m aware of things that kids need to do in development such as crawling before they walk, touching their toes with their opposite hand, and that they need to be able to do things at their pace, even if they make a mess, so they can learn.

Hello, I understand that finding a reliable babysitter can be a challenging task, and it's essential to choose someone who can take care of your child with love and compassion. I have been a babysitter for over two decades, and I have cared for children of all ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds. I have a deep understanding of how to organize children's activities, feed them, bathe them, and put them to bed, along with changing diapers and performing other necessary duties. In addition to babysitting, I have worked as an assistant and substitute full-time Pre-K teacher and a part-time religious education teacher. I have a clean criminal and driving record, and I am certified in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. I can also teach primary sign language, and I have received excellent feedback from both parents and children for my caring and compassionate nature. I understand that taking care of children is not just about feeding them and keeping them safe; it's also about providing them with a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. That's why I organize fun educational games, crafts, and outside activities for the children in my care. I can also run errands, grocery shopping, meal prep, and light household duties such as organizing closets, toy rooms, and basic accounting. I believe that children deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and understanding, and I always strive to provide them with the care and attention they need. I have an Associates Degree in Business and Drama, and I am a certified professional in Education, Childhood Development, and Learning Differences. I enjoy walking, outside activities, music, and arts & crafts, and I am confident that I can provide your child with the care and attention they require. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter. I am available to interview and to answer any further questions you may have. I can provide additional references upon request. Warm Regards - Debbie

ABOUT ME I am 37 year old female and a graduate of St. Edward’s University. I moved back from NY 5 years ago. I am currently running my own mobile spray tanning and work in fitness in the afternoons/weekend mornings. I am looking for a new family to babysit for in the mornings a few days a week or babysit on call for date nights (Wednesday or Sunday evenings)! Please send me a message if this sounds like a good fit! I enjoy spending time outdoors, swimming, dancing, and playing the piano. In the past few years I have babysat for a family in West Austin. I have come to love this family and even spend time with the mother when we both have free time! Most of the experiences listed below are long term nanny jobs I have had. I have sat for about 3 different families while in college. EXPERIENCE 2008-2012 The Disorbo Family I met the Disorbo family when I moved to Austin for school. I have been sitting for them ever since. They have four kids. A 12 year old girl, an 8 year old boy, 10 year old boy, and 4 year old boy. They also have a dog I look after. The kids are wonderful! I play different games with the kids, encourage them to go on walks or we walk to different trails. I get them fed and to bed. I also help them with homework if there is a need. This has been one of my greatest babysitting experiences. The kids and parents are so sweet. My parents have even become friends with the Dirobo’s over the years. June ’03-August ‘06 Judge Ditta’s Family For the Ditta family, I babysat 3 girls on a very regular basis, before I left Houston for college. The children were 2, 4, and 6 years old whenever I first babysat them. I helped the kids understand their homework, took them to dance practice, prepared their meals, cleaned up around the house, and put them to bed. I had a blast playing games, house, dancing around, swimming, and doing arts and crafts with the girls. I usually babysat them on weekends until one or two in the morning. I don’t mind staying up late! May ‘02- August ‘06 Fernandez Family When I started babysitting for the Fernandez family their daughter was seven. Allergic to cats. Fine with dogs.
