🦋 Howdy, y’all! My name is Liz and I’m a Senior at UT Austin studying Art History. Here’s a bit about me. I grew up babysitting and working as a summer camp counselor. In 2023, I began teaching art classes to elementary school children through Young Rembrandts. Last summer, I took on a new role as a preschool teacher. Since then, I’ve continued my teaching with the addition of babysitting on the side. Both jobs have been a total joy. I’m an engaged caretaker who can play for hours, but I always make sure to sneak in some educational content. It’s really important for me to get kids moving and learning. I love to sing, dance, play make believe, read, watch movies, cook, clean, and learn about the world around us. I make sure to keep an open line of communication with parents, as they know what’s best for their child’s health and well-being more than anyone else. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified for a while, and I recently became certified in SIDS prevention and SBS prevention. I also have a Food Handler’s License! Safety is of utmost importance to me. Trusting your child’s safety with another person is something that I do not take lightly. If you’re looking for a reliable babysitter in the Austin area, I’m your gal! Please contact me with any questions you may have. 🦋

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!

Hey there, families! My name is Lyra, and I hail from the land of breakfast tacos and live music, Austin, Texas. I am currently a Neuroscience and Psychology student at the UT Austin, which means I know exactly how to get inside your kids' heads! Just kidding...or am I? When it comes to children, I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and love. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants to teenagers, and even those with special needs. I've coached, tutored, mentored, and played with them all! My passion is engaging kids in imaginative and creative play, especially activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. I've got a background in theatre and acting, which means I can lead the kids in a game of "let's pretend," or even act out some of their favorite stories. And let's not forget my love for reading - I'm happy to help your little ones get lost in a good book, or even write their own stories! Now, let's get down to business. Safety is my top priority, and that's why I am Health Care Provider CPR & First Aid Certified. So, if the kiddos scrape their knees or bump their heads, I'll be ready to handle it with ease. Overall, I am thrilled to bring my skills, experience, and personality to your family. Let's work together to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children. I look forward to meeting you!
