Hello, my name is Shayla Selon. I am a 22-year-old college student attending the university of Georgia studying to become a speech-language pathologist, or an audiologist. In both children and adults I am CPR, first aid, and AED certified with Red Cross. I am a fun, playful, lovable young adult, who loves interacting with kids and has been told she has a great connection of children. My experience comes from shadowing and helping my grandma babysit my sister and cousins over the summer since I was 12 to 18. During my sophomore and junior of high school, I was in an early education class where there was a daycare with 2 to 4 years old I would interact with them three days a week. We would do different activities with them For example, we would go on the go outside on the playground, make art projects, helped them with their ABCs and counting. Since joining the site, parents have trusted me to watch their Two and four year old siblings. Occasionally, I also watch sisters that are five and 10 years old. Most recently I’ve been trusted take care of a six month old for the day and the allowed me to bring her to my apartment since the grandmother was at work, and the mother was traveling. I love the way their minds work. They are so smart and so intelligent at such a young age is very interesting. I will care and look after your children as if they are my own. I will actively report if anything happens and would love to be known of any allergies or any fears that they may have that prevent them from having good time under my care. I would love to get to know your children have fun we can build Legos or we can crochet anything you wanna do I’m down. I hope you have a beautiful day and hope that you contact me soon.

Shayla is such a blessing. She is so wonderful with my two boys ( 18 months and 4 years) and her experience in speech pathology has helped tremendously with my oldest, who currently attends special sessions. She is reliable, experienced, and communicates consistently. She can handle anything my kids have going on, from potty training to bringing fun, education activities when she comes over. If you get the ability to hire her as your baby sitter, you will be able to work/ go out with ease knowing your little ones are in good hands. And best way to know she is great- my kids love her!

I’m 20 years old with experience caring for children from infancy through age 13. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 and worked at a preschool for four years, including two years as a toddler teacher. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy what I do. I do have infant experience, though most of my background is with toddlers. I’m confident, attentive, and especially comfortable providing focused, one-on-one care for babies and following their routines closely. I’ve also helped with children’s ministry at my church and grew up assisting in nursery care, so I’m comfortable with multiple children and a range of ages and personalities. My approach is warm, patient, and encouraging while still being gently firm when needed. I believe in helping children feel heard and supported while also maintaining clear, consistent expectations. I work best with families who value teamwork and consistency, so we can support the child together in a calm and unified way. I’m CPR certified, safety-focused, and dependable. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun, meaningful activities rather than just keeping them occupied. I’m currently consistently available part-time for this semester and I’m looking for a family or families I can build a reliable, ongoing relationship with. Next semester is likely also an option, though my availability will be a bit more up in the air. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

Ms. Rainn recently starting sitting for our family and she is a blessing to have. She communicates effectively and is very attentive to our 9yr old daughter. She's fun and sings along on morning car rides to school and is very punctual in reporting on time. We appreciate and enjoy having Mr. Rainn as our sitter as she is a great addition to the family.

My first job I was a babysitter. I took care of two kids ages three and seven for five years, after they moved, I started teaching swim lessons at a local gym which I have been doing for almost six years. Most of my students have been twelve and under. Working with kids is a big passion of mine and I can’t wait to help your family!

Being a babysitter is something I'm truly passionate about. There's nothing quite like the joy of watching young minds blossom and grow. I’ve been babysitting since I was a child myself, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Now, as a parent myself, I have a deeper appreciation for the trust that comes with caring for children. I’ve also taken the time to earn certifications in CPR, First Aid, and Fire Safety, along with experience in preschool and elementary education. This background helps me create a safe and nurturing environment where kids can thrive and explore their potential.
