I truly enjoy working with children. I realized how special young children are when I helped raise my newborn twin siblings at the age of 14. I worked at a daycare for approximately one year, and I've also had some housecleaning positions that involved babysitting, which were always the most enjoyable days. I have experience caring for children with special needs, including those with autism and those who have been abused, as well as others.

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience with childcare. I was a live in Au Pair in Switzerland for a Swiss family caring for their 3 children. I have experience as a night nanny for a newborn till 6 months. I was with a previous family for 4 years, started when their son was 3 months and continued with the addition of his sister. My most recent family was a set of twins I cared for starting when they were 12 weeks old. They were adorable and a lot of fun! I love creating bonds with the children and families and watching them grow. I have a hard time parting as I really love the kiddos I care for. I am very confident with my skills and patience handling newborns on up. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello Families! I have been a sitter for the past 6 years for many local families and worked at a home daycare for multiple summers. I love helping children and watching them grow. I am very trusting, encouraging and loving. I recently moved to the area for school. I am in Nursing school and am looking for new local families I can help whenever I am able to. I am CPR, First Aid and BLS trained and have references. I have a clean driving record, new SUV, and am able to drive to your home or drive the children wherever they would need to be. I am comfortable around any animals and have pets of my own. I would be willing to help out around your home if needed during nap/down times or run any errands during the day or during school pickups/dropoffs. I would love to get to know some new families near me and get to know your littles!

Hi! I’m Naomi, and I love working with kids. I believe babysitting is more than just watching the clock, it's about connecting with your children and making sure they have a great time while you're away. From building epic blanket forts and playing board games to exploring outdoors, I bring a lot of energy and creativity to the table. I'm also happy to help with light tidying up and bedtime routines to make your evening seamless!
