Hello, my name is Presley and I am 19 years old! Spending time with kiddos always brightens my day. I love coloring with them, singing and dancing, and especially learning new numbers and letters. As important as it is to learn new things and meet their developmentally appropriate needs, it is also important to have play time and have fun with them as well! Something that I take pride in and is probably my favorite part about spending my time with children is that I can create a fun, loving, safe, and welcoming environment for the to learn and be themselves in. We spend so much time with kiddos in a day as teachers, aides, babysitters, and more so we should make the best of those moments! I have been babysitting for family friends and neighbors since I was about 10 years old. I also am currently finishing up a job as a student aide in a classroom with 3-5 year olds.

Leah V.
- 7 years paid experience
- 13 miles
My name is Leah, and I am twenty years old working on publishing three books while waitressing to bring in money. Having my first nephew at the age of eight I’ve grown up looking after kids and began babysitting very young which transferred into nannying later on, working for my church nursery, as well as the daycare at MVP Sportsplex where I became certified in First Aid and CPR. That’s over seven years of experience with children ages 0-12 years. I have a passion for taking care of little ones and giving them the love and care they deserve while their parents are away. My work is built on mutual respect and trust with parents to create a loving atmosphere for their children. Every child deserves to be heard and cared for lovingly, while this remains true I will kindly correct behavior to help each child grow. I would love to look after your children and help your lives be a little bit easier. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving kids. I love getting kids out of the house whether that is to a park or library. I will always clean around the house and am more than happy to assist with laundry or other household chores. Cooking and planning engaging and nurturing activities is something I am more than happy to do. Most of all I wish to give your child safe and nurturing care while their parents are away because I know it’s tough on little ones and I want nothing more than to help their time be filled with fun, love, and support!

Hi! I’m Mercedes, a nursing student specializing in pediatrics and a passionate caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to young teens. I’ve always loved working with kids, and my goal is to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn and thrive. I’m CPR certified, and I have experience with children who have special needs (including ADHD and autism). My background in nursing gives me an extra level of attentiveness when it comes to safety and health. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and fun educational activities to keep kids engaged and happy. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, meal prep, homework assistance, pet care, bathing, and bedtime routines. Parents describe me as responsible, patient, and trustworthy—someone they can count on. If you’re looking for a nanny or babysitter who is caring, dependable, and passionate about helping children grow, I’d love to connect with your family!

I would love to be a babysitter because caring for children has always been a big part of my life. As the oldest of four younger siblings, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience in helping with everything from daily routines to fun activities and problem-solving. I’m also CPR certified, which means safety is always my top priority. In addition, I’m currently a college student, which has taught me responsibility, time management, and patience, qualities that I bring into childcare. Babysitting gives me the chance to combine my experience, skills, and love for kids in a meaningful way.

I have had a lot of experience in the past with working with kids. I’ve nannied for a summer, volunteered in nursery for 6 years, and babysat for 5. I have worked with many different kids, all ranging in age and development. I have taken child development classes at school and helped in special education classes. I am not cpr or first aid certified, but have grown up around nurses and worked with kids long enough to be able to know and understand what is going on and how to care for them in certain situations. If you have any questions or would like to know more about my qualifications please text me at, (616) 644-5434.
