I’ve babysat for a total 3 years, and I even worked at a skate station day care program, which ranges from kindergarten-eighth grade for 2 years.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to create a safe, caring, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and supported while their parents are away. I enjoy building connections with kids, helping them learn, and being someone they can trust. I have experience caring for children of various ages, whether through babysitting for family members, friends, or others, where I’ve handled responsibilities like meal preparation, homework help, playtime, and bedtime routines. I bring strong skills in patience, communication, and problem-solving, along with a natural ability to stay calm and attentive in different situations. I also understand the importance of safety, reliability, and following parents’ instructions closely, and I am always willing to continue learning and improving my caregiving abilities.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Watching kids learn, play, and grow is something that brings me a lot of joy. I also have many younger nieces, nephews, and cousins, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. Being able to support families and create a fun, positive environment for their kids is something I truly value. I am currently a nursing student at the University of Southern Mississippi and am enrolled in courses such as pediatrics and obstetrics. Through my pediatric clinicals at Forrest General Hospital, I have gained hands-on experience caring for sick children and supporting families in healthcare settings. This experience has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of children’s health needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I have many years of personal experience caring for my nieces, nephews, and younger cousins. I am BLS (Basic Life Support) certified and have training in several healthcare-related skills through my nursing education. I am knowledgeable in medication administration and comfortable with tasks related to basic medical care and monitoring. My nursing background also means I am attentive, responsible, and trained to respond calmly in emergency situations. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in caring and capable hands.

Hannah B.

Hi guys! My name is Hannah and I am currently enrolled at USM. I am a nursing major! I am located in Hattiesburg and am looking for local babysitting (and/or petsitting) gigs, primarily so I can make some extra money while in school. While I don’t have much professional babysitting experience, I have worked in aftercare for a school in New Orleans for some months and have younger siblings that I’ve had to care for at times. I will need to work around my school schedule and, if okay with the employer, may need to bring my schoolwork with me to work on during spare time, especially if I am needed for a longer period. If driving is necessary, I would like some extra compensation for gas. I like to say I adopt an older sister role, and I would be so grateful to be trusted with your loved ones!
