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.

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!

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.

My name is Destinee Stewart, and I’m a political science major at Southern Mississippi, with a potential double major in social work. Throughout my life, I’ve worked with children, from my younger brother and twin cousins to my little nieces and nephews. I’ve also gained experience working with children with autism and Down syndrome. Additionally, during my entire senior year of high school, I volunteered as an in-classroom mentor, assisting kindergarteners with their work and providing one-on-one support to those who were struggling. As for recent experience I have been volunteering at an after school program which involved helping multiple children with homework playing with them until their parents came. I have experience working with children from ages 4months to 13 years old.
