Hi! My name is Audrey and I am 24 years old! I am looking to get involved in some part time babysitting as I really miss working with children! I moved to State College in August 2024 to start graduate school! I am getting my PhD in Psychology. I wanted to get back involved in working with kids as I have spent so many years working with them and haven't since I have been here! I have a ton of experience with children. Most recently, I babysat an 18 month old I met through SitterCity! I babysat her for a summer, and occasionally have worked with the family as she became a toddler and her younger brother became a toddler as well. I also used to be a Head Summer Counselor (2018-2019) for 6-7 year olds and have had numerous experience babysitting kids, ranging from infants to toddlers to teenagers! At this point, I have about 10 years of babysitting experience. I am usually in classes between 9 AM-3 PM, but the rest of my hours could be flexible. In past experiences, I have played toys, made snacks and meals, put kids to bed, driven kids to extracurriculars, done homework help, and anything in between. I also can foresee my future involving working with kids and would love to help your family! I am a licensed and insured driver with a clean driving record.

Hi families! My name is Ruthza (Rue), and I’m a 4th-year Psychology major at Penn State. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I bring both experience and enthusiasm to every babysitting job. I first started caring for little ones by volunteering for three years in my church’s nursery with children ages 1–5. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with two wonderful families back home over the past two summers, as well as helping out family and friends whenever needed. I’ve consistently been the “go-to” babysitter and have received great feedback for being dependable, caring, and attentive. In addition to keeping kids engaged and safe, I can also help with homework, light housekeeping, meal prep, and organizing daily routines. Whether it’s planning fun activities, helping with schoolwork, or just being a reliable extra set of hands, I enjoy supporting families and making things easier at home. Babysitting is more than just a job for me—it’s something I truly love. Every child has their own personality, curiosity, and way of seeing the world, and I enjoy being part of their growth and development. I find joy in creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids can learn, play, and thrive. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting your family and being someone you can count on!

I’ve been babysitting for around 10 years, and working with kids is something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I’m reliable, safety-trained, and confident handling all ages—from infants to older kids. I’m the type of sitter who likes to keep things fun and active with games, crafts, or outdoor play, but I also respect family routines and schedules. I believe in creating a positive, inclusive environment where children feel safe, supported, and respected. Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m self-sufficient and can keep things running smoothly without needing a lot of direction. I’m also comfortable helping with tidying, laundry, and light cleaning. I know how busy life can get, and I take pride in making parents’ days a little easier so they can focus on time with their kids instead of housework. Babysitting has always been more than a side job to me—it’s something I care about deeply. I love seeing kids grow, learn new things, and gain confidence. My goal is to bring both reliability and warmth to every family I work with.
