Zeima g M., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 5 years of paid experience

Why Do I Love Being a Sitter? I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. As a mother of one daughter who is now out of state attending dental school, I’ve always found caring for children incredibly fulfilling. Having just one child has made me treasure the opportunity to nurture and connect with kids, which is why babysitting feels so rewarding to me. Building trust with both children and parents is something I deeply value. What Experience Do I Have? I have extensive experience caring for children and also have a background in caring for the elderly, which has taught me patience, empathy, and responsibility. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I’m confident in managing their daily routines, ensuring their safety, and making their day enjoyable. What Skills and Training Do I Have? I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy incorporating it into caregiving, whether it’s helping bilingual families or teaching children basic words. While I’m still improving my English, I can communicate well and ensure clear understanding with both children and parents. I’m currently working on reactivating my CPR certification to ensure I’m always prepared. My skills include safely driving kids to and from school or activities, engaging in creative play, and assisting with light housework to help keep things running smoothly at home. I’m excited to bring dedication, care, and enthusiasm to your family!

Gabriela has been taking care of our 2 children (3 and 6) for almost 1 year and she's been absolutely amazing. We were lucky to find her shortly after moving to Austin with no family to lean on: dependable, affectionate, and always accommodating, she quickly got up to speed with the child care duties and our entire family grew incredibly fond of her. Our children at times would cry when her shift ended and didn't want to let her leave. This tells you all there is to know. We highly recommend Gabriela to any family looking for a trusted, caring sitter.

Jazmin T., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 7 years of paid experience

I love working with kids. I’ve been babysitting for over six years and also gained experience caring for children at a play center. I enjoy playing, coloring, singing, dancing—anything that brings a smile to a child’s face. I recently graduated from the University of Arkansas in May, and am working towards becoming a pediatrician. Babysitting is a wonderful way for me to continue building skills that will prepare me for that career.

Davi S., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Davi, I grew up in rural Texas, but now find myself living in Austin. I’m the oldest of 3 so as I grew up, I helped my mom manage our household. I’ve been babysitting and taking care of children for almost as long. Starting the summer of my 6th grade year (2006) I stayed with 2 boys ages 8&6. Since then, I’ve babysat/nannied for many families with multiple children (and animals). The last family I nannied for had a newborn who I had most of the day and then I had her 3 brothers when they were out of school. I believe kids should not sit in front of screens all day, so I try to get them to use their imaginations as much as possible. I’m very hands on and am down for anything from play dough to baking (age appropriate of course). My mom taught Pre-K for 20+ years so I’m aware of things that kids need to do in development such as crawling before they walk, touching their toes with their opposite hand, and that they need to be able to do things at their pace, even if they make a mess, so they can learn.

Claudia R., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello families! I hope you are doing well! My name is Claudia. I graduated from Boston College with a BA in psychology, a concentration in clinical psychology, and a minor in Hispanic studies in 2020, and I am a current Ph.D. student at UT Austin studying School Psychology. Although I grew up in NY, I have been living in ATX since starting my graduate program in the summer of 2020. I am looking for babysitting opportunities that can work around my class schedule. This includes afternoon, evening, date-night, weekend, overnight, and travel babysitting jobs. In short, any time you need a few hours to yourself, I'm just a phone call away - even if it is last minute! I am flexible, accommodating, and dependable, have my own transportation, and am willing to travel up to 10 miles away. A little bit about me: I am a native Spanish speaker from Spain and have over 8 years of experience babysitting for all ages, including infants, toddlers, and adolescents, as well as kiddos with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, and severe allergies. Additionally, I have experience babysitting multiple children at once, and I am comfortable with pets. As a babysitter, I am friendly, reliable, patient, and fun, and I can provide various references! I am a non-smoker, CPR certified, and have a valid NY state driver's license and a spotless driving record. I also lead an active lifestyle, so I have no problem participating in outdoor activities with children! In addition, I do not mind doing some light cooking and cleaning, as well as homework help, driving, and errands. My safety and the safety of those around me are of the utmost importance to me. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (Moderna x2 + booster) and get tested regularly through UT Austin. I wear a mask whenever I am around others (including outside) and am happy to do so in your home if you so desire. Further, I have my flu vaccine, and all of my other vaccines are up to date. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you are interested in me as your go-to on-call sitter. I look forward to hearing from you!

Claudia was prompt and - more important - was great with my girls! They were comfortable with her quickly and had fun together. We are looking forward to having her back.

Hello families! I am 25 years old I love learning new things, taking on new challenges and most of all working with children. I've always loved being around children and caring for them since a very young age. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I have been a nanny to a few families and babysat for many. I worked for NEISD as an Avid Tutor for Reagan High School and loved mentoring 9th through 12th graders. I am COVID vaccinated and CPR certified as well. Thank you for your time!

Leia R., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi Parents! If you’re looking for a fun, energetic, dedicated young nanny, i’d like to introduce myself! I have looked after my two younger siblings since I was 8/yo & started babysitting outside of the house since the age of 16. I wanted to find a job where I could be supportive, creative, and be genuinely happy with what I was engaging my energy and time with. Last year I decided to take it to another step and be a live in nanny! I’ve have experience with the ages 2 to 12 years and up with three kids at a time. My interests are art, dance, nature, photography, I like contemplating them as much as I can when working; crafts, learning techniques/games, dancing & of course also learning and taking part of activities your children enjoy! Hope to hear from you soon, thank you!
