Lyra P., Babysitter in Austin, TX 78704 with 8 years of paid experience

Hey there, families! My name is Lyra, and I hail from the land of breakfast tacos and live music, Austin, Texas. I am currently a Neuroscience and Psychology student at the UT Austin, which means I know exactly how to get inside your kids' heads! Just kidding...or am I? When it comes to children, I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and love. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants to teenagers, and even those with special needs. I've coached, tutored, mentored, and played with them all! My passion is engaging kids in imaginative and creative play, especially activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. I've got a background in theatre and acting, which means I can lead the kids in a game of "let's pretend," or even act out some of their favorite stories. And let's not forget my love for reading - I'm happy to help your little ones get lost in a good book, or even write their own stories! Now, let's get down to business. Safety is my top priority, and that's why I am Health Care Provider CPR & First Aid Certified. So, if the kiddos scrape their knees or bump their heads, I'll be ready to handle it with ease. Overall, I am thrilled to bring my skills, experience, and personality to your family. Let's work together to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

We first hired Amy for a few days when our son was about 4 months and I had to go out of town. We then decided to use Amy part-time up until our boy started at a day care at 6 months and for an occasional date night. At the interview Amy asked questions about our baby and was genuinely interested to get to know him. She’s very attentive and she always meets our baby’s energy. When they spend time together she always follows his cues whether it’s play, sleep or hunger. She always stays active with him during her visits: they read books, play music and go outside. It is obvious that his enrichment and development is important to her. We're very happy with Amy and would highly recommend her services!

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!

Kady was definitely our go to babysit our so. Who was ten and now turning 11, and she has been wonderful. She is incredibly kind, patient, and creative, and kids naturally gravitate toward her. Our son absolutely loves spending time with her and is always excited when she is around. She does a great job keeping children engaged with activities, games, and crafts instead of just relying on screens. Whether she's watching him at home, taking him on outings, or helping during events, she is always responsible, attentive, and dependable. Kady is someone we trust completely, and it’s easy to see why she wants to become a teacher. She has a natural gift with children and knows how to make them feel comfortable, included, and cared for. I would highly recommend Kady to any family looking for a babysitter. Any child would be lucky to spend time with her.

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Davi, who watched our 3 kids while we were travelling in Austin. She came to our apartment twice, prepared with fun activities to keep our kiddos engaged, having fun, without devices: From baking to charades to hide and seek. We would love to ask Davi to babysit again, and would highly recommend!

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!
