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.

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.

Jazmin was absolutely great! We needed someone last minute on the weekend to watch our two kids. She was punctual and great with our kids 4y and 18m.

Dear Families, My name is Michelle Banchs, and I am excited about the opportunity to provide childcare or companionship for your loved ones. As both a mother of two and someone with professional childcare experience, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children and seniors alike feel valued and cared for. I previously worked at Bravo Arts Academy in Utah, where I gained hands-on professional experience guiding children in their growth, creativity, and daily routines. In addition, I currently volunteer in the children’s ministry at my church, which has allowed me to expand my skills working with kids of various ages in a supportive and structured setting. These experiences, along with raising my own children, have equipped me with patience, flexibility, and the ability to connect with people on a personal level. I am also passionate about offering companionship for seniors. I believe kindness, attentiveness, and trust are at the heart of quality care, and I approach each opportunity with a sense of responsibility and genuine compassion. I would love the chance to support your family and bring peace of mind by caring for your children or providing companionship for your elderly loved one. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and discuss how I can be of service. Warm regards, Michelle Banchs

Katie started to work for us during a transformative time in our lives. It was the birth of our fifth child that required someone with a specific skill set. Someone who was able to step into a house manager position. Katie was managing older kids, activities, maintaining the home, meal prepping, and being of assistance with a baby during the first year of life. She was always punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond to run the home as if it were here own. Everyday she was thinking ahead of ways to make our daily lives run more smoothly.

Hello my name is Kamryn Shoffstall, I am 26 years old and have 5 years experience working professionally within childcare facilities and 8 years babysitting. I also have nanny experience within my own home while living upon a military base and out of my current home for a year and a half. I have had extensive background checks and maintain a clean driving record. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have my own transportation and can pick up and drop off if needed. I know how hard it can be to find trustworthy people to care for your children, I am here to help you out! I know this is different but I prefer doing care out of my own home as my home is set up to accommodate more children including my own. I have a 4 year old girl and 11 month old girl. We have a kid friendly home with toys and activities for all age ranges. We do have stairs but have baby gates at top and bottom. Our upstairs is a loft like area that is full of toys, a whiteboard and learning posters. There is also a bathroom and bedroom that is not regularly used. This room could be used for naps or rest time. We have baby locked cabinets in the kitchen and a potty seat for small children.

Mejone was absolutely incredible with all four of my children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she brought such a warm, calming, and positive presence into our home that immediately made both me and my kids feel comfortable and at ease. Managing four children can be a lot, but Mejone handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine care. She has a natural ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. Each of my kids felt seen, heard, and valued, which meant so much to me as a parent. She was attentive to their individual needs while still maintaining structure and routine, which helped everything run smoothly day to day. Mejone was consistently reliable, punctual, and professional. I never had to worry when my children were in her care because I knew they were safe, well cared for, and happy. She balanced being nurturing and compassionate with being firm when needed, which created a respectful and positive environment for my kids. What really stood out was how engaged she was with them. She didn’t just supervise she actively participated in their day, whether that meant organizing fun and creative activities, helping with learning and development, or simply spending quality time talking and playing with them. My children genuinely looked forward to the time they spent with her, which speaks volumes. She also communicated very well with me, always keeping me informed and providing updates that gave me peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who is not only trustworthy and dependable but also truly passionate about what they do, and Mejone is exactly that. Having Mejone as our nanny was such a blessing to our family. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring, and exceptional nanny.
