I have had the opportunity to work with children in many different ways, including coaching, tutoring, and babysitting. This has given me the chance not to only have fun with your child but also help them grow while you are feeling secure with the person that is watching them. Ps: i’ll go on any adventure your child wants to go on in the backyard haha

Where do I even begin?! Finding a great babysitter feels impossible these days, but we genuinely hit the jackpot. From day one she walked in with so much energy and warmth that our kid was immediately obsessed with her — honestly, sometimes MORE excited to see her than us (which says everything). She is the kind of person you just trust instantly. Responsible, attentive, fun, and always one step ahead. We never once had to worry when she was with our child — that peace of mind is truly priceless as a parent. She has been such a positive presence in our home and our family genuinely adores her. If she is available, do not hesitate — just book her. You will not regret it for a single second. 10/10, would recommend a thousand times over!

I’m 24, reliable and trustworthy. I’m results based and love to help reach milestones. Keeping children engaged and creative is one of my strong suits! I love to teach. Things I’ve helped out with in past nanny positions were potty training, sleep training, semi solid food intake, homework, swimming and help at sporting events. I even love to teach littles how to assist in the kitchen while maintaining kitchen safety. Somewhat Montessori based in the independence driven aspect! Please reach out if my profile interests you! . .

I'm Perla! I'm 22, and I have been working with kids for 5 years! I worked at a mobile petting zoo, was a Dental Assistant for 2 years, and currently am working at a Settlement Home for Children! I've always enjoyed being around kids and I'm greatful I was able to move onto something that seems for me! I'm a mom to a 1 month old little boy! I'm currently on maternity leave and still juggling around if I will return to work, or take on babysitting/nannying for those who will allow me to bring my little boy when and if needed, as it's only us 2 and leaving him with family could be challenging at times. I hope to be a great fit for your little ones and exceed your needs!

It has been a very long and special association with Katie. She cared for our older child years ago, and we were incredibly fortunate to have her return to care for our younger one six years later. Our family feels truly blessed that both of our children had the opportunity to be loved and cared for by Katie during their earliest years. Katie treats the children in her care as if they were her own, and both of our kids absolutely adore her. She is exceptionally professional, always punctual, reliable, and communicative. We always appreciated how openly she shared updates about their daily activities and development. Beyond providing outstanding childcare, Katie helped with meal preparation and baby-related household tasks, making our lives so much easier. Her years of experience were invaluable—whenever we felt stuck, whether with sleep regressions, teething, or other parenting challenges, she always offered thoughtful suggestions and practical solutions. One of the greatest joys has been watching the beautiful bond she shares with our baby. Katie is incredibly trustworthy, and we went to work with complete peace of mind knowing our child was in the best possible hands. She took our baby on walks, prepared meals, helped establish healthy sleep habits, and lovingly cared for her even when she was sick. Simply put, I cannot imagine getting through our baby's first year without Katie's support, expertise, and genuine love. She has been an irreplaceable part of our family's journey, and we will always be grateful for the care she has given our children. Any family would be lucky to have her.

I am a caring, responsible, and bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with nearly 20 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age. My background combines both professional and personal experience — as a babysitter, nanny, Au Pair, and proud mom of two wonderful boys (now 8 and 9). I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s degree, which, while not directly related to childcare, reflect my commitment, discipline, and professionalism. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and attentive in every detail of their child’s care. My childcare journey started early. When my youngest brother was born, I gained hands-on experience as a teenager. In 2007, I became an Au Pair in Falls Church, VA, caring full-time for a 5-year-old girl and later a newborn baby boy. Since then, I’ve continued to provide childcare for many families, from infants as young as a few months old to energetic preschoolers and elementary-age children. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and nurturing a child’s growth at every stage. I enjoy creating a warm environment with activities like reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, board games, and simple educational activities that encourage creativity and development. I also love preparing healthy meals and snacks that children enjoy. I am CPR and First Aid certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and fully engaged with their children. I always keep open communication with parents so they feel confident and supported. My availability is Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. I am seeking a family who values a loving, professional caregiver to support their child’s daily routine, growth, and happiness.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Melissa to take care of our 1-year old son. She worked as our full-time nanny for three months. She is warm, dependable, and truly attentive. She consistently stayed on top of our baby’s feeding and sleep schedule and even prepared healthy meals for him. Melissa was amazingly patient—especially since he wasn’t sleep trained—and she kept him happily engaged with creative play and interaction, with no screen time. If we ever need a babysitter again, Melissa will definitely be our first choice.

I knew Melanie would be a great fit for our family when she was able to calm my fussy 10 month old while I was still home! She is communicative, caring, and is great with my special needs baby. We also love that she is so great with our high energy dog. I’m so happy we found her!

Hello my name is Jasmine! I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs on weekday evenings or weekends. I have over 9 years of experience caring for children. I have worked as a childcare provider & coordinator in daycare centers, I’ve worked as a Montessori preschool teacher, and I have been a tutor, babysitter, nanny, & house manager to many families in the Austin, TX area as well as my hometown in Washington state. My babysitting and nanny experience is with age groups ranging from infants to teens. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a clean/safe driving record, I am a non-smoker, and I have all of my shots up to date. I was a swimmer and can teach children how to swim, and I was also a tutor so homework help will not be a problem! I am also a pet sitter so pets will also not be an issue. I am a positive, loving, caring, punctual, mature, and engaging caregiver. I have great communication skills as well as manners. I am so passionate to work with children and help them learn and grow. I do like to plan activities for the kids while I am caring for them. Crafts, healthy snacks/meals, educational activities, and sometimes something outdoors like taking them to a park/playground or a library! While caring for your children, I care for them as my very own! Thank you so much! If you have any questions or want to schedule an interview, please don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck!
