Hi! I’m Jazlyn! I’ve been babysitting for about 4 years and have experience with little ones as young as 3 months all the way up to 9 years old. I really enjoy being around kids and getting to know their personalities, interests, and routines. I’m happy to help with pretty much anything you need, like playing and keeping them entertained to homework, snacks, dinner, naps, and bedtime. I can also help with rides to and from school, activities, or other places when needed. I’m currently working toward getting my CNA license before continuing on to nursing school to hopefully work in Peds. I’ve always loved taking care of people specifically kids, and I think babysitting has been such a fun way to do something I enjoy while gaining more experience. I’m patient, dependable, and easygoing, and I always want the kids I’m watching to feel comfortable and have a good time! I’d love to meet your family and hopefully become someone you can feel comfortable relying on when you need a babysitter! Thank you!

Hi! My name is Frances, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with extensive experience working with children of all ages. I am an elementary school teacher, currently teaching grades K–5, so I’m very familiar with children at different developmental stages, learning styles, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a parent to a child with special needs, autism to be more specific, which has given me hands-on experience, understanding, and confidence in providing patient, attentive, and individualized care. I’m comfortable supporting children who may need extra structure, communication support, or emotional reassurance. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with age-appropriate activities like reading, crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I can help with homework, simple meals, and daily routines. My top priorities are always safety, kindness, and creating a calm, positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide care you can trust.

"I am a mother of five grown children, so I bring decades of hands-on, real-world child-rearing experience to this job. Raising four boys and a girl taught me how to stay calm under pressure, juggle multiple schedules, and create a warm, structured, and safe home environment. Because my youngest is now 19, I have the time, energy, and deep passion to dedicate myself fully to caring for another family with the same love and patience I gave my own."
