Hello! My name is Britt. 😊 I grew up in WA state near Seattle and came to CA for college. I have 29 years of experience... Ever since age 13 I’ve babysat for several families at a time and also loved it! I think the best part of it all is getting to see these tiny beings change and grow, seeing their personalities come to light. Many might see babysitting as just a necessity for parents to be able to go out and have adult time, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to have fun, to engage a child’s sense of wonder and their sense of self. I like to do activities with them and be outdoors when possible. I’m very respectful of parents’ preferences and like to follow their same rules set for their kids. I know that being a parent can sometimes be challenging... I can be there to help give you a much needed break or to help make daily life a little easier for you. While I have not been blessed to be a mother yet myself, I’ve learned a wide variety of things from each of the families I’ve had the pleasure to know and love. I have experience with autistic, Down syndrome, as well as behaviorally challenged individuals. I can help with homework, house work, transportation, and errands. I also am available for overnights, weekend stays (or longer if needed) and assistance on family vacations. Any other questions feel free to ask! ☺️

Hi! I’m a NICU nurse with extensive experience caring for newborns and children, and I bring the same dedication, skill, and compassion to my babysitting. Working in the NICU has taught me how to stay calm under pressure, anticipate needs, and provide highly individualized care, so parents can trust their children are safe, supported, and well-cared-for at all times. I understand the importance of routines, gentle guidance, and creating a nurturing environment where kids feel secure, happy, and engaged.

I’ve been babysitting for 8 years and have experience with children of all different ages. I also worked as a nanny for two young boys, which gave me even more hands-on experience with daily routines and long-term care. I’ve handled everything from bedtime and dinner prep to school pickups and driving kids to activities. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. They’re fun, creative, and full of energy, and I like being part of that.
