Hi, I am Hailey Lawrence. I am 18 years old going to school for early childhood education. I enjoy babysitting because I raised my younger siblings and my younger cousins for 8 years of their lives. When I was 14 I started working at busy bee daycare while I would occasionally babysit my foster parents twins. I always enjoyed helping others and just being able to be fun and creative with the kids. I always have planned activities that I get approved to do by the parents.

Hi! I’m Morgan. I’m 22 years old and I’m looking to be a babysitter. I have babysat kids before and have been told I’m very good with kids. My patience runs high so maybe that’s it.

I also have CPR certification and know basic first aid. I am willing to do light house keeping and simple meals (I’m not much of a cook).

I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! I’m Mo — a dependable, caring, and creative sitter you can trust. I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and imagination into the world — and I feel honored to help nurture that. Whether we’re reading a favorite book for the fifth time, doing a fun craft, or tackling homework together, I’m passionate about creating a safe, engaging space where children feel heard and supported. I have [insert number of years, e.g., 3+ years] of experience caring for children of various ages — from infants to preteens. I’ve worked with families as a part-time sitter, camp counselor, and even volunteered in youth programs, so I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to after-school routines. My background includes CPR/First Aid certification, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have experience supporting kids with special needs and can adapt quickly to different parenting styles and household expectations. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves what they do — I’d love to connect!
