I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Isabelle went above and beyond for us! Our son is autistic so we have never had a babysitter before and Isabelle was so great with him and our other children. She even put away the toys and did some cleaning after putting the kids to sleep.

I am a in search for a new beginning, I love taking care of my fur babies as well as others. I on occasion babysit a family friends' granddaughter and used to babysit a friends' twins, as well as for my siblings at times. I am really good with children and animals i am very attentive to what their needs may be. I have taken college courses in both psychology and developmental psychology, oral communications, first aid, and cpr class while pursuing career paths that I will continue to pursue on the side in the near future. In the meantime, I want to do something that I love doing, which is taking care of other people and animals. I love babysitting because I am excellent with children or caring for others. I'm very honest, dependable, empathetic, understanding, and patient, which are all good things to have when caring for anyone of any age. I look forward to hopefully meeting new people and providing dependable care for your families.

Hi! I’m a college student currently studying in the healthcare field. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to help families who need a dependable sitter for date nights, appointments, after school, errands,or other occasional needs. I would love to help out around the house with any laundry, organizing, meal prep, anything you want me to help out with I am very open! I have a reliable vehicle if needed to drive to school or anywhere specific. While I’m new to professional babysitting, I have experience caring for young children through my family. I regularly spend time with and help care for my two nieces, who are both under 6 months old, as well as my two year-old nephew. This has made me comfortable around both infants and toddlers. I also previously worked in the NICU at UnityPoint Health, which gave me experience being in a professional healthcare environment around newborns and families. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and take children’s safety seriously. I’m currently looking for flexible/occasional opportunities where I can get to know families, gain more childcare experience, and provide a safe and caring environment for their little ones!

I am looking for a nanny or babysitting position that is either full time, part time or one time because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families. I am dependable, patient, kind, hardworking and willing to assist with housekeeping, daily tasks, and creating a supportive environment for both children and parents. I have a reliable transportation and several years of babysitting experience caring for my nieces, nephew, and neighbor's children, as well as being a nanny last summer for my nieces and nephew. I enjoy building positive relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and entertained. what I love most about being a sitter is getting to know the children as well as creating a fun and comforting environment for them. Some more of my strengths include caring for babies and young children, bottle feeding, diaper changing, being a positive role model, bedtime, naps, and routine assistance, homework help, strong communication skills, spending time outdoors with them like going on walks, going to the park, playing games, and creating engaging activities that keep children active, happy and safe.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.
