Hi, I’m Sydney, I’m 20 years old and have 8 years experience with kids aged 6 weeks - 12 years. I love baking, cooking, crafting, and being outdoors. I’ve always had a passion for kids as well as helping people when needed. So babysitting was an easy way for me to be able to do that. So whenever you are in need of a babysitter just let me know!

Hello my name is Nataliha Oleniczak. I am a student at Heartland College and I play softball. I am from Wisconsin. I love kids and I have 4 years of babysitting experience!! I am CPR certified and went through babysitting classes. I am a very outgoing and fun person to be around and I am very flexible with softball. We get our schedules out a couple weeks before the month starts so I can work around it. Our season starts in the middle of February so definitely a little more busy and on the road. I can cook, clean, help with homework, do anything you ask me to do. I have babysitted ages, 5-12. I love taking kids to the park, bike rides, on walks, or even watching tv with them.

Hi, I’m Mia! I’ve spent years helping raise my two nephews and my niece—pretty much from the time they were wobbly walkers all the way to reading their first books. I genuinely love being around kids because they’re hilarious, curious, and always surprising me. I’m comfortable with everything from play-time adventures to helping with early learning, meals, and bedtime routines. Families say I’m patient, reliable, and a natural at keeping kids entertained while still keeping things safe. Whether it’s reading stories, building forts, or coming up with silly games, I make sure your little ones have fun and feel cared for. I am CPR+First Aid Certified
