Hi! My name is Zeffyn! I’m a 28 year old trans man who loves working with children & making a difference in their lives positively. I would love to work for a family who is lgbtq+ friendly as that is part of my identity. I have had several years of experience with kids & absolutely love the time I’ve had working with them. Being neurodivergent as well has helped me connect with kiddos on a deeper level & understand how they’re feeling when it’s harder to navigate!

Hi I’m Lily! I’m looking for a babysitting job! I’m 19 years old and have a younger sibling and nieces and nephews I’ve watched for years. Usually from babies to 10.

For nearly a decade, I've been nurturing young minds and creating positive experiences for children. My passion stems from a genuine love for fostering their growth and helping them feel safe and confident. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, which allows me to connect with children easily. I have some college experience and Early Child Development Coursework. I am also trained in CPR. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities that make learning fun. I prioritize clear communication with you, using your preferred method, whether it's verbal updates or regular texts. I'm comfortable following your household rules and happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time. I'm eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family, creating a supportive and joyful environment for your little one to thrive.

Hello! I have 2 adult daughters and a 5 year old grandson. I was in the medical field for over 15 years and took a break for personal and professional reasons. I’ve always loved children but after starting a job search again, I realized that I want to take care of them full time. I’m very patient and trustworthy. I’m not great at promoting myself so feel free to ask me anything!

Elisha M.
- 15 years paid experience

Hi there! I’m Elisha — a mom of four (three school-aged and one at home) and a lifelong caregiver with over 15 years of experience nurturing and supporting children’s growth. I’m currently opening my home to 1–2 little buddies to join our days for play, learning, and lots of fun in a peaceful, family-style setting. For the past 6 years, I’ve provided in-home childcare, and before that, I spent years as a nanny and in daycare settings. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where each child feels seen and valued. Our days are filled with imaginative play, outdoor adventures, reading time, and hands-on activities that let kids explore and be kids. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and building trust so both parents and children feel comfortable and cared for. If you’re looking for a warm, home-based care option where your child can learn, laugh, and make real connections, I’d love to chat and see if we’re a good fit!
