Hi, my name is Kayla Smith, but I go by Kay. I am an older sister to three younger siblings so even when I was still a kid myself, I looked after my siblings. I have babysat infants alongside other children and work well in hectic environments. I am able to keep a tidy environment and find that’s just as important as the caregiving aspect when it comes to caring for children. I was also in college classes when I was in school, so I have an easy time helping kid’s with their homework, as well. It can be scary to hire a babysitter who you don’t know personally, but I assure you that I am one of the safest help you can hire. I get along with children very well and will always follow a parent’s or guardian’s rules and never try to overstep boundaries :)

Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced babysitter with 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve volunteered in church nurseries caring for infants, and regularly babysit for families during small groups and events. One of my most rewarding experiences was managing a group of 7 children, ages 3–12, on my own—keeping everyone safe, engaged, and having fun! I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I’m 18 and currently working toward becoming a registered nurse—I’ll be starting nursing school soon, which runs from 8 AM to 5 PM. I’m fun, outgoing, and love spending time with kids—especially doing hands-on activities like simple science experiments, nature walks, and helping them explore and learn new things! Right now, I’m close to reaching my savings goal for a car, so I’m looking for flexible babysitting jobs that fit around my current part-time work schedule (mainly on my days off). I’m also open to short-term opportunities that could temporarily take the place of my current job. Once school starts, I’ll be looking for something more consistent in the evenings—ideally a regular nanny position that works around my class schedule. I’m passionate about childcare and love creating fun, safe, and enriching experiences for kids. I’d love the chance to work with your family!

I’ve been babysitting since I was 14. I babysit infants & toddlers, I just graduated high school. I love being around kids having fun drawings, watching movies, reading, baking.

Hi, I’m Caterine, I am from Colombia, and I graduated with a degree in early childhood education. I enjoy working with children because I like teaching, I like helping them with whatever they need, but above all, I like helping them become more independent every day so they can have a better future. I have experience caring for children in my country and helping them with their homework, and I would like to continue doing so.

I love working and playing with kids. I used to babysit my hometown neighbors all the time and it was so much fun. I also worked at a daycare for a little bit and I enjoyed that as well. I love all ages to babysit and work with. I enjoy reading to them and playing games as well!

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with kids — they are full of energy and creativity. I have experience taking care of babies and older children, including changing diapers and keeping them entertained with fun activities. I’m very active and enjoy sports, so I love playing outdoors and keeping kids engaged. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I always make sure the children are safe, happy, and having a great time.

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. My five years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11 have instilled in me a deep understanding of their needs. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational apps. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I prioritize open communication with parents through verbal updates, texts, or their preferred method. I am happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I have some college experience and hold current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I have a car and I am comfortable with pets. Ultimately, I chose this path to support families and create a positive impact on children's lives, and I hope to bring that dedication to your family.
