Hi, I'm Izzy Sawicki! I'm a nursing major at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where I also play Division 2 lacrosse. I am looking to babysit occasionally and weekends because I am a student athlete! I have a passion for working with kids and have plenty of experience babysitting kids aged from 7 months to 8 years old. On top of that, I'm a certified lifeguard and hold CPR and First Aid certifications, ensuring that your children are in safe hands. I love creating a fun, engaging, and secure environment for kids, whether it's through playing games, helping with homework, or just being a caring and responsible presence. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your children!

I’m a senior in high school who has been babysitting all throughout high school, and I truly love working with kids. I’m certified in babysitting, First Aid, and CPR, and I’m considering going to college for teaching, so spending time with children is something I’m really passionate about. Families can count on me to be kind, caring, compassionate, and responsible. I have my own car and can babysit after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m excited to help out in any way your family might need, whether that’s playing with the kids, helping with homework, or keeping things organized.

Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a single mom to 2 kids (now young adults 😩)! I have so much love to give, and hope I can give some to your kids too! I was working at an in-home daycare from 2017-2020, but we were closed down due to Covid-19, and my boss then made the decision to not re-open. I LOVED my job mostly bc I loved the kids! I used to own my own daycare back in early 2005- late 2006 but moved to PA from NH and had to close it down. After the daycare closed (in 2020), I spent the next 3 years nannying for 2 different families from the daycare- part time each- for kids the ages of 4 months, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 (when I started). Most recently have 2 families with 2 kids each- ages 2, 3, 3, and 5- (started when they were 1 week old, 1, 1 and 3). To give you an idea how I run things- a typical day will look like this: I like to keep the kids on a routine- morning free play, snack, walk (if the neighborhood allows for this with sidewalks etc), craft or coloring sheet/worksheet, lunch, dance “party” usually follows lunch, could be a video with a dance they love like freeze dance or shake your sillies out or we’ll play a board game or do flash cards or puzzles, playtime, storytime, nap time for littles (if there are any), harder craft/games for older kids who don’t nap if they want one, quiet activities if not, I also utilize this time to clean up morning mess and the kitchen from lunch etc. Then it's end of nap time (2 hours), snack, outside play (chalk, bubbles, hopscotch, water games when it's hot etc). I bring all the stuff for crafts, games, and outside play. I also utilize a “prize bucket” if the kids have trouble with listening or getting into routine with the rest of the kids (if there are any). I firmly believe in positive reinforcement over punishment so every time they show good listening skills or do something helpful, they get to pick a prize out of the bucket. For older kids (ages 4+), it works a little differently but still get prizes. I also really enjoy taking the kids to activities/events away from home. We regularly visit local parks, libraries, indoor play places. I will be available Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends starting in June and then also M,W,F starting mid-August. I can start/end whatever hours you need. 😊
