I have over 10 years of babysitting experience, which began when I was in high school. Throughout this time, I have cared for children ranging in age from 2 to 13, and I have truly loved every moment of working with children. My experience babysitting helped me realize how much I enjoy working with and caring for little ones and inspired me to pursue a career in education. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Education this past December and have gained a great deal of experience working with children through my education, classroom experience, and teaching background. I am passionate about creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I am also currently First Aid and CPR certified, and I understand the importance of providing children with attentive and responsible care. Overall, my experiences have strengthened my love for working with children and have prepared me to be a caring, dependable, and responsible babysitter.

Anastacia was terrific with my three kids. She is reliable, came early to our scheduled time. Was very flexible when I asked her if she could stay a little later than expected. I would definitely recommend her for any help you may need. My children had a wonderful time with her. ☺️

I love babysitting! I genuinely enjoy the energy and curiosity children bring to everyday life. There is nothing better than helping a child discover a new hobby or seeing them smile after a fun day of play. I’m attentive, caring, and I’m always willing to learn about them to know how to care for them better 🤍 If any more concerns you can contact me at 9562706188 .

Lina was a standout from the first moment she applied to my sitter post. She is proactive, takes initiative, and is easy to communicate with. My kids felt safe with her and said that they really liked her! After she put the kids to bed, she took the time to tidy up the house and go the extra mile. I look forward to having Lina babysit my kids in the future and I would definitely recommend her for babysitting!

I love being a sitter because I like the idea of helping out the parents when they need help and I love making good experiences for the kids. I have a good enough of experience with kids because I have 2 younger siblings. There was some time where I had to take care of them by myself. I have my certification in cpr so I have learned the best way to help give cpr.

Hi! My name is Valeria, and I'm a responsible, dependable college student who enjoys working with children. While I'm new to paid babysitting, I have several years of experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins. Those experiences have taught me the importance of being patient, organized, attentive, creating a safe environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love spending time with kids by playing games, reading stories, doing crafts, and helping with homework. I am also happy to help to prepare meals and snacks, keep children's play areas tidy, and follow each family's routines and instructions. Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish and am comfortable around family pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children feel safe, happy, and supported while you're away.

Hello everyone, my name is Amadee and I am so excited to be on this site and to get to introduce myself to you all! I am 22 years old and from McAllen, TX and moved to LA a few months ago. I grew up raising my two younger brothers and watching many younger cousins. I just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BBA in Marketing. I have watched kids for the last 8 years with my most recent family being a family of 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy) aged 10 - 4. I have worked at a childcare development center on campus as well during my time in college. I am CPR and First-Aid certified with a clean driving record. I am very anti- screen and iPad as I prefer activities outside, with the hands, or arts and crafts. My favorite things to do with the kids I watch are go on walks in gardens, swim, bake, go to the playground, arts and crafts, and dance parties. I have three families who I routinely babysat for that can provide references on my behalf. I love to be a guide in music and art for your children in addition to helping your child better understand their emotions and feelings. I think meeting children where they are at is extremely important in the relationships you build with them. There is a different way to connect to each child and no way is the same. I look forward to connecting with your children and with you as parents! Thank you so much. <3
