I am currently 22, and I have been babysitting since I was 12. I have had a consistent childcare job(daycare, nannying) for the past few years.

I love getting outside with kids and doing art projects as well!

My husband and I have four children and six grandchildren! We believe that children are a gift from God, so nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's something I genuinely love to do! With 30 years of experience caring for children aged 0-17, I find immense joy in fostering their growth and development. My approach is patient, kind, and gentle, creating a safe and supportive environment for your little one. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide regular updates on your child's day through texts or phone calls, if desired, in addition to verbal communication at pickup. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am First Aid and CPR certified as of December 13th, 2025. I am happy to help with carpooling and light housekeeping, and would love to babysit so you the parent/parents can get a day/night off. It would be my pleasure to support your family and provide a reliable childcare option for you.

Hi there, I'm Chloe! I hope to provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for your little ones. I have about a year and a half of professional experience in childcare. I have cared for my niece and nephews regularly from birth through childhood as well. I am a Medical Assistant so I am certified in CPR and have first aid training. I believe my clinical experience caring for adults, babies, children, and seniors has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and responsive. Currently, I am taking a step back from clinical work so I can go to school for nursing. I’m absolutely thrilled at this opportunity to get back into childcare! I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your household guidelines and communication preferences. I enjoy crafts, outdoor adventures, and can assist with light housekeeping, errands, and travel. I love cooking so I’d be more than happy to help out with meal prep, packing lunches, and providing snacks. I’m experienced with cooking vegan and vegetarian options if needed. I have a car with a valid license and insurance so I can assist with any transportation that may be required. I love animals of all kinds and sizes so I am more than comfortable if you have pets! Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you and your family! :)

I am 26 year old bilingual nurse aspiring to obtain her DNP. Ive been around kids all of my life since I come from a very big family.

I have experience with teens and pre-teens for about 4 years . I am experienced in helping out with homework from English , math, science and even art projects.

I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

I am a recent High School graduate and I am looking to earn money to pay for college. I have a really big family and because of that, I have been around kids for a long time. I have babysat for friends and families members, and at my church.

Hi, I’m Arianne. I’ve been a nanny for 12 years. I have Nannie’s all ages from infancy-pre teen. I tend to stay in long term positions if it’s the right fit. The last two families I have worked for have been long term. I was with my last family for 5 years and I still continue to do babysitting gigs for them when needed. They have 6 kids but I primarily cared for the 3 youngest (8,5, and 1). I have been with my current family for 2 years. They have 3 kids (8, 6, and 3) The youngest, I believe, will start preschool in the fall, so I’m putting feelers out for a new position. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time and just in case values are extremely different. 1. I have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need 40 guaranteed hours and sick pay. If for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver.

With that I am only available for date night care. I am the oldest of 4 kids with all of many different ages (22,13 and 12). Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom.

For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen.

Hello families! My name is Hayley, I am 23 years old, and I am a fun, patient, and engaging, and experienced babysitter! I have been working in a professional childcare setting as a preschool teacher for 5 years now and have been babysitting on the side for 5 months now. . I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am currently taking classes to get my AA in early childhood education. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, reading, and going on outings. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to.

hi there :) My name is Gianna. I carry 12 years of experience working with kids of all ages (toddlers through high school). I'm going to include my bio below, but please feel free to ask me any questions. I hope you are able to find the perfect sitter for you, and I would be honored to be the one to put your trust in the right hands. ~~~ For as long as I can remember, I have been skillful at and genuinely enjoyed connecting with kids and looking after them. I value being a safe space for others. It's my goal and specialty when working with kids to create an environment where everyone feels cared for, heard, seen, and at ease. I've worked as a teacher in school settings, babysitter, nanny, private tutor, youth dance instructor, and also a pet (and plant!) sitter. One of my favorite jobs was being an arts & sciences exploratory instructor for elementary school kids from 2019-2020. I have a history of knowing how to enter a room and be a source of positive energy for those who need care. My priority is making sure that I'm providing the care you're looking for and making sure that your kids, home, and/ or pets are in the best hands. This world can be a chaotic place, so it's always my pleasure to bring help and peace of mind. I am highly empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. I respect all people, all backgrounds and circumstances etc. - I believe in honoring all beings with love and compassion, period. I'm also equipped at working with kids who are neurodivergent (ex: ADHD, sensory processing concerns, dyslexia, etc.), as I have lived experience in this department, so it's helped me become excellent at communication and aid to others on the spectrum who relate. I'm fortunate to have never lost that sense of wonder and imagination from childhood, so I'm great at keeping kids entertained and engaged for hours on end. I'm good at making up games on the spot, and even throwing in some educational aspects of it. I believe in making learning fun, but of course safe as well. I'm good at conflict resolving if things arise, and am proud to say I'm a reliable communicator. I enjoy making those who I'm working for feel like they can count on me to be responsive and transparent at all times. Have a beautiful day and take care, -Gianna
