Sittercity helps Mapleton families find the best nannies

Hello, How are you doing? My name is Eliana, I am 22 years old, with years of experience working with kids. I am artistic, creative, and patient, both in my personal and professional life. I have a big heart for kids no matter their family situation or their emotional and or mental disposition. One of my biggest values is creating a safe place for kids to learn and flourish healthy. I try and have a wholistic approach when working with kids. For example, if a kid throws an object, instead of punishing them I would first observe the situation, seeing where the kid's emotion is. Looking for body queues (clenched fist, frown, tears, etc.). Next, I will say what the boundary is, do some calming exercises (deep breaths), and then ask some questions to understand the why. Kids generally have low emotional tolerance and need to be taught how to cope and problem solve in healthy ways. I also try and encourage curiosity of the the world around them, especially nature.

I’m an experienced babysitter and I’ve watched up to 5 kids at one time of all different ages. I take babysitting very serious and will have high energy and be alert at all times. I love working with kids and will be attentive to their care. Also I make sure to give updates throughout the time their in my care :)

Hi, my name is Alivia. I'm 21 years old & have been in childcare for 5 1/2 yrs. I have had multiple babysitting & nanny jobs. I have worked with ages newborn-12yrs old. I was in a two hour childcare class when I was in high school. So, lots of experience with preparing every meal of the day, driving to/from, outside play, light housework/dishes/cleanup, diaper changes & even home schooling. I have lots to provide & would be happy to share more of it with you; if you're interested let me know & id be happy to answer any questions you might have for me! thanks!

With over five years of babysitting experience, I have had the joy of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. What began at age 16 with a few local families quickly grew through word of mouth, as parents recognized my dedication, reliability, and genuine love for children. I’ve always had a passion for nurturing and supporting kids, and it's a privilege to have a small but meaningful impact on their lives. Their energy, creativity, and joy brighten my days—and I hope to do the same for them. I’m currently pursuing my college degree online and will graduate with a B.S. in Marketing this September.

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!

Hi, my name is Tosha. I have 20+ years of experience with all ages of children. I’ve worked in professional daycares and in home daycares. I’ve watched children at my home and have gone to their homes as well. My most recent experience was caring for 8 children from the ages 6-16. I’ve been with them for a little over 4 years now. For a little over two years I also homeschooled five out of 8 the kids. I do not drive but I do know the citylink bus routes well and ride my bike when possible unless something is in walking distance for me.
