Meet Taryn

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! My name is Taryn I’m new to sittercity and I’m an 18 year old Pre-K teacher who loves working with kids. I have experience babysitting my 3, 6 and 10 year old cousins, so I’m comfortable with different age groups, routines, and keeping children safe and entertained. I enjoy doing fun activities like crafts, story time, learning games, and outdoor play. I can also help with meals, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I’m also experienced with pet sitting and caring for animals, including exotic pets. I have cats, a snake, and a gecko, and hamsters so I’m comfortable around a variety of animals and can help with feeding, cleaning, and basic pet care as needed.

I’m very grateful that I have found a babysitter that is truly good with childern. I hired Taryn to watch my 3 childern & they loved her! She came on time, she brung an activity for them to do and she had them in bed on time. She also looked after our dog, making sure he ate and went for a walk. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a gentle, respectful and reliable sitter. She is currently still our baby sitter, and we look forward to continuing working with her in the future. :)
