Angelina Hinsdale
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angelina and I am a pre dental student looking to take on some roles for the summer! I strive to be a responsible, patient, and energetic caretaker and I believe in creating an interactive and positive environment for every child I am with! Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or maintaining routines, I am dependable and attentive to each child’s needs. As someone who is highly organized and detail-oriented, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and trust when caring for children. I am also calm under pressure and able to adapt to different personalities and situations with patience and kindness. My goal is always to make sure children are not only cared for, but genuinely enjoy their time while parents feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive care for your family.

Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development. I'm looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities where I can provide nurturing, reliable care while creating a safe space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.

Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January.
