$17 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and caring sitter who enjoys working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment. I have experience babysitting family members and teaching children ages 5–9 at my church, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids engaged and active. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs, such as date nights or weekend help, and I’m happy to assist with things like meals, light cleanup, and bedtime routines.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am a caring and compassionate caregiver who truly finds joy in helping others. I always prioritize the needs and comfort of those around me, whether it’s children, adults, or animals. I have a strong sense of empathy that allows me to connect deeply and understand what others need, often before they even say it. I’m especially great with kids — patient, playful, and understanding — and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Helping others in any way I can isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting for well over 10 years, beginning in high school. I have experience with all ages, but the most experience with infant-2 years. I was a teacher in a learning center in the infant room for 2.5 years, have been a nanny for more than 6 families, all but one with an infant at start. I also have helped with my niece and nephews since they were newborns. I am adaptable, a quick learner, and able to multitask effortlessly. I believe that caregivers are a huge part of young children’s lives and can aid or deter development depending on the care given. I believe in teaching emotional regulation, working through big feelings together, and teaching positive morals and values to help young children grow, learn, and become the best versions of themselves.
