Update: I’m currently available for occasional babysitting. Please message me for availability—I respond quickly! Hi! I’m Mou. I’m a former flight attendant and a pilot-in-training with over 8 years of babysitting experience. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and fluent in five languages. I love working with children and bring a calm, dependable energy to every home. One of my favorite things to do is tell stories through drawings—it sparks so much joy and creativity. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. Most importantly, I’ll care for your little ones like they’re family. Looking forward to connecting!

Cheyanne $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cheyanne! I’m a fun, creative, and loving person who truly enjoys putting a smile on someone’s face. I’ve always had a passion for making people feel supported, seen, and encouraged, no matter what they may be going through. While I was in college, I had the opportunity to serve as a “Big” through Big Brothers Big Sisters. That experience meant a lot to me. It allowed me to build a meaningful bond with my “Little,” offer guidance, and grow as a mentor. It strengthened my love for helping young people and reminded me of the importance of being a positive role model. I’m also a proud aunt to several nieces and nephews, and I’ve been trusted to watch over them throughout the years. Being there for them whether we’re playing, learning, or just spending quality time together has helped shape my understanding of care, patience, and responsibility. My family knows they can depend on me, and that means the world. I’m the kind of person who brings warmth and positivity into everything I do, and I always aim to brighten the day of anyone I meet.
