$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with 4 years experience supporting children of all ages, and I truly love what I do. Families know me as warm, patient, and attentive I’m the kind of sitter who makes kids feel safe, happy, and engaged through play, learning, and gentle structure. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping routines on track, or simply sharing fun activities, I bring kindness, energy, and reliability to every job. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while treating their little ones with the same care I’d want for my own family.
