Find a babysitter in Sloan, NV

Hello, I am Mainou(My-new) and originally from Minnesota. I mostly just babysit when I’m free and can fit it in. Been on hiatus on urban sitter for awhile but super excited that I can finally do this again. I come from a BIG family and as one of the older kids I definitely have a lot of experience taking care of the young ones from my teenage to my Aunty years. Also assisted my mother during her daycare years.

My name is Kimberley, I am Australian born, have been a resident of Las Vegas since 1998, (I am now 54yrs of age) I am a trained dancer (classical, jazz, tap, contemporary styles) As a teenager, I used to babysit my neighbors young children every afternoon after school. I also trained as a fitness instructor and a beach lifeguard in my early years so CPR is another training I have participated in. At the age of 18, I traveled the world working in cabaret shows, in 1992 met my husband (a singer) and we produced shows to tour both Australia and the USA for the past 31yrs. I am great with kids of all ages, I owned a performing arts studio in Australia for 4yrs where I taught children to dance and model. I am a creative person, I create all costumes for our shows, I love art, drawing & painting for fun, I also excel at graphic design work and enjoy photography and filming events. As a Virgo, I am particular and love a clean, orderly environment. Experience in this field of a sitter; * My family has always had pets (so yes, I can take care of animals) * Performing Arts Studio Owner (teaching children ages 5 - 16yrs) * I have 4 step grandchildren ages 2 - 17yrs * Child minding - friends and family children since I was a teenager * Aged care; my husband died of pancreatic cancer 2 yrs ago and I cared for him at home during his sickness until he passed in 2023. My Grandma is 104 and when I am in Australia I care for her as she is now blind. I hope my brief outline above explains my past 54yrs of life. I am starting a new chapter of my life as a young widow so I just hope that I can be of service to you for your children, aging parents or fur children, I like to laugh and see people smiling, I like to think of myself as a bright light who makes the most out of any situation. Best Regards, Kimberley

Hi! I’m a senior at Faith Lutheran High School and a student-athlete on the track team. I’m responsible, patient, and great with kids of all ages. I’ve helped care for younger family members for years, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and entertained. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, following routines, and keeping the house tidy. I bring a positive attitude, good communication, and a calm, dependable presence. I’d love the chance to help your family and provide reliable, caring support whenever you need it.

I have been employed as a preschool teacher for just over a year now. I love what I do and working with children fulfills me in a way I had never experienced before, however as I approach my third trimester, the full time schedule has been rough on my body. I am CPR certified and have experience with children aged between 10 months and 4 years. I focus on developing creative and emotional skills with any child I work with. This includes sensory activities and art, especially in younger children. These can help foster positive thought processes when used appropriately. As far as discipline, I feel deeper action is the responsibility of the parent though as a childcare provider there are times I may need to act to protect a child. I would never approach these situations with a physical solution but rather through redirection and open communication. A moment to calm their bodies either on their own or through guided breathes when possible can bring an independence to their emotional awareness and build trust between the child and myself. As for pet care, I have owned cats independently my entire adult life. Caring for cats with different temperaments and personalities. I’ve always had a love for them and as a high schooler I had even volunteered at a cat hospital mostly providing company to help them adjust socially as I wasn’t yet of age to provide heavier care. I am capable of providing my own transportation within the city of Las Vegas and pride myself on reliability.

Caring for children has been a big part of my life for years, especially babies and young children. Much of my experience comes from helping care for my two younger brothers throughout their childhoods, as well as babysitting relatives and family friends. These experiences helped me build strong skills with routines, emotional support, and everyday childcare needs. I take a patient, caring approach and focus on helping children feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I also worked as a student aide for special needs students during high school, which taught me adaptability, compassion, and how to support each child’s unique needs. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college to study Social Work. I currently work with a family caring for their twins, but I mainly look for one-time, date-night, weekend, and as-needed babysitting opportunities. I have reliable transportation through family support and rideshare services and am working toward getting my driver’s license. I’m also happy to help with homework and light child-related housekeeping. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in the children and families I work with. Feel free to ask any questions; I’d love to talk! 💛
