Madison $17 per hour for 1 child

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! 💛

Booked by 1 family in The Lakes, NV

Some qualities that make me a great caregiver are my empathy and compassion. I understand the needs and emotions of those under my care. I also exhibit patience when dealing with children, seniors, or individuals with varying needs. Being patient allows me to handle challenging situations with understanding and composure. I am flexible and adaptable, capable of adjusting plans and approaches based on the evolving needs of the individuals I care for. I am also trustworthy which is necessary, because Individuals under my care and their families need to have confidence in my abilities and integrity. I also maintain a good physical stamina which ensures that I can meet the demands of the job without compromising my well-being. I am also very big on respect, it is my job to recognize and uphold the individual's rights and treats them with the utmost respect. I am currently a law student, and prior to my law career I worked as an educator for special needs students of various ages.

“Kerriann was on time and very friendly. I would highly recommend her and definitely have her babysit again.”

Alyssa $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in The Lakes, NV

I babysat consistently all throughout Jr high and high-school, for multiple families, multiple children. In college one semester I quit my classes & spent my time tutoring children at the Boys and Girls Club nearly full time. I am a mature woman, VERY fun & creative, a great story teller & also VERY responsible. I also LOVE pets - cats & dogs & have house sat & cared for pets (& plants!) On many occasions. I currently have 3 cats but have had as many as 5 at one point. I thrive on chaos rather than letting it get to me.
