Booked by 5 families in Oklahoma City, OK

Hello! My name is Erin, and I am a friendly, attentive, organized and caring 35 year old in OKC looking for temporary/occasional/part-time sitting work. I have babysat and worked with kids in many of my past jobs, and am currently in the process of getting my certification to become an Art Teacher! I have always been very creative, and majored in Fine Art in college. I’m looking forward to being able to use my creative skills more again soon, and to be able to share the joy that art brings me with students in Oklahoma. I have also previously worked with dogs (doing training then as a manager at a dog park) and have 3 pups of my own. I love all dogs, and make it my mission to win over every single one I meet. In my free time I love to travel, cheer on the OKC Thunder and spend time with loved ones. Lastly, I’m very familiar with the OKC Metro and surrounding areas, and enjoy being out and about running errands etc., if ever needed as well. Housework, transporting kiddos places, homework help, pet care, cooking, laundry… I got you. I’d be delighted to meet and see how I can help your family out today! - Erin

Erin is amazing! Highly recommend- she has a gift for organizing - is very timely and professional.

Sydney Oklahoma City
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My Name is Syd, and I look forward to taking care of your loved one! I am currently a student at OCCC studying biology, but I will soon be transferring to OU. My experience in childcare includes babysitting, coaching soccer for ages 2-5, substitute teaching for elementary middle school, and helping with summer camps like VBS. I hold myself to a high standard of responsibility but love making sure that the little ones are having a blast with crafts, games, and lots of exercise! (Dance parties are a personal favorite.) When I was 13, my first job was a stable hand, which involved caring for many different animals. I’ve also had plenty of pets in my lifetime, some of which have had special health issues like diabetes, collapsed tracheas, cancers and skin disorders, so I have no issues caring for special needs animals. I am a very experienced cook and enjoy keeping a house tidy. As a vegetarian, I understand the importance of paying close attention to specific dietary needs, but cooking meat products is no problem and something I do often.

Hi i’m Emma and I have been babysitting for about 5 years off and on. I was most recently a developmental gymnastics coach for ages 19 months through 12 years! My most recent babysitting job was caring for 3 year old twin boys! I love working with kids and their safety and development is my number one priority! I am currently a student at The University of Oklahoma majoring in marketing. I tend to do really great with toddler/kid age(1-5years) and I find it super easy to bond with the kiddos!
