Find a babysitter in Austin, TX

Hi all! I am a native austinite who just recently moved back to the area. I have been babysitting/ nannying off and on since I was a teenager. I love taking care of children; specifically getting to know their different personalities, likes, and dislikes, and encouraging their imagination as much as possible. Please feel free to ask me any questions! Thank you! : ) ***CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING REQUESTS AT THIS TIME***

Hi - My name is Kara! I’m 29 years old and I've been working with kids since I was 16 and absolutely love it. I’ve been in a nanny-share since 2021 and just recently said goodbye to my little ones who started preschool. I took care of them since they were three months old and now they are two and half years old. I’m now in a new nanny-share and taking care of a four month old and a five month old. I love being a nanny but recently have missed the babysitting experience. I love coloring, puzzles, playing pretend, and watching Disney movies with the kiddos. * at this time I’m currently not taking on any new families.

Hi! I’m Erica, a UT Austin graduate with a degree in education and over six years of babysitting experience. I taught for a year and now work in educational technology sales, where I continue supporting educators and teachers. My experience includes three years in an after-school program, working with children from Pre-K through sixth grade. I also serve in my church’s student ministry with middle and high school students and occasionally help with infants through fifth grade. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun art activities, and getting to know each child’s interests. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

Hi there! I’m a responsible, caring sitter with experience babysitting throughout college and a genuine love for working with kids. I hold an undergraduate degree in elementary education and originally began my career in teaching, but made a career shift about 5 years ago and transitioned into the corporate world. I currently work full-time, but I’m available for date nights, evenings, and weekends and do my best to be flexible when I can. My background in education gives me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and engagement—whether that’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, or supporting consistent routines. Parents can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. I’m excited to reconnect with babysitting families and provide trustworthy care whenever you need an extra set of hands!

Hi I’m Ezra! Taking care of little ones (whether they have 2 feet or 4 paws) has been a joy of mine since I was a teenager. I always volunteered to watch my teachers kids after school/during the summer and I eventually was asked to do more and get paid for it as well! This included pet and house sitting for extended periods of time/during long vacations. My love for caring comes from I my experience with my 4 nieces and nephews (2 of each) and they range in age from kindergartener to college sophomore. I helped my sister raise/co-parent my youngest niece and nephew while she was going through a tough time and it really opened my eyes and my heart to wanting to continue caring for others in any way possible! I’m an Early Childhood Educator and after school art teacher so I have all my proper licensing through both the state of Texas and Austin ISD and have passed several rounds of background checks; first aid training; and adult, child, and infant BLS + CPR certifications. During the school day my focus is on preparing kiddos (ages 6 weeks-5 years) for elementary school through a play-based curriculum with a focus on social-emotional learning and self-regulation. At my after school job we focus on helping kids be Creative Artists, Critical Thinkers, Confident Leaders and Courageous Allies in the 21st century through various arts curricula so I have a ton of arts and crafts activities in the back of my pocket suitable for ages 1-101! I love being able to bring creativity to children and helping them explore what they are most drawn to while also empowering them to be the leaders of our future. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I’d be more than happy to answer them ASAP!
