Find a babysitter in Austin, TX

I have a lifelong affinity for children, and have focused my career on providing safe and nurturing environments for them. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.

With over a decade of experience in caregiving, I have honed my skills and passion for providing exceptional care to individuals of all ages. My extensive background includes babysitting for a wide age range, from infants to 13-year-olds, in local neighborhoods. As a devoted Sunday School teacher for five years at Friendship Church, I've not only imparted knowledge but also fostered a safe and nurturing environment for young minds. Through mentoring and teaching toddlers, I diligently followed safety protocols and health guidelines, ensuring their well-being at all times. Moreover, my role as a medical attendant for a student with cerebral palsy has equipped me with the expertise to administer medications and offer comprehensive day-to-day assistance. My dedication to ensuring the safety and comfort of both children and animals is unwavering, as demonstrated through my experience in caring for dogs and cats. I am committed to creating an environment where children and animals can thrive, emphasizing their safety and individuality. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my completion of children safety courses at Texas A&M Agrilife. These courses cover critical topics such as SIDS prevention, food allergy management, infection control, medication administration, and safety guidelines. Above all, my love for children, respect for their development and education, and my inherent sense of responsibility make me a dedicated and compassionate caregiver.

Hello! My name is Raquel. I have experience working for families with three and one child, between seven months and four years. I love working with kids and I am very patient and sweet with them. I enjoy playing and performing indoor and outdoor activities. I am a Spanish speaker, so that I can teach them.

Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.
