Hi! My name is Olivia! I am currently working full-time in corporate sales in Austin, and I'm looking to babysit on evenings and weekends because working with kids has always been something | genuinely love and enjoy. I started babysitting at 15 years old in my church nursery, caring for children ranging from 3 months to 10 years old. Since then, I've worked with multiple families over the years and have also gained experience through roles in kids clubs at gyms, summer camps, and church programs. I have 8+ years of paid childcare experience, have taken multiple CPR courses, and have reliable transportation. I'm responsible, organized, patient, and safety-focused, while also making sure kids feel comfortable, engaged, and have fun. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little
Hi! I’m Zaynah, and I’m currently a homemaker. I offer child care and pet care services. I’ve babysat children in my neighborhood and for family friends, including toddlers and preschoolers. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, park outings, and reading, and can help with light homework or meal prep. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have experience caring for and training dogs. I love taking pets on walks, giving them attention and playtime, and making sure they’re safe and happy. I’m reliable, flexible, and love creating fun, nurturing environments for kids and pets alike.
I have more than 20 years of experience supporting private families as an enrichment nanny, house manager, family assistant, private chef, wellness specialist, and caregiver. My approach is warm, highly attentive, creative, organized, and deeply individualized. I’m often described as a calming presence who brings more ease, beauty, nourishment, play, and connection into a home. My childcare experience spans newborns through teenagers, including caring for multiple children and large families. I’ve cared for five infants simultaneously in a private daycare, supported a six-child household as a live-in nanny, cared for a baby from two to seven months, and mentored teens through challenging life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting neurodivergent and highly sensitive children. I bring an unusually broad enrichment background to childcare. Depending on a child’s age and interests, our days might include storytelling, reading, music, singing, creative arts, nature exploration, cooking, comedy improv, yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, gentle martial arts, movement, emotional-intelligence games, life skills, and plenty of imaginative play. I emphasize confidence, curiosity, emotional regulation, respectful communication, healthy boundaries, resilience, and helping each child feel genuinely seen and understood. I also have extensive household-management experience, including organizing closets, drawers and pantries; creating household systems; scheduling; family logistics; grocery shopping; stocking; laundry; packing; travel planning; inventory management; decluttering; toy rotation; pet care; and maintaining peaceful, functional homes. I’m comfortable with live-in, live-out, rotational, overnight, travel, and estate environments. As a gourmet longevity chef and wellness professional, I prepare beautiful, nutrient-dense meals and have experience with Ayurveda, longevity nutrition, wellness routines, yoga, mindfulness, bodywork, and lymphatic practices. My caregiving experience also extends to older adults and individuals navigating illness, recovery, disability, major surgery, Parkinson’s disease, and end-of-life transitions. These experiences have strengthened my discretion, adaptability, emotional intelligence, judgment, and ability to remain steady during tender or complex circumstances. Ultimately, I see my role as helping the entire household thrive: children feel safe, loved and engaged; parents feel genuinely supported; and the home becomes calmer, he
Hi! My name is Bailey! I am a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee and I’m so excited to start my new job as a pediatric ICU nurse at Dell Children’s Hospital. While in college I spent a year working in the Neonatal ICU, which made me fall in love with caring for infants and children of all ages. My background in nursing has given me tons of hands-on experience, and I’m certified in CPR and first aid, so you can always count on me to keep your little ones safe. I’m great at coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities and believe in the magic of interactive play. I just moved to Austin and am looking for part-time babysitting jobs. I adore kids and would love to share my skills and care with your family. Plus, I love all pets and can dog sit too!
“Very helpful and great communication ”
