Lizbeth $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lizbeth. I have over two years of experience as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic and I’m BLS certified. I currently also work as a Patient Care Technician at a hospital here in Austin, and I’ll be starting school for Surgical Technology soon. Caring for others is truly what I do every day. In pediatrics, I work closely with infants, toddlers, and children of all ages — helping them feel safe, calm, and comfortable. My medical background has trained me to be very attentive, patient, and quick to recognize when a child needs extra support or care. I’m happy to help with: • infant and toddler care • diaper changes and feedings • bedtime routines • meals and snacks • playtime, reading, and homework help • keeping things tidy after activities I’m calm, responsible, and very respectful of your home and your child’s routine. My goal is always for kids to feel comfortable and for parents to feel completely at peace while they’re away. I’m a great fit for: • date nights • evenings after school/daycare • weekend babysitting • families with infants or toddlers • last-minute bookings If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced with children, and medically trained, I’d love to help your family!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elgin, TX

⭐ CPR-trained sitter Hi! I’m a dependable and energetic sitter who genuinely loves working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and engaged. I was a dedicated track athlete all throughout high school, which means I bring patience, responsibility, and a lot of positive energy into every job. I’m very active, so I love playing outside, keeping up with busy kids, and making sure they stay entertained in a healthy way. I also love painting and creative activities, and I enjoy helping kids express themselves through art, crafts, and fun projects—so screen time isn’t the default when I’m around! Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive, organized, and fully present, and I take pride in creating a calm, secure environment where kids can have fun while parents feel completely at ease. I’m also great at following routines, helping with homework, and keeping things running smoothly while you’re away. My goal is not just to “watch” your kids, but to make your life easier and give them a positive, engaging experience every time. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—feel free to reach out anytime!
