Booked by 14 families in Lago Vista, TX

Hi, my name is Betsy. I started by taking care of my cousins and watching over them. Over time I started to take care of more children and take this more seriously. I’ve worked with various families over the years, and kids of all ages. From one time occasional, to part time. I love to interact with the kids and enjoy the outdoors. I love to draw and read with them. In my free time I like to cook and do crossword puzzles! - CPR certified

“We had a wonderful experience! She was punctual, friendly, and absolutely great with our kids. She followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond what we asked. It gave us peace of mind knowing our kids were in such good hands. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Hello! My name is Allyssa! I have been a childcare provider for over twelve years. I am currently available to provide care on weeknights and weekends as well as holidays. At this time I’m not able to care for sick children. A little about my childcare related work history: I began working at my local church nursery, and then helped with the “twos” class, AWANA, and the morning “twos -kinder” Sunday school class. I have been a swim instructor at the YMCA, volunteered at a camp for children with cancer (survivor and former camper myself,) and I have been tutoring college students for the past three years and more recently k-12 in the past two years. I have worked with children ages 3mons-14year. I have held positions with several families as a nanny during school breaks and most recently worked helping with distance learning for a family prior to leaving for a full time position in my area of study when the kids returned to in person learning! If you have any other questions please ask! I’d love to share and appreciate the chance to get to know you and your family a little better! Thank you for considering me! Policies: I do not spank. I defer to the family for other forms of discipline. ***Late return fee*** If parents return more than 15 minutes late,rate is time an a half for the time beyond the scheduled return home. FOR SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN - I WILL NOT RELEASE THE CHILDREN TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE PERSONS WHO HIRED ME WITHOUT NOTICE AHEAD OF THE START TIME AND A COPY OF THE DRIVERS LICENSE OF THE PERSONS I AM RELEASING THE CHILD(REN) TO. Cancelation fee of parents - More than 48 hours notice, no fee. Less than 48 hours 25% of booking. Within 24 hours 50% of booking. Within 8 hours 100% of booking fee.

Bella $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bella and I’ve been babysitting since I was 16. I have several years of experience caring for children and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and am happy to drive children to and from school, activities, or playdates. I can help with homework as needed. I’m also comfortable taking care of pets (especially dogs!) and can help with light housework or tidying up as needed as well as running errands. Currently, I’m doing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available when families need me most. I’d be honored to support your family and create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your child. Looking forward to meeting your family and seeing how I can help!
