Lucy $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I have experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, and I love making people’s lives easier. I worked over 2 years in a senior living facility, plus babysitting and pet care for families in my community. I’m reliable, patient, caring, and I enjoy helping with daily routines, activities, and companionship. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide dependable care!
Kandace $20 per hour for 1 child
As fourth of eight kids, chaos and childcare have always been second nature. I grew up babysitting all over my neighborhood and never really stopped. These days, working in a K–12 school keeps the kid-wrangling skills sharp, and being the favorite aunt of 12 adds plenty of fun to the mix. Happy to bring energy, patience, and laughter to your crew!

Booked by 1 family in American Fork, UT
Hi - My name is Ashlyn! I am a young working professional living in Highland, UT. I’m originally from AZ and moved to UT at the beginning of 2024. I have been babysitting for 10+ years and have experience with a wide range of children and families, from infants to 14 years old (even twins)! I am more than happy to help with light housework, organizing, laundry, cooking/meal prep, driving kids to extracurriculars, running errands, and homework! In my free time, I enjoy crafting, baking, reading & hiking with my dog! I look forward to meeting you & your family! 🩷
Ella $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Ella! I’ve loved working with kids from a young age, starting with babysitting and nannying for families. I then spent four years coaching youth rock climbing, where I became Head Coach and Assistant Programs Manager. I have experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including children with autism and other unique needs. I’m CPR certified, patient, responsible, and love being creative. I enjoy planning outdoor adventures and creating a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where every child feels supported. I’m currently in school studying Exercise Science and Nutrition, and I’m looking for a flexible opportunity to help families. I’m also happy to help with household errands, housesitting, and other tasks to make life a little easier! One thing to note is that I’m allergic to cats.

Booked by 1 family in American Fork, UT
I loved babysitting growing up and have always enjoyed spending time with children. Over the past year, I worked at a school for children with autism spectrum disorder, where I developed strong attentiveness, patience, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to each child's individual needs.
