Find a babysitter in Henefer, UT

Hi, my name is Caleigh and I'm currently a student at the University of Utah. I am offering childcare and pet care. I come from a small town in Colorado where I have been babysitting since I was 11. I got my Red Cross certificate in 2017 and began babysitting right after. I babysat my sister before my parents trusted her alone, and then I moved to babysitting for teachers and my mom's friends (ages 4-10). I have three cousins in my family (ages 5, 4, and 2) and have been babysitting them since they were very little. I have babysat children of all ages, including one family with a 3 year old and 5 month old (dealt with a diaper blowout). I also have a puppy at home for whom I have cared for and I have experience in house sitting with two dogs for a week straight. I also have experience in cat sitting while a family spent 10 days in Florida, I took care of their two cats. I would describe myself as a creative person, with an imagination to fulfill toddlers dreams and games. I am funny and comforting, and can calm children down who may feel distressed being with someone new. I am very friendly and am very comfortable speaking with adults to figure out what the child/pet needs and how to continue their routine. I am very kind and patient and will sit through whatever I need to in order for a child/pet to feel most comfortable with me and/or the absence of their parents. I can drive and have a truck with a full size back seat for car seats. I am artistic, with lots of experience in drawing and writing and love to explore the creative side of children. I ski and love camping and rafting and outdoor adventures. I adore children and love spending time with them, learning about their interests and wildest dreams.

I worked at a daycare for about 6 months, and those were some of the best months of my life! I am able to work under stress well, and follow directions. I am the oldest of 6 siblings! Being able to provide a safe space for your children is my highest priority! I am most comfortable with infants and babies. I'm patient and kind, and open communication is very important to me!

I am dependable, patient, and caring, with experience working as a nanny and a lead CNA. My nursing education has taught me how to stay calm, pay close attention to safety, and respond responsibly when unexpected situations arise. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and making sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I’m responsible, organized, and able to follow each family’s routines and instructions closely. I’m comfortable helping with playtime, meals, naps, homework, and bedtime routines. I also speak both English and Spanish. Most importantly, parents can trust that I will treat their children with kindness, patience, and care.

I grew up taking care of my little brother who is on the autism spectrum. I’ve lived with and bred both dogs and cats, so I know my way around taking care of them.

Currently a sophomore at the University of Utah, studying English. I’m the oldest daughter of 5 kids and I love working with and caring for kids! I’ve been babysitting on and off since 11. And more recently have done some house sitting. I can cook, drive, and handle other tasks. I strive to be clean, detail oriented, honest, and kind :)
