I’m 59, a non smoker, CPR and first aid certified, plus I am a Mom myself. I started babysitting again about 5 years ago. I missed having children in my life, especially since my son doesn’t have children of his own. I am now a regular sitter for multiple families here in Salt Lake. I have been with some of them for several years. They would be happy to provide references. I love to color with children and do arts and crafts. I like all kinds of board games. If you need meal preparation, I'm an excellent cook. I have a Chihuahua of my own so I am animal friendly. I even have experience caring for bearded dragons!

As of August 2026, I have no availability for childcare services due to my teaching job and other commitments. Should my availability change, I will update this message.

Jessica was wonderful. Our son had a great time and was in very good hands.

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.

Hi! My name is Josie! I am currently a student at the University of Utah living in SLC! I am 20 years old with over five years of babysitting experience. I am fun, responsible, and reliable with an open and flexible schedule to care for your little ones! I am more than happy to provide transportation to and from your child’s activities, homework help, meal preparation, and even pet care if needed. I am also CPR certified. I look forward to working with you!

Josie is truly amazing with both our infant and toddler! She’s gentle, patient, and incredibly nurturing. From bottle-feeding and diaper changes to engaging our toddler with play and stories, she handles everything with care and confidence. Both kids are always calm and happy when she’s around. She follows our routines perfectly and keeps us updated while we’re out, which gives us so much peace of mind. Josie is reliable, responsible, and clearly experienced with little ones. We’re so grateful to have her and highly recommend her to any family looking for loving, trustworthy childcare for young children.

Hello! I'm currently working as a pediatric ultrasound tech. My current work schedule is 7 days on/7 off, so I'm available for occasional weekdays or weekends during my off weeks. I’ve spent most of my caring for children (ranging from newborn to 15y/o) in a variety of settings, whether it's within my family, helping neighbors with childcare, or at Montessori schools. Over the past few years as a sonographer, I've spent time extensive time working in the pediatric and NICU departments. I can also help with any school work, meal prep, light household tasks, or pet care. Feel free to message me if you have a date in mind. Or if your dates are flexible, we can coordinate to find an available day. - Fully vaccinated and boosted - CPR Certified
