$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of a three year old. I am 25 years young but have a handful of years of experience taking care of children from 1-17. I’ve gained this experience taking care of/ babysitting my three year old, and 3 younger siblings. My siblings range from 11-21, and I have younger cousins I helped raise as well. I am able to relate with kids because my experience with my siblings have proven to be positive, and growing. I am caring, understanding, and know how to cook amazing food if need be! Caregiver for 2+ years. Most of all I am patient and know how to help sort emotions in a gentle manner/voice.

$20 per hour for 1 child

My goal as a babysitter is to provide a safe, caring, and playful environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love the energy, curiosity, and joy they bring to everyday life. I have cared for and tutored children for much of my life. Growing up with triplet siblings gave me plenty of hands-on experience with toddlers, young children, and preteens, and taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable when caring for multiple children at once. I am comfortable preparing meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, assisting with homework, keeping children entertained, and maintaining their routines. I am also happy to help with light household tasks or errands when needed. I also have experience volunteering and working with children through YMCA Camp Shaver in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, where I participated in a two-year leadership and counselor-in-training program. I am currently completing clinical training in the Mayo Clinic echocardiography program and am looking for part-time childcare opportunities while I finish my program. I am responsible, dependable, and excited to get back into childcare and get to know some wonderful families! Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs! :)

$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Alisha, and I bring over 10 years of babysitting experience to families looking for reliable, caring support. Babysitting has been a meaningful part of my life for years, and I truly enjoy it. I’m especially skilled at managing large families, keeping siblings entertained together while giving each child the attention they need. I love organizing fun activities like crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I’m always happy to help with homework or prepare meals when needed. Parents often describe me as dependable, patient, and creative. Whether it’s a quick evening outing or extended care, I aim to bring peace of mind to every family I work with. My schedule is flexible, and I’m open to providing extended care when available. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your childcare needs!
