Hi families! My name is Kaylee, I’m 22 years old and ready to be your family’s trusted babysitter! I am currently working a full time office job, but would love to find a family where I can be your consistent or reoccurring date night babysitter! I am a recent college graduate and during my college years I was a nanny for many different families and did countless babysitting gigs. I have over 7 years of paid childcare experience and have worked with children ranging from a few weeks old to pre teens. My absolute favorite part of being a babysitter is coming in and having fun with the kids while the parents are out! While still being extremely responsible, I love being able to just have fun, play games, and make memories with the kids so that they love when babysitters come! I am very responsible, caring, nurturing, and supportive and willing to step in and help in any way I can! I have a big heart for children and have absolutely loved being a nanny/ babysitter and being able to lend a happy hand to families! If you are looking for an occasion babysitter, I am more than happy to chat and provide more about myself, my abilities, and experiences! Thank you!!🩷

“Kaylee was great with my two girls! Already planning the next time she’ll come over! ”

I've been working with children since I was a child myself, by way of volunteering with my younger sister who has Down Syndrome. This volunteering sparked an interest in me and I have continued on to long term nannying for a few families and I currently work as a behavioral interventionist for children on the spectrum for a large nonprofit. IMPORTANT- I do have a severe peanut allergy so please do not book me if your child is inconsolable without a PB&J or if it is unavoidable in your home.

“Ana was great! Very intuitive and our girls loved her. We would definitely use Ana again! Thank you. ”

I am a retired early childhood teacher with 25+ years of Elementary School teaching. I love children so I immediately try to establish rapport with them no matter what age. I bring books, toys and games that are age appropriate and will keep your child happy and engaged. I have 3 teenage grandsons so I have experience dealing with all ages. Unfortunately, they are in New York so I treasure getting to know new families.

“Lisa is fantastic. She arrived early, brought a bunch of fun toys, and immediately had our daughter entertained. We feel lucky to have found someone as great as Lisa. ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
