Hi! I’m a student at IVC and am a registered behavioral technician for children as a part time job. I love working with children! I love spending time outside, doing art projects, and can tutor!
“Brianna communicated well and provided great care! She is very responsible and dependable.”
Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!
Hello Parents My name is Melisah. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade (2004). I am a middle school PE teacher. I have been a middle school PE teacher for the past 5 years and worked as an elementary PE teacher 3 years prior to that. I enjoy working with kids of all ages, including newborn babies. I am certified in adult, child and baby CPR/First-Aid/AED.
caring person looking to babysit and dont mind animals as well as chores. Can do house work as well.
I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, working at a gymnastics facility, and assisting with special education students during high school. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals or snacks when needed. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to arrive on time and help with school pick-ups, activities, or errands if needed. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing dependable care you can trust.
“McCall has been with us for about 6 months now. She’s one of the sweetest, kind, caring girls we know. She’s great with our girls and pets. Shes never once been late and is available for our date nights as well. I highly recommend her.”

"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!"
