Hi Families! I’m Daisia and my background in Child Development & Family Studies, paired with my hands-on experience with children of all ages-from infants to adolescents-has shaped a genuine love for what I do. I’ve worked with multiples, including twins, and truly enjoy creating a supportive, engaging environment for children to grow and thrive. It would be a pleasure to join your family and team.

Daisia was great! Prompt, communicative, caring, and easygoing. My 2yo daughter got along with her instantly.

Mature and trustworthy babysitter. CPR and First Aid certified, consistently received positive feedback from parents. I have enjoyed working with newborns up 10 years old. I'm looking for a new family to support in caring for their children. I'm a mother of 2 amazing teenagers they are 18 and 24. I garden during my time off, seeing the blooms is very rewarding. This is a reference from Mrs. Stacei bass Marisol has provided care on a regular basis for my 15 month son since he was 8 weeks old. She's incredibly caring and helpful. Marisol spends a lot of time outside with him and keeps his active when indoors. She does not use her phone other than pictures while watching him and is always responsive to my check-in text messages.

On time, engaging and very attentive with our three busy boys.

Hi! My name is Paula, and I have nearly 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns and infants to school-aged children and teenagers. I especially love working with babies and young children. I have experience with early stimulation and age-appropriate activities that support motor, cognitive, and language development. I enjoy teaching through play, including letters, numbers, colors, books, sensory activities, English and Spanish. I also have experience with potty training. I currently work full-time with a wonderful family Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I have cared for their daughter since she was 5 months old, and she is now 2 years and 5 months old. I also occasionally care for another little girl whom I have known since she was 6 months old and is now 4. I will soon begin a bachelor’s degree related to Early Childhood Development, a field that connects directly with what I love doing. I’m looking for additional babysitting opportunities outside my regular work hours, especially evenings and weekends. I’m open to occasional or consistent care if it’s a good fit for both of us. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and also a big animal lover, especially dogs. Please feel free to message me!

Paula is amazing with my 18 month year old. She started working with us when she was 6 months and has been invaluable since. She has helped my daughter crawling and then walking. She is great handling my daughter and German Shepard. She is soo gentle and has soo much patience. keeps her active at all times and constantly challenging her to thrive. She takes her to the library all the time and likes to read. She give me peace of mind and I know when I have to go to work she will be in safe hands.

I absolutely love working with children! I have been babysitting for six years now and have worked with all ages. I am more than willing to keep them entertained, especially when screens are off limits. I love anything creative, and I am also good at cooking if the little ones need a meal. I also love pets and have a dog of my own.
