I have been caring for children including my own even before Care & Sitter came around. I cared and sat for many children starting from 3 months to 6 year old. I take my services very seriously and I care for children with professionalism. If you are looking for someone who has a lot of patience and dedication looking after your loved ones please know that they will be in the right hands

We had a wonderful experience with Yulissa! She was punctual, very communicative, and immediately engaged with our 5 year old son when she arrived. He felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely loved spending time with her! She was very kind, attentive, helped with my son’s bedtime, and kept us updated throughout the night. I would highly recommend Yulissa to any one and would absolutely love to have her babysit for us again!

Hi! I have over 13 years of childcare experience and currently work with infants ages 3 to 18 months. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me support children’s growth and development in a nurturing and engaging way. I’m warm, patient, love creating a safe and caring environment where little ones can thrive. I love to cuddle but also believe exploring is an important part of development.

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.

Hello all, I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs. I am realiable, punctual, and I absolutely love children. I have been a sitter for 10+ years. I have experience with all age groups, but typically sitter for families with infants/ toddlers. If you have questions, or need any addition information, please feel free to ask. :) Hope to hear from you soon.

What a delight! Mariela was early, enthusiastic, and professional. So glad she was able to help us!

"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!"
