Simona $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Simona; I’m from Argentina, but currently living in Tahoe on a J-1 visa. I work as a ski instructor, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and clear communication especially with children. I’m a responsible, caring, and friendly babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and always focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to help your family and be someone you can count on! ❤️

Emma $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently looking for part-time babysitting work. I have a patchwork of experience, working with children from infancy to high-school aged. Most of that comes from working in childcare centers with children 0-4 years old and in after school programs. I have a degree in botany, and I love love love using outdoor spaces to let children explore and develop. While I have a variety of childhood development and psychology courses in my background, I am also continuing my early childhood development education so that I can plan activities to do with children that best fits their age and needs. My ideal care includes a lot of play and hands-on activities. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your family! Emma

Booked by 29 families in Carson City, NV

Hi, my name is Amanda. I’ve been a professional nanny over 10 years. I have taken many early childhood education courses, including the child psychology, health safety and nutrition, practices and principles of teaching young children, child and adolescent growth and development, child family and community, introduction to curriculum, and teaching in a diverse society. I started baby sitting when I was 16, and have always loved working with children. I am very patient, and have experience with developmentally appropriate activities and positive child guidance. If you choose, I can bring crafts and other activities such as story time with felt boards depending on your child's interest. I am also a great date night sitter. I live in Reno, but I’m open to travel up to South lake I do charge a flat rate travel fee to cover gas. Thank you for taking the time to consider me.

“Amanda took excellent care of our 8 month old son. We were visiting Reno and gone for the evening for a wedding. Amanda brought some children books to read, and communicated with us promptly when our baby was refusing his bottle of breastmilk. She managed to get him to drink some formula, and easily put him to sleep when it was bedtime. Highly recommend Amanda!”

Booked by 13 families in Carson City, NV

I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.

Jasmine 2 reviews
$31 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Carson City, NV

Hi there, my name is Jasmine! I have always loved taking care of kids by making them feel comfortable and stay safe while their parents are away. I want to be a mom one day as I value creating an environment for children to learn and grow. I am currently a student-athlete at the University of Nevada, Reno where I have had the opportunity to volunteer with Girls on the Run and at a couple of local elementary schools. As an active member in college athletics and 5+ years of babysitting experience, I embody responsibility and have already made the commitment to put your kids first. I look forward to connecting!

“Jasmine is awesome and I really hope to hire her again. She instantly bonded with my kids, kept them happy, fed, clean, entertained (on a rainy day!), and tidied up with them after playing and meals. She handled nap time like a pro and was entirely self sufficient. Highly recommend!!”

"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!"
