$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'd be happy to be your occasional date-night sitter! I've been babysitting for 14 yrs, and I'm very friendly, fun, trustworthy, and dependable. Prior to babysitting I was a flight attendant for 28 yrs, and each yr I had 2 days of emergency requalification, including CPR/First Aid. I enjoy playing with kids indoors and out, helping them to learn, and reading to them. I've been the 1st-time non-family sitter for most of the families I've worked for, and children feel comfortable with me really quickly. I work on call, weekday and weekend evenings from 5 pm - 2 am, 20/hr for one child and $25/hr for two children, with a 4 hr min. I take cash or check only. Short notice jobs are welcome; as long as I haven't already made plans I may be available within 3-4 hrs. I have twenty-eight 5-star reviews from two other babysitting sites, as well as a great written reference from parents whose son I took care of from 1 - 4.5 yrs-old before they moved to Europe, and I still work for them every Summer when they return to this area; I'd be happy to send you those reviews and reference. Thanks so much for reading my profile!

Julianna Mansfield
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julianna, and I’m 18 with lots of experience caring for children and older adults through babysitting, work, church, and helping with family. I’m comfortable with all ages from infants to teens (and elder care! I worked as a caregiver) . I love doing crafts, playing games, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged and having fun. I am CPR and First Aid certified and currently training to become an EMT, so I’m very comfortable staying calm and handling emergencies if needed. I also have intermediate Spanish skills, which can be helpful for communication with some families. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I always make sure kids feel safe and cared for. I’m available most evenings and nights, including overnight babysitting if needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
