Hi families! My name is Praises and I’m a responsible sitter with 4 years of babysitting experience. I love engaging kids through creative play, learning activities, and outdoor fun. Safety, patience, and positivity are my top priorities, and I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, or bedtime routines. I’d love to support your family—feel free to reach out!
“Praises was great with my son !!! We really enjoyed having her. She’s very detailed and punctual and very helpful!!! ”
I have worked with children for 20 years as an educator in and out of the classroom. I have worked with families providing childcare for 10 years. I am patient, kind and nurturing. I’m interested in what the kids are interested in doing. This ranges from legos to drawing and anywhere in between. I have worked with children aged from infant to 12 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I take pride in giving parents time off knowing their little ones are well cared for.
“Tamara came through in a pinch; she was punctual, polite, and great with the kids!”
Hello parents, my name is of course Jasiya I am a college freshman currently doing my prerequisites for cardiovascular sonography. I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they have that person to make them feel happy and cared for. I’m responsible and reliable, so parents can trust that I’ll always show up on time and handle everything smoothly. I pay attention to each child’s personality and needs, and I try to create a fun and engaging environment through games, crafts, reading, or just playful conversation. I stay calm and patient no matter what comes up, whether it’s a tantrum, a minor accident, or a disagreement between siblings. Safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure kids feel comfortable and confident exploring and having fun. I communicate openly with parents, sharing updates on how the kids are doing and any important details they should know. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just supervision, I try to be someone kids enjoy spending time with and parents can completely rely on, combining care, fun, and attentiveness in everything I do. I have been babysitting unpaid and paid for many years in various settings. I have babysat in churches, my home, others homes and even in shelters. I also started a business with a couple other friends in a babysitters club kind of way ! I hope all of this has shown that I am the perfect sitter for you, I hope to hear from you soon !
Hi! my name is Meila. I’m currently a junior at SFASU getting my bachelor degree in Social work. I’ve been working in childcare for about 5 years now. I’m currently a Pre-K teacher at merit children’s academy. I have been babysitting my former students for about a year now. I love being around my kiddos, helping them learn, giving them love and watching them grow! Most of my experience are with 4s and up but i am open to any age. I’m a pet lover (dogs) so i am comfortable being around them. I also can do any household work that is needed (:
Lead with love , Serving with purpose. I am grateful to walk in a calling, not just a job. I believe the world becomes better; one tender moment at a time when we lead with compassion, empathy, and love. That is my north star. I’m a technology delivery leader by day and a lifelong servant at heart, I bring the same precision and warmth to a boardroom as I do to a bedtime story. I have cared for little ones who test every boundary (and every snack supply) and for seniors who deserve dignity, laughter, and patient companionship. My service looks like showing up fully, that is, homework help, diaper diplomacy, medication reminders, and the art of making grilled cheese exactly right. I do not just mind your family, I steward them. 😊

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
