Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

Nurturing young minds is my passion. For 20 years, I've dedicated myself to providing enriching childcare experiences. My graduate degree, combined with Early Child Development coursework, has equipped me with the knowledge to support each child's unique growth. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps. I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, including verbal updates and texts. Knowing I can positively impact your child's life and provide reliable support for your family is why I love what I do. I can comfortably care for three children and would love to bring my patient, creative, and friendly approach to your family. ***** I take Zelle for payment*****

My name is Brooklyn; I moved to Texas from out of state. I am currently an accounting manager for a nonprofit. I am available for after-work and weekend childcare. While living in San Diego, CA, I babysat for several families. I did after-school pickup and drop off at sports for two siblings for one family, and then I did weekend babysitting for another family with two siblings. In addition to babysitting, I assisted in teaching summer dance and cheer programs for three years, I took a couple of child development classes in high school and college, volunteered to help a preschool class a few times a year at the preschool my mother worked at, and nannied a 1-year-old for a year. I also help my sister with her 6 year old twins. I have extensive knowledge of everything Disney does, know a bit about sports, and am up-to-date on kids' shows. I'm fun and energetic and love to be active and engaging. *For pet owners, please inform me if you have a cat. I am deathly allergic.*

Brooklyn was great we look forward to having her again!

Hi my names Aaniyah. I’m currently pursuing my degree in nursing, and I’m certified in CPR/AED. Im bilingual (english/spanish) and have hands-on experience caring for babies, kids, and pets. I’m also happy to help with light housework when needed. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, which is why I’ve chosen a career path in nursing. I also love being able to teach and inspire kids. Growing up, I developed a true love for learning, and I’d love to share that by helping children explore new things, encouraging curiosity, and even taking them on fun little adventures. My goal is to not only provide safe care but also create positive, engaging experiences for the kids I work with.
