Karina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, or simply being a positive and attentive presence, I always strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I prioritize safety and communication with both kids and parents, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your little ones. When I’m not babysitting, I enjoy going for walks, exploring Austin, painting and crafts, and I love bringing that creativity and energy into the time I spend with children. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your child’s happiness and well-being!

Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child

Caring for others has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s looking after kids, helping seniors feel supported, or making sure pets feel loved, I believe everyone deserves kindness and patience. I’m dependable, attentive, and great at creating a warm, safe environment. I also enjoy keeping things organized, preparing meals, cleaning, and making daily life a little easier. Most of all, I love building real connections and making people feel valued, comfortable, and cared for.

"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!"
