Find an emergency babysitter in Dripping Springs, TX

Hello! My name is Emily. I am a pediatric speech therapist. I love children and have worked with kids of all ages throughout my life in varying roles from nanny to therapist. I decided to become a sitter because in therapy, my time working with a child was typically limited to a 30-minute timeframe; additionally, more of my time was spent writing lengthy justifications for insurance companies than working with the child. The reason I chose to work with children is that I enjoy them! And I want to spend time with them, engaging them on all levels. I was a single parent (until my daughter was 10 years of age) before meeting my amazing husband who I've now been married to for 24 years! Although we have become empty-nesters, I remember the challenges that come with parenting, and I have extreme gratitude for those who supported me through the years with their time, love, and encouragement. P.S. I now have a grandson and granddaughter who are the apples of my eye (I promise, it is the best role ever)! From my early years of caring for younger siblings and/or cousins, baby-sitting, and eventually enjoying my friend’s kids, I have always had an innate talent for meeting kids where they are...for seeing their needs and their talents and helping, listening, and encouraging them in their daily activities and/or struggles. I believe children need to feel loved, heard, challenged, and inspired, and that is one of my greatest desires. Plainly said, I have a huge heart for children and feel a strong calling to help them become their very best selves. I have a background in music (vocal performance) and love to implement music throughout my daily life. I also enjoy animals, baking, arts and crafts, reading, bird-watching, and spending time outdoors (especially anything water-related). I like routines, I am a neatnik (although I appreciate a good mess in the name of adventure), I choose creativity over screen-time, and I am a stickler for good manners and respect for others.

Hi! My name is Emily, and i’m a reliable babysitter based in Austin, Texas. I’m 18 years old, currently a senior at bowie high school. I absolutely love working with kids and pets, and I always strive to create a fun and safe environment for everyone in the household. I have 5+ years of babysitting, so I know how to keep kids entertained and happy! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household services like tidying up, organizing and preparing meals! I get out of school at 4pm everyday and in the weekends i’m very flexible with times. I am first aid and CPR certified too! Whether it’s playtime, homework help or caring for your pets, I’d love to be a helping hand for your family!

Hi! I'm Michelle and I am a personal trainer and a dance teacher! I would describe myself as hardworking, optimistic, and reliable! Working with kids allows me to grow into the best person I can be through their different interests and lifestyles. I am nurturing and have always wanted to work with kids as they give a fun and loving purpose to the job. I am patient with kids and open-minded to changes and suggestions to fit a families needs. I have about 6 years of experience with all ages, and caring for multiple kids at a time. I am CPR and First Aid Certified!

Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of three siblings, I learned early on how to nurture, support, and create a sense of safety for them. That instinct only deepened as I raised my two daughters, help care for my three grandsons, and spend over eight years working in a childcare environment. Several families have personally entrusted me with their child outside the childcare environment. I am currently a preschool teacher, and I truly enjoy going to work each day. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves is something I genuinely love. I have also had the privilege of caring for my mother during her journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That experience strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to show up with steadiness during difficult seasons. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets (I’ve never met one I didn’t connect with)! I bring warmth, reliability, and heartfelt attention to every family I work with. I would be honored to provide thoughtful, personal care whenever it’s needed.

Hi! My name is Bella and I’ve been babysitting since I was 16. I have several years of experience caring for children and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and am happy to drive children to and from school, activities, or playdates. I can help with homework as needed. I’m also comfortable taking care of pets (especially dogs!) and can help with light housework or tidying up as needed as well as running errands. Currently, I’m doing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available when families need me most. I’d be honored to support your family and create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your child. Looking forward to meeting your family and seeing how I can help!
