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!

Cassie $20 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! I’m Ms. Cassie, and I have five years of experience and wonderful memories working with children. After graduating from UT, I found myself employed as a nanny, regular sitter, and now a full-time teacher at a small daycare. I love working with children of all ages; I primarily take care of little ones 3 months to 7 years. I am looking to supplement my income with regular or one-time sitting. I have experience with sibling groups, potty training, bedtime, cooking, and more. I love playing games and pretend, reading, sensory play, and building with different materials. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Olivia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia! I am currently working full-time in corporate sales in Austin, and I'm looking to babysit on evenings and weekends because working with kids has always been something | genuinely love and enjoy. I started babysitting at 15 years old in my church nursery, caring for children ranging from 3 months to 10 years old. Since then, I've worked with multiple families over the years and have also gained experience through roles in kids clubs at gyms, summer camps, and church programs. I have 8+ years of paid childcare experience, have taken multiple CPR courses, and have reliable transportation. I'm responsible, organized, patient, and safety-focused, while also making sure kids feel comfortable, engaged, and have fun. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little

"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!"
