Hi! My name is Bailey! I am a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee and I’m so excited to start my new job as a pediatric ICU nurse at Dell Children’s Hospital. While in college I spent a year working in the Neonatal ICU, which made me fall in love with caring for infants and children of all ages. My background in nursing has given me tons of hands-on experience, and I’m certified in CPR and first aid, so you can always count on me to keep your little ones safe. I’m great at coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities and believe in the magic of interactive play. I just moved to Austin and am looking for part-time babysitting jobs. I adore kids and would love to share my skills and care with your family. Plus, I love all pets and can dog sit too!
“Very helpful and great communication ”

Hi, I’m Olga, go by Camila, 27. Born in Mexico then raised in Texas. I am the youngest of 4 and my older siblings started having kids when I was 12 yrs old, so I’ve been on babysitting duties since then. I have 5 nephews and 2 nieces. My oldest nephew is now 15 and I have been their part time nanny all through out. I have a child like spirit and love to play with and nurture children. I am currently in the job market and have started picking up babysitting shifts in NYC in the meantime. I’m a natural at taking care of kids, I understand their needs, but most importantly how parents want me to care for their little ones. I’m great with bed time routines, naps, activities, etc. I also help out with household needs, cooking, cleaning, errands, etc. I’m also great at maintaining a clean space. Jack of all trades, really whatever you need help with I can jump right in! I’d love to connect and help out! 😊
“Olga is such a natural caregiver. She is so good at making up fun activities for my kids. They love spending time with her! Every time she watches them they are come back exhausted but full of joy. I highly highly recommend Olga for all your child care needs. So grateful to have someone as reliable and natural as her! ”
My name is Theresa and I am offering senior care, household assistance and pet care. I have been working with seniors for six years and thoroughly enjoy it! They have lived long lives and, so I like to do what I can to make their lives easier and give them a chance to rest. I enjoy talking to them and hearing their stories. When I am with them I consider myself an extension of their family, so I treat them accordingly. I enjoy just spending time with them and talking. I can take them to the grocery store, the library, or any other activities they might have. I can call doctors and make appointments and get them to those appointments as well. I can also work as a household assistant. I enjoy helping with whatever I can to make your day easier, whether that means helping out around the house, paying bills, making appointments, running errands, food prepping, or whatever else might be needed. Many of my clients have had pets, so I have lots of experience feeding, walking, or playing with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and just spending time with cats. I love animals. My family has two cats and a dog.
Hi! My name is Anna, I am a college student at UT Austin in my sophomore year of college. I absolutely adore children and I have worked as a babysitter throughout high school and college in various capacities. I have experience with all ages, and have worked as a regular babysitter for a child from age 5 to 9. Along with babysitting, I have worked as a tutor for elementary and middle-school aged children, a soccer coach for toddlers (aged 3 to 5), and a camp counselor for pre-teens. I am available for a broad-range of work, and am happy to cook and clean as needed. I have reliable transportation, but do not have a car here in Austin so I am unable to transport kids in my own vehicle.
“Anna is wonderful and my daughter loved her. She’s incredibly dependable, responsive and prompt. I would highly recommend her to babysit and would definitely hire her again!”
