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

Jack of all trades, really whatever you need help with I can jump right in! I’d love to connect and help out! 😊

Sviatlana $25 per hour for 1 child

My first job in high school was at Kumon, where I tutored children one-on-one. I was exception at that job, and was assigned to work with children with disabilities. I babysat three different families in high school, all with multiple children. I went to Temple University where I studied Economics, studied abroad in Tokyo Japan, was President of Art Club, and took on an internship at the Municipality of Cuenca in Cuenca, Ecuador. I now work as a Consultant and am looking to spend my free time more wisely, and make some extra money. I am a daughter to an Art Teacher and have always been passionate about painting, sculpting, and being expressive. I prefer to spend time off screen, playing a board game, reading, being outside. I am very easy going and can get along with many different people. I have a lot of energy and genuinely feel happy to be helpful to others. I speak Russian and have experience helping my family members with administrative tasks due to a language barrier. I am empathetic to other people that struggle with certain things, or might need extra help to get something done. Someone would describe me as a friendly, positive, helpful, empathetic, nature-loving person.

Estefani $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a lifelong affinity for children, and have focused my career on providing safe and nurturing environments for them. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.

"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!"
