Alexis $13 per hour for 1 child

I’m Alexis but everyone calls me Lexi, I’ve been a certified babysitter since I was 13, I’m 18 now. I’ve been CPR certified, and am working on my infant certification. I have a basic understanding of Spanish, and German. I do immense research on child psychology, and behavior, and multiple types of parenting techniques. I’ve worked with children of all ages infants to preteens. Even handle multiple at once, which I actually found entertaining. I’m good with emotional outbursts, meltdowns and find myself to be a calm, grounded person. I love running, and outdoor fun, as well as board games and arts. Like singing, drawing, and dancing. I graduated early, so I am very good at tutoring, and homework. I’m an excellent cook, and fairly good baker. I also have a spotless driving record. I believe that structure and rules are important, but a fair amount of play is also necessary for childhood development and growth.

Hello! My name is Zara. I am 27yrs old and a professional dancer. I moved to NYC from the SF Bay Area as a freelance dancer, and now pivoting from my dance career into administrative roles. While I’m job searching, I'd love to take care of your precious kiddos. I am available for occasional sittings. I graduated from Dominican University of California in 2020 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in dance through Alonzo King LINES Ballet in San Francisco. Throughout my time in college and after graduating, I sat for various families in the Bay Area. I’ve now acquired 7 years of experience. I am originally from Columbia, Maryland, and I am one of 9 children. I grew up with many pets, including cats, guinea pigs, a bunny and bearded dragon, so I am very comfortable with any of your pets. I started with occasional sittings, then transitioned to part-time work as a nanny for a little 5-year old girl in San Francisco Fall 2019. Following, I worked in San Rafael Sep 2020-Feb 2021 as a nanny part-time for 5yr and 3yr old boys. Afterwards, I worked as a live-in nanny in Kailua, HI Feb-June 2021. During my time in Hawaii, I looked after 9yr and 3yr old sisters full-time, as well as occasional sittings for the other children who lived on our lane. Ages range from 6 months-9yr. I now continue occasional sittings. I have created some long-lasting connections with the families I've sat for. It is a joy to get to know the kids, and I make it a priority to address the children's needs first, to serve as a role model and be a positive influence, and have fun! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I am happy to provide any references and speak with you and your family.

Booked by 3 families in College Station, AR

I am a working mom who is married and currently in college part time majoring in psychology! I am looking for part time or single-occuring jobs. Babies/children: I am a mom to a toddler girl, having fresh experience with infants/tots. I grew up babysitting my cousin during summer from 8-13yo, and have 3 years experience volunteering at my local church to watch our toddlers, youth and teens in a larger scale, max 5 kids by myself at a time. I also worked at a developmental preschool as an RBT working with autistic children 5yo and under, as well as a Vilonia preschool working with toddlers. I have also tutored with math, chemistry, reading sheet music, and english, additionally teaching private art lessons, so I can help with homework or teach a new skill within my capacity to the kids if needed! I am firmly Christian, sociable, energetic and love hanging out with the kids while talking, playing, marking art or making music, and love the outdoors/exploring outside. I love being a mom and treating kids like they're my own, and I hope to make positive impacts and lasting bonds with each one. For dogs/pets: Every dog and pet I meet I love like my own! I have cared for dogs and other pets for years starting during childhood, including my own, elderly dogs, medicated and/or diaper/pad using pets, as well as puppies and low-maintenance pets, housesat a house full of dogs, cats and reptiles before. Most importantly, I enjoy every second spending time with animals. I have loved dogs and all critters ever since my youth. I grew up with dogs, reptiles and birds, and have 2 rescue dogs and a rescue kitten currently who are all very spoiled. Household Services: I have volunteered to clean my local church for 5 years, have housesat for friend's parents growing up during vacations, and I have helped clean up/organize for the ill, disabled and elderly within the church for the past few years. I love helping people any way I can and cleaning is therapeutic to me which is a plus! I do have a few of my own general cleaning supplies that I can bring minus large appliances like steamers, but prefer to use yours since you know what you like to use.

“ULTIMATELY THE BEST BABY SITTER!!! I have 3 little ones and she makes them so happy. They can't wait till the next time she comes back :) She is so interactive with them. And great at keeping them settled when disagreements between the kids arise. 100% recommend her. Book her today! You won't regret it. She is also great at house cleaning, I originally hired her for that, but quickly realized how personable and trustworthy. A great personality and fun to be around.”

Kim $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Kimberly. I just received my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Learning. I will be soon working to get my Bachelors next. I am a devoted mother of 6 children and a wife. I have experience working with children from newborn to school age. With me having children from 3-14 years old, I am experienced with dealing with different personalities as well. I know it takes time and patience with dealing with children. I also know that you have to learn each child individually. I love to sit down and get on their level while playing and learning. My favorite idea of children is that being an adult, we might think we know a lot, but children teach us new things everyday. I also recently worked at a senior care community for 3 years. I love learning the senior community just as I love learning from the children. While working at the senior community, I was responsible for checking on each person day to day, scheduling activities, and I also loved learning different history that each person went through. Cleaning is also a specialty that I have. I would be available for cleaning duties like dusting, laundry (drop offs and pick ups as needed), bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning, organizing, etc. I would love to work with you today!
