Hi, I’m Abby! I am a warm, reliable babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for kids ages 3mo to 14 years. I love doing arts and crafts, playing outside, and helping with homework.

Hello, I have experience caregiving for an elderly person daily for 1 year and am capable of handling tasks for those around me who are unable to do so. I have watched Children of relatives for weekends or when their parents go out of town/vactions, managed their needs of getting them to school and preparing meals for the week. I am a pet owner myself and have a pet-sitting background for Dogs & Cats. I am easy going and always willing to attend to the needs of those under my care. Thank you for reading this. May this message find you well and I hope I can be a caregiver for your requests/needs. Have a great day.
Reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, I take pride in creating a safe and comfortable environment for both pets and homes. I have experience with cats, dogs and lizards of all temperaments and treat every animal like family. Whether it’s pet sitting, house sitting, or helping with light chores, I’m dependable and respectful of your space. I aim to bring peace of mind while you’re away. Friendly, communicative, and always attentive to the little details.

Hi there, my name is Julie and I work full time with special needs babies and toddlers. I have been babysitting since my college years and was even a part time nanny during that same time. I have a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I would like the opportunity to meet with you and see if I would be a good fit for your family. Looking forward to speaking with you and thank you for taking the time to reading this. Thank you, Julie
Hi! My name is Diella, and I'm currently a college student at Grand Canyon University! I've been babysitting and nannying since I was around 13, working with several families throughout high school. I also have over four years of experience in church childcare and have worked as a preschool teacher. I've cared for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I'm outgoing, creative, patient, and dependable! I love getting to know each child's unique personality and finding fun ways to connect through crafts, games, and outdoor activities. In addition to childcare, I'm also available for dog sitting, house sitting, cleaning, and household assistance. I'm happy to help with everyday tasks and keeping things organized! Whether I'm caring for your children, pets, or home, my goal is to be someone you can trust and depend on. I'd love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier!
