Hi there! My name is Samantha and I am currently a 25 year old nursing student! I'm a caring and dependable sitter who truly loves spending time with kids! With babysitting experience going back to my teen years (plus lots of auntie duties with my nieces and nephews!), I bring tons of enthusiasm, patience, and creativity to every sit and have genuine love for what I do. I'm big on keeping kids engaged with fun activities or adventures, and since I'm a huge Disney fan, I always have something to connect with the little ones over! š° I grew up with pets my whole life, so your furry family members are in great hands too! Whether it's dogs, cats, or both! Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: ⢠š House sitting ⢠š¾ Pet sitting ⢠𧹠Household chores ⢠š Errands And for your peace of mind, I am BLS/CPR certified, so you can feel confident your family is safe and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!
Hi! Iām a behavioral therapist who works with children with special needs, mainly ages 2ā7. Iām experienced in supporting communication, behavior, and social development in a patient and positive way. I love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment. Iām excited to support families who need a reliable and caring sitter.
Hi everyone! My name is Jhanine, Iām 22 years old and currently a nursing student pursuing my passion for caring for others. Iāve always had a special place in my heart for working with kids. Thereās something so genuine, energetic, and joyful about being around children that really inspires me and reminds me why I chose nursing in the first place. Although I havenāt officially worked in a pediatric setting yet, I come from a big, loving, and caring family where looking out for one another is just part of who we are. Being surrounded by cousins, siblings, and family gatherings has naturally helped me develop patience, warmth, and a nurturing personality. Through babysitting, Iāve been able to bring that same positive, supportive energy and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids. Iām excited to continue growing in my nursing journey and hopefully work with children in the future, combining my education with the genuine care and compassion that comes from my family roots.
Hi! My name is Andee, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience working primarily with children ages 4-12, along with 7 years of experience as an educator. After working as a special education and elementary school teacher, I am now earning my credential in mathematics to become a middle school teacher. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments and am always happy to support with homework or provide math tutoring during our time together at no extra cost. Iāve led summer enrichment programs including science and cooking camps, so I enjoy creating engaging, structured activities. I also greatly value the importance of unstructured play and giving kids the space to relax, explore, and be themselves. I strive to find a thoughtful balance between fun, creativity, and gentle structure. I have experience working with neurodivergent children and take on a collaborative, individualized approach, partnering closely with families to understand each childās unique needs so they can feel supported, comfortable, and confident. One of my personal passions is financial literacy, and I love finding age-appropriate ways to introduce simple money mindset concepts through fun, optional activities (only if this is something your family is interested in!). Iām a big animal lover and grew up with pets: currently I have two cats, Dougie and Mac (named after rappers), and a sweet dog named Mila, so Iām very comfortable in homes with animals. I also have a reliable car and a clean driving record. Above all, I aim to create a warm, positive, and dependable environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together. Due to my full-time work + school schedule, my availability isn't as open as I would like. However, I do occasionally have weekend or night openings when schedules align, so feel free to reach out. Iād love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family! š
āAndee was an absolute joy! She came prepared with arts and crafts, was a great communicator, and immediately connected with both of our kids. They absolutely raved about her afterward. We couldnāt have asked for a better experience and would happily have her back!ā
