Lisa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - I'm Lisa! I have over 5 years of babysitting experience. I've worked with families in the Chicago area and I also used to work at a daycare in Beverly Hills. I’m extremely empathetic, playful, alert, and responsible. Most of my experiences are with children ages 2-13. I graduated from ISU with a BA in Theatre and I am also an SLP at a pediatric clinic. I’m happy to assist with cooking, homework, laundry, and other tasks. I truly love playing and being silly! Some personal hobbies include yoga, cycling, and writing. I love babysitting because of the joy it brings me - kids have the greatest perspective on just about everything. I am available for weekends. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Natalie $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Calistoga, CA

My name is Natalie, a bilingual (English and French and learning Spanish) Windsor High senior with over six years of childcare experience mentored by my nanny’s who are 30-year industry veteran. Caring for others is a gift of mine I have had since a young age! My experience in student government, serving on a school board and more makes me wise beyond my years and very responsible. As an active figure skater and dancer, I have plenty of energy to foster an environment that prioritizes outdoor play, fun quality engagement and creative crafts, though I am equally patient and calm when caring for infants and any child that needs it. I am a licensed driver and capable cook, happy to assist with school pickups, errands, and meal prep as well. As a lifelong pet owner, I have extensive experience with house and dog sitting, ensuring your furry friends and home are perfectly cared for. I also provide compassionate, non-medical senior care and am a dedicated, mature professional ready to support your household before I head to college this fall.
