Booked by 1 family in Discovery Bay, CA
I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive caregiver with hands-on experience babysitting children of different ages.

Ebany $21 per hour for 1 child
HII! My name is Ebany. I am 19 years old and currently a nursing student. I am open and available for a babysitting job. I gained experience working with younger and older children by working with my mom since I was 7 years old in her home daycare and from my most recent job working with a care provider company where I have been babysitting kids. I’m very gentle, patient, kind, and hardworking. I’m willing to care for any children of age. I would be more than happy to set up an interview so that way you can get to know me better , I look forward to caring for your young ones! Thank you!
