I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna

“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”

I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!

“Ashley was great. Showed up on time and had an easy-going engagement with my son. She fed him and put him to bed, and Nik had a great time.”

Whitney $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, patient, dependable, and responsible caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping children and families. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have experience caring for children including babysitting, caregiving and as a pediatric nurse in the school and home setting. As a babysitter and caregiver, I understand the importance of keeping children engaged, safe, and on a consistent routine. I’m comfortable helping with meals, snacks, playtime, activities, homework, bedtime routines, transportation, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. My personality is warm, patient, calm, and easygoing. I’m reliable and take my responsibilities seriously, while also making sure children have fun and feel cared for. I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home and with their children. I would love the opportunity to support a family and become someone they can depend on.

Hi! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m currently a first-year psychology student, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and supporting their growth, creativity, and well-being. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping with activities like homework, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines. I can also provide reference numbers from families I’ve worked with if needed. I look forward to connecting with families and creating a safe, fun environment for your children!
