Booked by 20 families in Idyllwild, CA

Hi families! My name is Kaylee, I’m 22 years old and ready to be your family’s trusted babysitter! I am currently working a full time office job, but would love to find a family where I can be your consistent or reoccurring date night babysitter! I am a recent college graduate and during my college years I was a nanny for many different families and did countless babysitting gigs. I have over 7 years of paid childcare experience and have worked with children ranging from a few weeks old to pre teens. My absolute favorite part of being a babysitter is coming in and having fun with the kids while the parents are out! While still being extremely responsible, I love being able to just have fun, play games, and make memories with the kids so that they love when babysitters come! I am very responsible, caring, nurturing, and supportive and willing to step in and help in any way I can! I have a big heart for children and have absolutely loved being a nanny/ babysitter and being able to lend a happy hand to families! If you are looking for an occasion babysitter, I am more than happy to chat and provide more about myself and my abilities! Thank you!!🩷

Kaylee was great with my two girls! Already planning the next time she’ll come over!

Booked by 35 families in Idyllwild, CA

Hi, my name is Damaris. As a mother I understand that the priority of a parent is to provide the best care for our children. I have been employed at an elementary school as a teacher assistant for about 8 years. Interacting with children ages 5-11 gives me the experience and knowledge to care and keep children safe. Activities I enjoy doing with children are playing boardgames, arts and crafts, puzzles, and indoor/outdoor activities. My hours/days are flexible. *CPR Certified*

Demaris was so amazing w our kids! Highly recommend!
