Hi! I’m Ashlyn, a dedicated and caring childcare professional with several years of experience working with children of all ages in preschool, after-school, and summer camp settings. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education and have a passion for creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where children can learn and grow. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with. Whether it’s planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I always strive to make each child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, pet care, and household organization. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing reliable, compassionate care!

Hi there! I am currently looking for part-time babysitting work. I have a patchwork of experience, working with children from infancy to high-school aged. Most of that comes from working in childcare centers with children 0-4 years old and in after school programs. I have a degree in botany, and I love love love using outdoor spaces to let children explore and develop. While I have a variety of childhood development and psychology courses in my background, I am also continuing my early childhood development education so that I can plan activities to do with children that best fits their age and needs. My ideal care includes a lot of play and hands-on activities. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your family! Emma
My name is Rylee and I absolutely love working with children. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and could get my CPR/ first aide certification. I babysat for many families growing up, ranging from many different ages. I was also a lifeguard in high school and ran many different summer activities/ camps with kids. I do have my Bachelors degree in Public Health from UNR. I am very loving, organized, compassionate individual and would love the opportunity to babysit for you. My main priority would be tending to your children but am also happy to help with any additional needs such as cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, etc. The best way to contact me is [removed]
