Hi, my name is Nidia. I’m offering my services as a sitter for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, dogs, and even house sitting. I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, having worked as a sitter while attending school to help pay for my education. In addition, I volunteered for several years in church for Sunday school, caring for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m a mother to a 23-year-old and currently furthering my education online. For the past 19 years, I’ve worked as a medical assistant, including over eight years of experience caring for pediatric patients. My goal is to be a trustworthy resource for parents and a fun, responsible caregiver for your children, pets, and home. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.
Hi there! :) My name is Maddie, I’m currently completing my nursing pre requisites online and am about to get my CNA license. I work part time at a coffee shop and am looking to fill my evenings during the weekdays, and I’m available all day Sundays and Mondays! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love working with kids, I have a younger brother who I’m inseparable with and grew up with lots of younger cousins. I’ve been babysitting on the side since I was 15 and have gained valuable experience with the 3-10y/o age range. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school or extracurriculars, tutoring, preparing meals, and arts and crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can clean, take dogs on walks, and run errands. I love all animals and would gladly housesit for a family with pets 🐾

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]
