Hi families! Update March 2026* I am working full time during the weekdays and am available for occasional & date night sitting only in the evening or weekends* My name is Emma, I've been babysitting and nannying for a little over 8 years now. I went to college for social work, and I have worked with kids in a variety of environments from school as a paraprofessional, to tutoring, nannying, as well as being a case manager. I am looking for occasional positions, one time, or part time. I have a clean driving record, my own vehicle, & I’m CPR/first aid certified. I am comfortable with pets as I grew up with cats and dogs. I love doing different activities with kids from games, puzzles & crafts, playing outside, reading, and everything in between! I have experience working with children from infant to teenage years. I am also happy to prepare meals and help with light housekeeping as well. I look forward to talking with you. Best, Emma

On-time, communicative and professional. Daughter had a great day! Will have Emma back.

Hi there, My name is Karsyn and I look forward to connecting with you! Months ago I quit my tech job to start a small business and while it's been lovely, my husband and I decided we need more cash coming in while I build it out. I have years of babysitting experience, with a full year using this app in the past so you can check out my reviews! I am 33, very professional, mature and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you feel like your child is in good hands. I enjoy children very much and after realizing I needed a part-time job, I decided this was the route I was most excited about! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Talk soon!

Karsyn is awesome!
