Hi! I’m Sierra, a caring and dependable babysitter with 8 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I also have experience working with children with autism and developmental delays. I recently graduated from nursing school with my ASN, and now I’m in school completing my BSN. This gives me a strong foundation in child health, safety, and first aid. You can feel confident knowing I bring both childcare experience and medical knowledge to every babysitting job. I have current CPR and First Aid certifications. My last job lasted 2.5 years and was with a family of 3 kids. I can provide references

I'm a mother of two children myself but they are all grown up one of them is 35and the other one is 26I love to be around small children and having fun with them by making them smile I’m also a grandma to a 7year old granddaughter and a five year old granddaughter who I adore very much.

Denise was very communicative, and even shared her location with us when she was en route to meet us at our hotel. She listened to our instructions and followed them exactly. Usually our daughter freaks out when we leave her with a new sitter, but the second time Denise watch her, she didn’t cry or fuss at all at drop-off, which is always a great sign.

$21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children and supporting families. I grew up on Long Island, New York, with my parents and brother, and from a young age I was very active in dance, gymnastics, skiing, ice skating, and soccer, which I continued through college. Staying active and enjoying the outdoors are still a big part of my life today. For the past 24+ years, I’ve been a devoted stay-at-home mother raising three children while also volunteering at school, coaching soccer, and assisting with other youth sports. We currently have two boys in college and an 11th-grade daughter attending Bishop Moore Catholic High School. I’ve been happily married for 27 years and truly value family, health, nutrition, sports, swimming, outdoor adventures, and creating a positive home environment. My childcare experience began around age 10 as a mother’s helper, and I worked closely with several families from ages 18–30. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with little ones. I’m positive, easygoing, patient, consistent, and enjoy laughing, playing, crafting, baking, reading, and making everyday moments fun and engaging for kids. I also have personal experience parenting a high-functioning autistic son, now 24, which has given me added patience, understanding, flexibility, and compassion when supporting children with different personalities and needs. While I’m not overly focused on technology, I appreciate the ways it can be useful and prefer building real, meaningful connections with children and families. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, active, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
