"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Lynsi $22 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Lynsi! I love kids and I have many years experience in babysitting! I previously held a corporate job for almost 18 years, and do some traveling now, in between caring for the children. I do pet sitting (no cats as I am allergic). I am a very creative neurodivergent and can bring crafting supplies for entertainment! In my free time I enjoy making custom jewelry and can crochet, sew, and care for my senior fur-baby Atlas- an American Bully. No overnight care services at this time. Feel free to ask any questions!

Hi! I am Luz, a recent doctoral graduate of Musical Arts from UT. I am from Colombia and I have been living in the US for 10 years with my husband, who is also a doctor! I love kids and enjoy myself taking care of my beautiful nephews when I am in Colombia. I have also worked as babysitter when I live in France for six months and I have been babysitting in Austin for two years. I don't drink or smoke, I love music and books and I would love to help you with your kids if you need me!
Grayson $15 per hour for 1 child
I’d be a great babysitter because I have extensive hands-on experience with children of all ages and backgrounds. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair caring for three young kids, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, structured environment. I’ve also worked with children with special needs, including nannying for a boy with unique care requirements, and I spent a summer working at a daycare supporting multiple age groups. Along with over five years of consistent babysitting experience, I currently work at a med spa and am finishing school online, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and multitasking skills. I’m reliable, caring, and confident in providing a safe and positive experience for any family.
