I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was about 13 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even just keeping children entertained for a few hours! I consider myself an extremely responsible and attentive person; I have always loved working with kids!!

Diana was great! She was on time, thorough and very respectful & open to feedback. Will definitely be scheduling her again!

Booked by 4 families in Belleville, IL

Hi my name is Lucy, I am currently a full time college student going in to my junior year at Eckerd. I am looking for part time nanny positions and occasional babysitting jobs. I have lots of experience babysitting starting from the age of 12, as well as experience from being the oldest of 4. I spent last summer nannying for a 4 month old so l have experience with infants. This past summer I nannied for 3 girls under 10. If you want to reach out to my past employers for references we can absolutely make that happen. I spent a lot of my high school years as a Girl Scout and as a Girl Scouts camp counselor so I have lots of fun enriching activities and games to play with kiddos. I regularly volunteer at my mom's preschool so l also am very good with much younger children. I have my own car and can provide transportation as you are comfortable with. I am cpr, aed and first aid certified, have a clean driving record, and can provide swimming supervision. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.

she is great babysitter we will book her next time

Update: I’m currently available for occasional babysitting. Please message me for availability—I respond quickly! Hi! I’m Mou. I’m a former flight attendant and a pilot-in-training with over 8 years of babysitting experience. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and fluent in five languages. I love working with children and bring a calm, dependable energy to every home. One of my favorite things to do is tell stories through drawings—it sparks so much joy and creativity. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. Most importantly, I’ll care for your little ones like they’re family. Looking forward to connecting!

Wonderful energy, great with our almost two year old. We would definitely book again!

Mackenzie Saint Louis
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kenzie and I am a law student in my final year of school. Growing up in Utah and as the eldest in a big family, I grew up around kids and grew up babysitting often. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. I am 12 and 14 years apart from my youngest siblings and helped raise them since they were newborns. In college at the University of Utah, I tutored kids from Korea in English, where I enjoyed making assignments, homework, and developing unique ways of teaching to fit their learning style. In my free time outside of school, I enjoy reading, knitting, cooking, and hanging out with friends.

$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tracy. I am a widowed empty nester looking to fill my free time. I raised two wonderful children, one of them was special needs who has since passed. I was a stay at home mom for many years until my husband passed. I used to watch children in my home for many years and miss having them around. I have been taking care of children since I was 10 years old whether it was for neighbors, my parents friends kids or my sister. I have lots of patience and love to teach kids new things like crocheting, arts and crafting. I'm good at helping with homework too! My daughter was multiple handicapped and needed help in all areas of daily living. If you have a special needs child I understand the need for you to get some ME time! Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats but dogs and other animals are fine with me. I stay home most weekends so if you're looking for a weekend getaway I would be happy to help. I am available during the week during the evenings after 4:00 and all day/night on most weekends.
