Hi, my name is Emily and I’m 20 I babysit alongside my serving job. And I take great pride in providing amazing childcare. I am the oldest of four kids. My mom actually decided to add the 4th one back in 2023 so I’ve been able to walk alongside her in the newborn/toddler age:) I love children and being intentional with our time such as doing crafts, going for walks/the park when the weather is nice or making learning fun. Naturally as an older sister, I have experience cooking, tiding up, helping with homework and driving kids to and from sports/school. I’ve also worked children’s ministries at church and provided childcare since I was 12 this ranged from nursery age to middle school age. minimal dog task can definitely be done as well!!

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am looking for fun, sweet, loving families to babysit on the weekends! I am currently a full time nanny but looking to pick up extra hours on the weekend :) I have my degree in early childhood education as well as many years providing care for children ages 2 months to 12 years! My passion is and will always be caring for children and I cannot wait to have my own children to love on some day! I can’t wait to connect and to tell you more about me as well as learn about you and your family!!

“Amanda did an amazing job. She was in charge of our little one at our wedding. She made sure our daughter was fed, clean and having a great time. Our daughter was able to keep her routine on this day all because of Amanda. Our daughter had an instant connection with her and it really showed. I could not have booked a better nanny for our special day. All night everyone kept coming up to me letting me know how great Amanda was. We cannot thank her enough for her patience and professionalism.”

Only able to work with families who are potentially open to me bringing my daughter, who was born on March 20, 2026, with me. Hello Families! My name is Kasia and I am a fun, loving, caring, responsible, and reliable professional educator. While working with children I like to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment in which the children are able to express themselves freely. I allow them to choose activities and build on their interests in order to challenge them; while also keeping activities age and developmentally appropriate. I strive to support the development of each individual child, and build a partnership with parents to support their wants, needs, and values. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a long lasting relationship with your children!
