Hello, My names Christina I’m reaching out in response to your need for a babysitter for your children. I am a retired RN. After retiring from nursing, I decided to return to my first passion, childcare. I began caring for children at the age of ten and have never stopped, I love all children. There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a child's laughter. As a caregiver, I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child. In addition to being certified in CPR and first aid, I have also been educated regarding stages of child development. My lifestyle does not include smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol. The presence of pets is fine with me, and I have my own vehicle. My undivided attention will be given to your children while I am with them; you will not find me on my cell phone. Upon request, I am willing to provide copies of a recent comprehensive background check and references. You can be confident that I will give your children the level of care and attention they need to grow and thrive. It would be my pleasure to discuss how I might be able to assist your family. You are welcome to contact me at your earliest convenience. If you would like to speak with me. Your consideration is greatly appreciated, Christina.
I have been babysitting for over 15 years and have experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR and Red Cross certified. I truly love working with kids, as I also have 6 years of experience as an elementary school teacher. I am caring, hard working, and patient. My goal is always to make sure children are well taken care of, but that they also grow, learn and have fun.
Hi! My name is Cate, and I am currently in my first year of law school. I’ve been babysitting, tutoring, and working as a camp counselor for over ten years. I babysat regularly during college in Baton Rouge and wanted to continue babysitting while I am in New Orleans. I love working with children, so please consider me for your next babysitting job!
“We are from out of town, and needed a babysitter for one evening when we attended an adults-only event. Cate was perfect! She did a video call with us so we could get to know her. She gave us her cell phone number so we could keep in touch with her and confirm the babysitting job in the days leading up to it. She arrived on time, and was gracious and lovely with my 9yo son. While we were gone, she ordered a pizza for the two of them, and sent occasional photos of my son so I could see how he was doing. My son had a great time with her. And Cate also made it super convenient by accepting payment via Venmo. We recommend Cate completely.”
Hi, My name is Courtney and I’m offering childcare services. I am caring, loving, compassionate, bubbly, energetic, responsible, respectful, trustworthy, and patient. Not only do I have a passion for working with children but I also have a degree in early childhood education. I’m trained in special needs as well. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I’m a member of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. I’m experienced with children of all ages from newborns and up. One of my favorite things to do with children is story time. I am always committed to providing children with a positive, welcoming, nurturing, safe, and supportive environment! If interested please contact me and I look forward to meeting you.
