Morgan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.

Jannine $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! 😊 My name is Jannine and I have over 10 years of experience helping families with children of varying ages, from infants to older children, along with just general experience from being the oldest in my family. I come from a healthcare and research background, with experience working in the Emergency Department as a scribe and even vaccinating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm working towards my goal of attending medical school, and babysitting is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting children and families while saving for this next chapter. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs from having worked as a behavioral therapist for kids with Autism. I have also looked after a child with epilepsy with a past family that I babysat for during evenings and weekends. Lastly, I have experience with pets as I am a Wag! petsitter and dogwalker in my free time. I am happy to take care of any children, furry or human šŸ˜‰ I'm excited to connect with families looking for a reliable sitter who will treat their little ones with kindness and care! I look forward to meeting you! šŸ’›
