Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarah and I have been babysitting for approximately 15 years. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids. I also am a mother of a 5 year old and often times, I babysit our cousins, my nephew and other friend’s children. I started babysitting at the age of 15. My duties include transporting kids to/from school, some tutoring, arts and crafts, and some household chores. I also used to work as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I mainly taught classes aging from 3-12. I was a swim instructor and lifeguard for approximately 6 years. I was also a caretaker for both of my grandparents. I assisted with cooking dinner, giving appropriate medication, and taking them to/from their doctor’s appointments. I am afraid of mid size- large dogs but I don’t mind small dogs.

Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!
