Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe
Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and sweet person who truly enjoys spending time with children and pets. I have 2–3 years of experience caring for kids between 1 and 7 years old. I love creating safe, happy, and loving environments where kids can learn and have fun. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing, and outdoor games. I’m patient, respectful, and always make sure the children feel comfortable and cared for. In addition to babysitting, I also enjoy pet sitting — I love dogs and feel very comfortable taking care of them, whether it’s walking, feeding, or playing. Families describe me as reliable, kind, and gentle, and I always do my best to make their day easier while keeping their children and pets safe and happy.
I have a strong background in caregiving that began in my high school years, where I regularly babysat for families in my community. As the second oldest of six girls, I grew up helping care for my five younger sisters, so nurturing, guiding, and supporting children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and understand how to keep them engaged, safe, and cared for. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I grew up with two dogs at my mom’s house and now have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, walking, and giving animals the attention they need. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m highly organized and maintain a clean, tidy space. I’m able to help with light housekeeping, daily routines, and anything that keeps a home running smoothly. Overall, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy supporting families. My mix of experience, personality, and hands-on caregiving makes me a reliable and trustworthy helper.
Hi! I'm Keziah, a full-time college student studying Business Administration with several years of childcare, tutoring, and camp experience. I've worked with children ranging from infants to pre-teens in both group and one-on-one settings, including supervising children during camp activities and public outings around town. I'm known for being calm, responsible, organized, and dependable. I enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids while still maintaining structure, safety, and attentiveness. I naturally communicate with children in a respectful and encouraging way that helps them feel heard, confident, and comfortable. In addition to babysitting, I also have experience helping with homework and tutoring in subjects like math and English. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/AED, and my availability can be flexible around my college schedule, especially evenings and weekends.
“Keziah has been wonderful with our children including our twin toddlers. She has handled the chaos of our young family with grace and handles the unpredictability of twin toddlers and a preschooler with poise.”
