$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Las Vegas, NV

Good day! My name is Laura and I reside in Las Vegas along with my husband and 3 children (18, 19 and 21). We have lived in LV for years and have no issues if help is needed at the strip, downtown, Henderson etc. I am a Certified Surgical Technician and currently work PT. I’ve been CPR certified for years and am very comfortable with basic first aid. I am able to assist with child care, adult/senior care, transportation, and any errands that may be needed. I am also an animal lover and love cats, dogs and other fur babies as well. We currently have 3 cats and a 5 month old puppy that thinks she rules the world but is awfully cute. Even though I am not much of a computer gamer, I do love board games, cards, movies, being outdoors, as well as building legos or doing makeovers etc. I am also an avid reader, enjoy writing and can help with any homework as needed. I am also a sports fan and loyal to my hometown of Seattle but enjoy great games no matter who is playing. We adopted our 3 kids (biological siblings) from foster care when they were very young and they are now young adults working their way into full adulthood. We learned a lot thru the whole adoption process and I believe it’s been very beneficial in learning how to communicate with kids in some varying circumstances from temper tantrums or acting out against siblings etc. I am very patient and even though I am very easy going, I am not a pushover either and would enforce any rules that you provide. I am also more than happy to FaceTime or meet in person in advance if there are any questions at all or would just like to meet first. Whether you are working, on vacation, date night or whatever the reason you need someone to help with your family, you can be confident that I will take great care of them as if they are my own. 🙂❤️

“Laura was incredible! She babysat my kids in our hotel room while we were in Vegas and seeing a show. She was super accommodating and even willing to come early or stay late. My kids were immediately comfortable with her as was I. She knew exactly what to do. We will definitely have Laura babysit again the next time we are in Vegas. ”

Booked by 2 families in Las Vegas, NV

Highlights: *Over 15 years combined caregiving experience *Former homeschool educator (10+ years) *Senior care with overnight support experience *Pet lover and experienced animal caregiver *Calm, intuitive, and dependable *Open to childcare, elder care, pet sitting, and (non continuous) overnight stays *Graduate of Non-Violent Communication Course By M. Rosenberg Hi! I'm a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a lifelong dedication to nurturing others. As a mother of three and grandmother of two, I bring warmth, patience, and a deep understanding of children’s needs at every stage of life. I homeschooled my own children for over a decade and previously worked as a nanny for six years caring for four children. In my coop group, I taught Veritas Speech and Debate for 5 yrs for all Grade school aged children. I’ve also worked in a daycare setting and have held various childcare roles over the years. I’m currently providing full-time, overnight care for a 90-year-old woman, so I’m also well-versed in senior companionship and support. In addition to childcare and elder care, I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, snakes, livestock, and more. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your loved ones—human or animal—and I take that responsibility to heart. I have recently graduated as an RTT mental health therapist. Former Fitness Trainer, with experience in life guarding and CPR. I am still an avid body builder and have no health issues. Whether you're looking for someone warm, reliable, and experienced to care for your children, pets, or an aging family member, I’d be honored to support your family. My rates are based on human and pet care only. If you'd like a full service, as in cleaning, taxiing, organizing, laundry....maid services, the rate will go up per need and we can discuss that beforehand so there will be no surprises. Thank you in advance.

“Jennifer was early and very friendly. The kids liked her a lot. I definitely recommend her and would have her babysit again.”

Kimberley $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kimberley, I am Australian born, have been a resident of Las Vegas since 1998, (I am now 54yrs of age) I am a trained dancer (classical, jazz, tap, contemporary styles) As a teenager, I used to babysit my neighbors young children every afternoon after school. I also trained as a fitness instructor and a beach lifeguard in my early years so CPR is another training I have participated in. At the age of 18, I traveled the world working in cabaret shows, in 1992 met my husband (a singer) and we produced shows to tour both Australia and the USA for the past 31yrs. I am great with kids of all ages, I owned a performing arts studio in Australia for 4yrs where I taught children to dance and model. I am a creative person, I create all costumes for our shows, I love art, drawing & painting for fun, I also excel at graphic design work and enjoy photography and filming events. As a Virgo, I am particular and love a clean, orderly environment. Experience in this field of a sitter; * My family has always had pets (so yes, I can take care of animals) * Performing Arts Studio Owner (teaching children ages 5 - 16yrs) * I have 4 step grandchildren ages 2 - 17yrs * Child minding - friends and family children since I was a teenager * Aged care; my husband died of pancreatic cancer 2 yrs ago and I cared for him at home during his sickness until he passed in 2023. My Grandma is 104 and when I am in Australia I care for her as she is now blind. I hope my brief outline above explains my past 54yrs of life. I am starting a new chapter of my life as a young widow so I just hope that I can be of service to you for your children, aging parents or fur children, I like to laugh and see people smiling, I like to think of myself as a bright light who makes the most out of any situation. Best Regards, Kimberley
