About me: My name is Daniella, I'm 40yrs old and I've been babysitting since the age of 13. Although I have a full-time career as an accountant, I still babysit part-time. I think kids are amazing. I love babysitting because it's completely different from what I do on a daily basis. Kids always teach me something new about life or remind me of the great things that I forgot about. I enjoy playing games and reading to kids. I think kids really enjoy it when I read to them because I do all of the voices! In my free time I enjoy painting, and traveling, and I am studying French. Availability: Friday - Sunday evenings. Please see my calendar for up-to-date availability. POLICY: *4 HOUR MINIMUM FRIDAYS - SUNDAYS* *CANCELLATION NOTICE: 48 HOURS. FEE OF 50% TIME BOOKED IF LESS THAN 48 HOURS NOTICE GIVEN*

She was wonderful with my son, communicate well, and very helpful.

Hello! My name is Ellie and I’m a freshman in college with experience babysitting kids ages 2-10. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old! I love doing any activities from board games to outdoor activities to painting! I’ve received First Aid and CPR training and am vaccinated for COVID. I also have experience with cats and dogs. I also if needed offer cleaning, laundry, running errands and organizing! I can bring my own cleaning supplies just need to be told ahead of time! Any other questions or concerns I am open to answering! I know every kid is different but they are all the same in the fact that they need protection, love and caring for.

Hi! After successfully completing my time in the Navy, I'm currently working as a Field Service Engineer at a tech company but want to save more money for college and law school. Growing up, I took care of my sister off and on while my parents were out. When I turned 15, I started working as a lifeguard at my hometown's water park. And when I was 19, I worked for 6 months as a lifeguard at Disney World's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Contemporary Resort. I have spent most of my life taking care of kids and keeping them entertained but safe. I really enjoyed that work and hope I can achieve that again for you and your child.

Hi my name is Lexi! I am 28 years old. My past work experience has been with teenagers 12-17 year olds and this was teenagers who struggled with behavioral issues and trauma, so I do have experience with de-escalation and trauma informed. Although, I have a niece and a nephew who are 1 and 3 who I am very close to and have babysat on multiple occasions.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Lexi for 4 years. She is very personable, professional, and punctual. She is able to turn a dull environment into something more exciting with her enthusiastic personality. As our friendship has grown I have seen how wonderful of a first time aunt she is. I 100% recommend Lexi as a babysitter for various ages.
