Hi! My name is Serena, I’m a nursing student and part time nurse’s assistant at Baylor University Medical Center. As school is picking up I am not able to work as much at the hospital and am looking for more flexible hours. I absolutely love caring for people of all ages, I’ve been working in healthcares since 2021, have experience with babies, young children and older adults. I am CPR certified for infants and adults and have direct experience working with newborns. I am very flexible with school and pay rates, please feel free to reach out with any questions, thank you!
Hi families! My name is Praises and I’m a responsible sitter with 4 years of babysitting experience. I love engaging kids through creative play, learning activities, and outdoor fun. Safety, patience, and positivity are my top priorities, and I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, or bedtime routines. I’d love to support your family—feel free to reach out!
“Praises was great with my son !!! We really enjoyed having her. She’s very detailed and punctual and very helpful!!! ”
Hello parents, my name is of course Jasiya I am a college freshman currently doing my prerequisites for cardiovascular sonography. I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they have that person to make them feel happy and cared for. I’m responsible and reliable, so parents can trust that I’ll always show up on time and handle everything smoothly. I pay attention to each child’s personality and needs, and I try to create a fun and engaging environment through games, crafts, reading, or just playful conversation. I stay calm and patient no matter what comes up, whether it’s a tantrum, a minor accident, or a disagreement between siblings. Safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure kids feel comfortable and confident exploring and having fun. I communicate openly with parents, sharing updates on how the kids are doing and any important details they should know. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just supervision, I try to be someone kids enjoy spending time with and parents can completely rely on, combining care, fun, and attentiveness in everything I do. I have been babysitting unpaid and paid for many years in various settings. I have babysat in churches, my home, others homes and even in shelters. I also started a business with a couple other friends in a babysitters club kind of way ! I hope all of this has shown that I am the perfect sitter for you, I hope to hear from you soon !
