Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB. Hi! I'm Michelle and I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin and a dance teacher! I would describe myself as hardworking, optimistic, and reliable! Working with kids allows me to grow into the best person I can be through their different interests and lifestyles. I am nurturing and have always wanted to work with kids as they give a fun and loving purpose to the job. I am patient with kids and open-minded to changes and suggestions to fit a families needs. I have about 6 years of experience with all ages, and caring for multiple kids at a time. I have been CPR and First Aid certified in the past and would not mind to get certified again if needed

Hi! I'm a certified teacher with a full time nanny job that ends at 4 daily. I'm great with children of all ages, and I have 4 older children of my own. I love doing art projects, playing games, swimming, being outside, and having lots of fun! I have excellent references, and I'm a very patient and loving caregiver! I am available for weekend and date night sitting only.

Hi! I’m Emilia :) a warm, responsible, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys helping families. I have experience caring for children of all ages and love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel supported and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust. Child Care: I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, young children and school-age kids. I enjoy planning fun and enriching activities like crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and creative projects. I’m also happy to help with homework, cook meals and snacks, and support daily routines like bedtime or getting ready for school. I love encouraging creativity and confidence in kids. Pet Care: I’m very comfortable around animals and have experience caring for pets. I can help with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel cared for and safe. I’m comfortable with different sizes of dogs and cats.

I'm a very patient, kind and loving person. I can definitely say I do get attached to my kids/families I’ve to worked with. I’m a big outdoors person. Love being active and go out with the kiddos, to playgrounds & libraries for example. I’ve been a nanny/babysitting for almost 8 years now and I have been a supportive teacher in the past as well. I have experience with kids from 4 months on till up to 12/13 years old. One of my longest experiences as a nanny was working with 2 boys for 3 years - which the youngest is a sweet boy that has autism. My most recent experience that’s coming to an end has also been an almost 3 years with them. It started with a 13 month old that is now almost 4. But then he had a baby sister that I started caring for when she was 4 months old and will be turning 2 soon and both will be in school at that point and they won’t be needing me for my full time hours anymore. Which is the only reason we’re ending our work relationship and I’m now looking for a new family to work for.
