I grew up taking care of my little brother who is on the autism spectrum. I’ve lived with and bred both dogs and cats, so I know my way around taking care of them.

I am currently a sophomore at the University of Utah and recently returned from an LDS mission in Oregon! I’m the oldest daughter of 5 kids and I love working with and caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting on and off since I was 11. And have more recently begun house sitting. I can cook, drive, and handle other tasks. I strive to be clean, detail oriented, honest, and kind :)

Hi, my name is Caleigh and I'm currently a student at the University of Utah. I am offering childcare and pet care. I come from a small town in Colorado where I have been babysitting since I was 11. I got my Red Cross certificate in 2017 and began babysitting right after. I babysat my sister before my parents trusted her alone, and then I moved to babysitting for teachers and my mom's friends (ages 4-10). I have three cousins in my family (ages 5, 4, and 2) and have been babysitting them since they were very little. I have babysat children of all ages, including one family with a 3 year old and 5 month old (dealt with a diaper blowout). I also have a puppy at home for whom I have cared for and I have experience in house sitting with two dogs for a week straight. I also have experience in cat sitting while a family spent 10 days in Florida, I took care of their two cats. I would describe myself as a creative person, with an imagination to fulfill toddlers dreams and games. I am funny and comforting, and can calm children down who may feel distressed being with someone new. I am very friendly and am very comfortable speaking with adults to figure out what the child/pet needs and how to continue their routine. I am very kind and patient and will sit through whatever I need to in order for a child/pet to feel most comfortable with me and/or the absence of their parents. I can drive and have a truck with a full size back seat for car seats. I am artistic, with lots of experience in drawing and writing and love to explore the creative side of children. I ski and love camping and rafting and outdoor adventures. I adore children and love spending time with them, learning about their interests and wildest dreams.

I look forward to meeting you and your family! I am a kindergarten teacher on summer break. Due to travel and other commitments over the summer, I am not available for a consistent babysitting schedule. I am looking for one-time babysitting opportunities for the months of June and July. I will not have any babysitting availability after July 31st. I moved to Salt Lake City from Vienna, VA in January 2020. As the oldest of seven children growing up, I have lots of experience with kids of all ages. I have current CPR and First Aid certification, valid through May 2028.
