Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ella! I’ve loved working with kids from a young age, starting with babysitting and nannying for families. I then spent four years coaching youth rock climbing, where I became Head Coach and Assistant Programs Manager. I have experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including children with autism and other unique needs. I’m CPR certified, patient, responsible, and love being creative. I enjoy planning outdoor adventures and creating a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where every child feels supported. I’m currently in school studying Exercise Science and Nutrition, and I’m looking for a flexible opportunity to help families. I’m also happy to help with household errands, housesitting, and other tasks to make life a little easier! One thing to note is that I’m allergic to cats.

Booked by 11 families in Elberta, UT

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.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Elberta, UT

Prior elementary and current French dual immersion middle school teacher. Warm, trusted, loving and FUN! I’m a mother of 4 adults and grandma to 2 boys and a new granddaughter. Currently in a way-too-quiet Empty Nest. Due to varied skills and interests, I am offering reliable, caring, and skilled services for:    •   Childcare – engaging and safe care from a passionate teacher who can help prevent learning loss in summer months (I LOVE creating readers!)    •   Pet care – reliable pet sitting (bred 3 litters of English Labradors)    •   Home and garden care – house sitting, weekend errands    •   Outdoor adventures – Experienced boat driver and advanced snow skier (taught skiing to beginners and intermediates) Whether you need a last minute date night, weekend or summer sitter, or someone to keep your pets and home safe, I offer maturity, professionalism, and excellent references.

“Keri was fantastic! We booked her for two nights watching 6 kiddos, ranging from 4-12, while we were in town for a family wedding. Keri came in and seamlessly integrated herself with the kids and took over all situations (some nervous kids, some sleepy kids, some playful kids). With Keri being both a mom and a teacher we felt very at ease with her taking over such a big job. If we are ever in SLC again we would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks Keri!”
