America $18 per hour for 1 child

Currently a sophomore at the University of Utah, studying English. 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 11. And more recently have done some house sitting. I can cook, drive, and handle other tasks. I strive to be clean, detail oriented, honest, and kind :)

Alli $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alli, and I'm an experienced and caring nanny looking for a new family to work with. I have about 3 years of experience, mainly working with younger children and infants, so I'm very comfortable with newborn care, feeding schedules, diapering, and creating a calm, safe environment. I truly love working with kids and helping them grow through those early stages. I'm patient, reliable, and always focused on making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am CPR certified and have EMT training, so safety is always a top priority for me. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with whatever your family needs. I'd love to connect and see if I'd be a great fit for your family!

I’m 60 years young, a non smoker, CPR and first aid certified, plus I am a Mom myself. I started babysitting again about 5 years ago. I missed having children in my life, especially since my son doesn’t have children of his own. I am now a regular sitter for multiple families here in Salt Lake. I have been with some of them for several years. They would be happy to provide references. I love to color with children and do arts and crafts. I like all kinds of board games. If you need meal preparation, I'm an excellent cook. I have a Chihuahua of my own so I am animal friendly. I even have experience caring for bearded dragons!

Hello! I am transplant to Utah and enjoyed babysitting as a hobby in DC before my move! I am very much so a people person I spend lots of time networking and performing on stage in front of hundreds of people. When it comes to kids they tend to love me because I am high energy, funny, creative, but also very responsible. While making sure kids have fun I also make sure they are in a safe environment and doing things that promote good behavior. For instance, playing games such as Simon Says, Follow the Leader, Obstacle Course, Reading. All those games are fun but they also learn problem solving. I also have plenty of experience babysitting and working with children. Since the age of 10 I started a mothers helper business with the moms in my neighborhood. As I got older I began to babysit children on my own between the ages of 1 to 10. Along with being a babysitter I also served as a camp counselor for four years teaching acting,singing and dancing to five and six year olds. So by the end of the night your kids may want to put a show on for you once I leave. I truly love spending time with children as they are the hope for a better society. Hopefully you see my application and you can tell that I am serious and ready for the job! Hope to hear from you soon. PLEASE NO DIRTY HOUSES! Please do not request a booking if time is under 3 hours and hourly compensation is less than 20 dollars. If their is not ample unrestricted or free parking. Parking compensation is requested. Best,
