"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

I loved babysitting growing up and have always enjoyed spending time with children. Over the past year, I worked at a school for children with autism spectrum disorder, where I developed strong attentiveness, patience, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to each child's individual needs.
“Elizabeth is a great caregiver! She's attentive, smart, and hard working. She's going to medical school and will be a great doc.”

Born and raised in Colorado. Grew up with two younger brothers. Babysat for family friends and lots of families from church. I have experience with all ages!
Kandace $20 per hour for 1 child
As fourth of eight kids, chaos and childcare have always been second nature. I grew up babysitting all over my neighborhood and never really stopped. These days, working in a K–12 school keeps the kid-wrangling skills sharp, and being the favorite aunt of 12 adds plenty of fun to the mix. Happy to bring energy, patience, and laughter to your crew!
Lucy $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I have experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, and I love making people’s lives easier. I worked over 2 years in a senior living facility, plus babysitting and pet care for families in my community. I’m reliable, patient, caring, and I enjoy helping with daily routines, activities, and companionship. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide dependable care!

Hi - My name is Ashlyn! I am a young working professional living in Highland, UT. I’m originally from AZ and moved to UT at the beginning of 2024. I have been babysitting for 10+ years and have experience with a wide range of children and families, from infants to 14 years old (even twins)! I am more than happy to help with light housework, organizing, laundry, cooking/meal prep, driving kids to extracurriculars, running errands, and homework! In my free time, I enjoy crafting, baking, reading & hiking with my dog! I look forward to meeting you & your family! 🩷
