Abby 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
$25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m currently working as a medical assistant and would love to hang out with your kids! I am energetic, love the outdoors, and have been babysitting for about 13 years. I prefer playing games outside or doing crafts/baking/etc inside than screen time with the kiddos but am flexible and go with the flow. I am a recent college grad and can help with homework or projects too. Let me know if you have any questions!
“Abby is so fun! She works really well with kids of any ages and they all love her. She’s baby sat all of my kids (8mo, 5, 8) and they all seem to like her which is hard to come by. I also love that she’s in the medical field because it gives that added confidence that she can handle anything, which as an anxious mama, is huge. She’s reliable, responsible, and quick to answer text messages. My husband and I couldn’t recommend her more.”

$26 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old with ages 1 yr up to 12 years old. Additionally, I grew up in a big family taking care of my nieces and nephews since they were babies. I have a full time job as a behavior technician providing ABA therapy for kids with Autism and have worked in this field for the past 5 years with ages ranging from 2 years old to adulthood. I love babysitting and would love more opportunities to do so! Love engaging kiddos in crafts, homework, games, and fun activities.
“Mabel is such a caring and wonderful babysitter! She is so sweet and my 2 kids adore her. She is reliable and always on time and is flexible with her hours. She has great professional experience with kids and our children always look forward to spending time with her. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and experienced babysitter.”
