I am a college student who also is going to be doing track in the spring! I am trying to make extra money here and there because I will not be able to work as much with school and practice in the way during my usual hours of work! I am 18 and have been babysitting for about 5 years now!
I am a stay at home mom and I have 5 little ones of my own Jana 7, Mason 6, Weston 5, Cecilia 3 & Olivia 1.5. I enjoy seeing kids having fun and smiling! Enjoying the simple things in life! It would be appreciated if I could babysit at my house if at all possible with having 5 of my own. But my kids are friendly and love to interact with other kids. I am very outgoing, caring, loving, friendly, my house is already busy with kiddos and would love to help others in need of babysitters because I know how hard it can be to find your little one a place to be at during work hours or errands to run or even a date night or night out! Please consider me, just want your little one to be comfortable here and hopefully would enjoy running around with my kids as well! Also we have a dog named Snowball she is really sweet.
I am a semi-retired licensed Registered Nurse with five grown children and four grandchildren. I have worked as a nanny full time, part time, and night nurse. I have done occasional work for families for nights out, special events, and sick children who cannot attend regular childcare. I have also covered babysitting services for a conference in the past. My experience includes all ages, multiple children, diabetics, and neurodivergent children. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager. I love children and animals and I spend my childcare time reading, playing, dancing, exercising, walking, and doing crafts. Our days are very busy and interactive. I try to make basic daily tasks fun to keep the children engaged and willing to do things like hand washing and clean up. I am patient, kind, and loving. I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record if transportation should be necessary. Pets are not a problem. I will happily feed, water, walk, brush, play with and/or check-in on your animals. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID (and a bunch of other stuff). I am clean and keep hand sanitizer with me. I am also certified in Basic, Advanced, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. I am open to light housekeeping duties, and I don't mind meal prep or cooking. Most people enjoy my cooking and I am health conscious and creative, but certainly respect that some children may have limited food preferences and/or allergies and I am willing to work within those limitations. I strive to provide a positive experience that is fun, safe, and comfortable, and allows you to feel secure in your choice, knowing your precious child or children are in good hands.
i love the opportunity to make peoples day to day life a bit easier and get to know you and your family! open to pretty much all extra chores, cooking and driving pickup/drop off, errands!
I'm a licensed Esthetician and also have 4 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. I have also worked in the health field as a nursing assistant. In the past, I lived in Hawaii as a full-time nanny caring for a 1- year old and 3- year old giving full time care and some overnight care. I also have nannied for a family with twins. I'm CPR + First Aid certified and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I'm skilled in meal prep, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and I have my own car. I'm patient, enjoy building connections with kids, and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!
