Leilah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leilah and I'm a recent graduate of SMU. I am almost a Certified Medical Assistant with hopes to apply to nursing school soon! I have all the first aid training needed as well as CPR due to my degree in Anatomy and Physiology. I have been babysitting and nannying since my freshman year of college with ages ranging from 3 months to 15 year olds. I care tremendously about making sure the family I work with is satisfied and comfortable with my work. I am a very caring, loving, and a kindhearted person. I absolutely love taking care of children and would love to lend a helping hand wherever I can!

Anna $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Anna. I am a high school graduate and hoping to start college in the spring. Right now I am coaching soccer with young children aged 2 to 12. I am the middle child of three daughters and have experience helping out with my younger sibling and also babysitting since I was in high school. I grew up with two cats and a large dog so I am very experienced with pets. I love caregiving because it makes me feel like I am doing something rewarding and meaningful. I enjoy being with children and doing sports, arts and music with them.

“She arrived early, and was sweet and friendly. My 1 yr old daughter took to her right away. Received updates and took great care of her. She filled in last minute when our other sitter canceled. Would use her again.”

Katherine $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve always been surrounded by kids and genuinely love spending time with them! I have 11 years of experience helping a family with three girls and two boys, 2 years of experience watching up to eight children while their parents played tennis, and 3 years of experience caring for a family with four boys. I also come from a big family with lots of cousins, so being around children has always been a natural part of my life. More recently, I’ve enjoyed helping care for my 7-month-old nephew. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing multiple kids at once, and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy!

Molly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a responsible, dependable, and outgoing person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have a calm, patient personality and am someone you can count on to be organized, attentive, and adaptable. I love being active, getting outside, and making everyday activities fun! I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in someone’s care. I’m also a huge animal lover! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m very comfortable caring for furry family members, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention and love. I’m happy to help with household tasks and whatever else makes your day a little easier. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where both kids and pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for!
