I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, working at a gymnastics facility, and assisting with special education students during high school. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals or snacks when needed. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to arrive on time and help with school pick-ups, activities, or errands if needed. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing dependable care you can trust.
“McCall has been with us for about 6 months now. She’s one of the sweetest, kind, caring girls we know. She’s great with our girls and pets. Shes never once been late and is available for our date nights as well. I highly recommend her.”

Hello! Caring for children and babies is what I do best. As a natural empath and caregiver, I feel it's a skill that just kind of exists for me organically. I think children deserve to be seen and heard, and their feelings matter. I love to have fun and be silly, but am also very calm. I've had parents describe me as their child's "first friend" (let me grab a tissue), which I think is a lovely and fulfilling role to have.
“I chose “other” because my answer is “all of the above”! I’ve known Emily for many years and we’ve worked together, we’re friends, she’s helped me with my kids, all of it! She is amazing with kids and though we are not related, she will always be “Auntie” to my kids. She’s very gentle and kind, but knows when to tell kids no. She’s really patient and understanding with kids and the different emotions they go through. She is very neat and always on time and I would recommend her to any family who needed help with their child care needs!”

Hi! My name is Allison and I'm currently a Junior in college, starting nursing school this fall! I have worked with kids for the past 8 years, volunteering in the nursery (infant-1) and preschool (2-5) at my church, frequent babysitting jobs, as well as nannying for two children aged 2 and 6 for 3 years. I helped the family I nannied for with cleaning up, cooking, pickups/dropoffs, homework help, bedtime routines, and morning routines! I am very energetic and love to play games/engage with kids. I have my CNA license and am CPR and First Aid certified! I am very patient, caring, and more than happy to go the extra mile for your family!
“Allison was absolutely wonderful! She was available on very short notice and was even flexible enough to stay an extra hour when we needed her. My son absolutely loved her! They spent so much time playing together, and she was incredibly patient, attentive, and engaged. I especially appreciated that she gave him her full attention and wasn’t on her phone at all. She’s dependable, caring, and genuinely great with kids. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families!”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
