Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Maddie and I am a student at Tulane. I have been babysitting children from ages 3+ over the past 6 years and am open to sitting for all ages. I am very responsible and make sure to follow parents’ orders very closely while ensuring the kids are having the best time possible. Some of my applicable strengths are cooking/baking, doing craft projects, and helping with homework/tutoring. Additionally, I have grown up with many pets my entire life and love animals. I am willing to sit any type of pet!

Hey, I'm Destiny, 28 years young and armed with 4-5 years of experience in the trenches of daycare centers. My most recent adventure was at the Jewish Community Center summer camp (2026). What makes me a great caregiver, you ask? Well, I'm all ears, and I don't mind lending a hand with light housework and pet care. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
“Destiny was so great with our twin four year olds and had perfect instincts for how to keep them engaged, how to distract them when we were leaving, and how to make them feel safe in a new city with a new caretaker. I would highly recommend her!”

Booked by 1 family in Metairie, LA
I am an experienced pet sitter and house sitter living in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. I primarily take care of dogs and cats, but I have also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, and one very large Vietnamese pot belly pig. I am available for walks if nearby, but I primarily do overnights and stay with the animals in their own home while their people are away for work or vacation. I also take care of looking after the household while you are out of town.
“Katie is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She recently cared for our two Pomeranians, Loki and Watson, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy, and loved while we were away. From the moment we met Katie, her warmth and genuine love for animals were immediately clear. She took the time to understand their routines, quirks, and personalities, which put us completely at ease. Loki and Watson can be a bit high-maintenance, but Katie handled them like a pro. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed they were in her care. It’s clear she treated them like her own pets. When we returned, they were calm, content, and even better behaved—Katie’s care and attention made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Katie is the one. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism deserve more than five stars! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
Justice $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m an online college student and a dependable, caring babysitter with experience caring for kids of all ages. I’ve also interned at a summer camp. I love keeping children engaged with dancing, crafts, reading, and playtime, while also making sure routines like meals, naps, and homework get done. Families can count on me to be responsible, patient, and fun I truly care for every child.
