Hi there! I’m a Texas A&M graduate and Austin native with over 15 years of experience caring for children from newborns to age 12+. I previously worked as a medical assistant at Dell Children’s Hospital for four years, and for the past two years I’ve been a full-time nanny for two wonderful children, ages 1 and 2. As they transition into a school program, I am now seeking new opportunities to continue working with children. I have my own car with a clean driving record, am CPR certified, and am happy to help with meal/snack preparation as well as light housekeeping to support your family. I’d also be glad to provide references upon request. I look forward to connecting!

Olivia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia! I am currently working full-time in corporate sales in Austin, and I'm looking to babysit on evenings and weekends because working with kids has always been something | genuinely love and enjoy. I started babysitting at 15 years old in my church nursery, caring for children ranging from 3 months to 10 years old. Since then, I've worked with multiple families over the years and have also gained experience through roles in kids clubs at gyms, summer camps, and church programs. I have 8+ years of paid childcare experience, have taken multiple CPR courses, and have reliable transportation. I'm responsible, organized, patient, and safety-focused, while also making sure kids feel comfortable, engaged, and have fun. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little
