Anna G 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Austin, TX

Hi! My name is Anna, I am a college student at UT Austin in my junior year of college. I absolutely adore children and I have worked as a babysitter throughout high school and college in various capacities. I have experience with all ages, and have worked as a regular babysitter for a child from age 5 to 9. Along with babysitting, I have worked as a tutor for elementary and middle-school aged children, a soccer coach for toddlers (aged 3 to 5), and a camp counselor for pre-teens. A little about me: I am studying environmental science in college with the goal of eventually going to law school to pursue environmental law. I am originally from Seattle, and come from a family of 3 brothers (1 younger, 2 older) who are my best friends. Some of my interests include yoga, hiking, reading, and music. I am available for a broad-range of work, and am happy to cook and clean as needed. I have reliable transportation, but do not have my own car here in Austin so I am unable to regularly transport kids in my own vehicle.

Anna is wonderful and my daughter loved her. She’s incredibly dependable, responsive and prompt. I would highly recommend her to babysit and would definitely hire her again!

Booked by 3 families in Austin, TX

My name is Aralyn, and I have more than 2½ years of professional caregiving and childcare experience working with children and individuals who require compassionate, attentive support. For over a year, I have worked as a Child Development Assistant while also providing babysitting services for families. My background in both childcare and direct care has strengthened my ability to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. I am CPR certified and trained in Safe Sleep practices and the Heimlich maneuver, and I prioritize every child's safety and well-being above all else. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence, whether that means reading books together, completing puzzles, making crafts, exploring the outdoors, visiting the park, or simply joining children in the activities they enjoy most. I believe every child learns differently, and I strive to build meaningful relationships by supporting their unique personalities, interests, and developmental needs. In addition to my childcare experience, I currently work as a Direct Care Partner, providing compassionate assistance to individuals with disabilities. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, adaptability, and attention to detail while reinforcing the importance of treating every person with kindness, dignity, and respect. These experiences have made me a dependable caregiver who remains calm under pressure and is committed to creating positive experiences for the families I serve. I am a rising senior at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in African and African Diaspora Studies. My education has deepened my understanding of child development, movement, health, and wellness, and I hope to use this knowledge to continue making a positive impact on children's growth and overall well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, reading, spending time with family and friends, and staying active. I am a patient, dependable, energetic, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to building trusting relationships with families and providing dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a positive, enriching experience for their children

We are so happy we found Aralyn here! She is so sweet, accommodating, and I could tell the kids really liked her. We would definitely book again :)

Booked by 2 families in Austin, TX

Hi! My name is Bailey! I am a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee and I’m so excited to start my new job as a pediatric ICU nurse at Dell Children’s Hospital. While in college I spent a year working in the Neonatal ICU, which made me fall in love with caring for infants and children of all ages. My background in nursing has given me tons of hands-on experience, and I’m certified in CPR and first aid, so you can always count on me to keep your little ones safe. I’m great at coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities and believe in the magic of interactive play. I just moved to Austin and am looking for part-time babysitting jobs. I adore kids and would love to share my skills and care with your family. Plus, I love all pets and can dog sit too!

Very helpful and great communication
