Find a wedding babysitter in Bastrop, TX

Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

Hi there! I’m a certified behavior therapist with a year of experience working closely with children on the autism spectrum, helping them navigate milestones in fun, creative, and engaging ways. My passion for working with kids started early—I’ve been babysitting since I was 13, caring for large family households in my church. I also have extensive experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family, and I absolutely love all animals! With my positive, enthusiastic spirit, I’m always excited to tackle any task and give my best to every family I work with!

Hi, I’m Lizzie! I’ve been babysitting since high school, and my passion for working with children has only grown over the years. I’m currently working toward a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I love expanding my knowledge and skills to help children thrive. My career in childcare began at a nonprofit organization for deaf children called No Limits, where I gained valuable experience supporting diverse learning needs. That role inspired me to become a preschool teacher at Primrose School, where I worked with 3-year-olds and deepened my love for early childhood education. Most recently, I nannied for two infants in a nanny share until they began daycare. Along with babysitting, I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage early learning and development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m currently available for date nights, backup care, and part-time positions, and I look forward to connecting with new families!
