Booked by 97 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! I’m Melissa! I work full-time in Project Management Monday–Friday and offer occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends. I have 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through teens. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have experience with everything from regular date-night sitting to overnight and travel-based care. I’m also a mom to a 2-year-old daughter, so I know firsthand how much patience, flexibility, and fun little ones need! I’m a hands-on sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love doing arts & crafts, playing games, getting outside for walks or playtime, reading books, or winding down with a movie. I always try to make babysitting feel fun and comfortable while keeping your child’s routine and your parenting style in mind. When I’m not working or babysitting, I love traveling, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. I’m also a huge animal lover with two cats and a dog, so I’m more than happy to care for your furry family members too! 😊

Booked by 89 families in Elgin, TX

Hello parents! My name is Fabi. I’m 32 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 19, including 5 years as a private elementary school teacher, over 6 years as a professional nanny and babysitter and six months in a daycare. I have a degree in education with a focus on ESL. My approach when babysitting is to try and engage children in games, reading, imaginative play, and also I love to do arts and crafts projects as a form of interaction. I always bring super fun activities with me! The majority of my experience has been with new born up to 15 years. I love kids! I’m a proud mom to a strong 3-year-old who spent significant time in the NICU. That journey gave me valuable experience in infant care, thanks to the guidance of wonderful doctors and nurses. (Please note: My son does not come with me to bookings.) I am appreciated by families for being responsible, patient, nurturing, and kind, with a naturally warm and cheerful personality. I deeply believe that children thrive when they feel genuinely understood, respected, and loved in a safe and supportive environment. On top of my experience with children, I’m also CPR certified, First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish and I also love furbabies! Some policies I stick to: All reserved hours, including early arrivals, are kindly requested to be honored, as this time is dedicated exclusively to your family. I appreciate as much notice as possible for cancellations. These cherished opportunities are currently my only source of income, and I sincerely appreciate your understanding and support. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your family! Thank you for visiting my profile!

Hi there!! I graduated from Texas State in 2020 with a Bachelor’s in exercise sports science, where I spent a good amount of time working with the special education population. I currently work with seniors at a retirement community. I have worked with a wide range of children, from newborns to school-aged and older. I am mostly available in the late evenings, or for your special date night on the weekends. My primary language is English, but I am also a novice at ASL (American Sign Language.) CPR/First Aid certified. Vaccinated.

Booked by 5 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! I’m Cassidy — a caring, reliable, and upbeat babysitter with 7+ years of childcare experience. I spent 2 years working in a licensed daycare caring for newborns and infants, and I’ve also babysat toddlers through middle-schoolers for many years. Im CPR certified. I’m comfortable with feedings, nap routines, bedtime transitions, activity planning, and developmental play. I’m naturally warm, patient, and bubbly, and I love engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities — whether that’s crafts, reading, outdoor play, creative games, or calm downtime when needed. I’m also happy to help with homework support, driving to activities, errands, and light household tasks, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m very organized and dependable, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment where children feel cared for — and parents feel supported. My goal is to not just watch your child, but to connect with them, encourage their confidence, and make your daily life a little easier. Looking forward to meeting your family!

“Will be booking Cassidy again! She was punctual and easy to communicate with. She's super sweet, my daughter loved her immediately.”

Booked by 1 family in Elgin, TX

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!

“Our kids loved having Bailey! They asked when she can come again, and to add her to our “favorites!””
