I’m a 25 year old student going to school for nursing currently. My long term goal is to work in Labor&Delivery, NICU or pediatrics. I’ve always had a passion for helping children and have always enjoyed caring for them. Ever since I was old enough I’ve been involved with kids. Including taking care of my siblings. I’m the middle child so I helped out with the 2 younger ones. But from working in Nursery at Church to doing full time live in positions I’ve always been around kids.
Hi my name is Raegan, I am new to babysitting but I want to get out there, I have four siblings so I am experienced with kids. I have a ten year old brother who has autism. And I have a new born niece. I hope I can help out you family!
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Tulsa for work.

I absolutely love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to make a positive impact in children’s lives. Growing up with several siblings, I’ve always been surrounded by young ones, and that has given me a natural understanding of how to care for kids in a way that’s both fun and supportive. I have a younger brother who is autistic, which has further deepened my ability to be patient, empathetic, and creative in my approach to caregiving.
Though I may not have professional sitter training, my hands-on experience with my brother and other children has taught me how to engage with kids of various needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with creating a structured yet flexible environment, making sure everyone feels heard, supported, and safe. I’m skilled in managing routines, promoting social interactions, and finding ways to make daily tasks enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone with a genuine love for kids and a background that includes patience and adaptability, I’d love the opportunity to sit for your family!
