Hi, I’m Riley! (I go by my middle name). I’ve worked as a coach at our local rock climbing gym for the last 2 years, and I’ve been Head coach of our 4-8 year old team for around 6 months.

I love socializing and playing with kids, especially pretend, games, and arts and crafts! I am CPR and First Aid trained, and I have a drivers license and car.
My name is Isabelle and i’ve been babysitting kids for 3 years. I am an older sister so i’m naturally patient, responsible, and friendly towards kids.

Energetic Babysitter Ready to Keep Your Kids Safe and Happy
Hi families! I'm a patient, hands-on babysitter who genuinely loves hanging out with kids and helping busy parents catch a break.

I really respect a family’s daily structure, so you can count on me to keep bedtimes on track and the house tidy. My goal is to be the person your kids are actually excited to see walk through the door, and the reliable helper you can completely trust.

When I was in high school I took child development and early childhood education classes. In my child development classes I learned how children develop from the womb to adulthood. I also learned important lessons on first aid and CPR on children ages 2-6. In my early childhood educations classes I was responsible for teaching and taking care of children ages 3-4. I would create projects for them to do depending on their age, each catering to their abilities. I would help them with play time, reading, and arts and crafts.
