More Than a Sitter—A Mentor, Homework Helper & Friend Hi, I'm Electra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a
Hi, I'm Elektra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a passion for working with children and helping them thrive. With over five years of childcare experience caring for younger family members and two years of professional babysitting experience, I've learned that every child deserves a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can be themselves.
I love staying engaged with the children I care for, whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, doing creative activities, or simply being a patient and encouraging presence throughout their day. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy fostering curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning.
Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is not just to provide childcare, but to be someone children feel comfortable with and someone parents can trust with confidence.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Norfolk for work.

Hi! I’m a 16-year-old in Norfolk with 3 years of neighborhood babysitting experience. As a homeschooled student taking online courses through Arizona State University, I offer a flexible schedule. I care for my German Shepard and chickens, so I'm comfortable with pets. I also volunteer for the Step Up Tutoring non-profit.
I'm a caring and enthusiastic babysitter with one year of official experience working with young children, including working in preschool previously and my current participation in job shadowing at Head start. Unofficially, I have been a 'Parent-Helper' for my mom's friends whilst they stayed at my home from ages 13 to current. I'm passionate about engaging children through fun activities like drawing, reading, crafting, music, and games. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and providing homework assistance. Although I'm still attending vocational-technical training, I have the skills and energy to give your children a wonderful experience. I'd be excited to meet your family and learn more about your needs!

Hey, I’m a junior at Vanderbilt University working an internship this summer at the US Attorney's office. I have gone through extensive background checks and have grown up helping out with my younger sister, who is 9 years younger than me. I love being around kids and I would be happy to help at anytime! Additionally I grew up with pets and have spent extensive time with dogs. Ready to start whenever!
I am 16 years old, a junior in high school, and I love to work with kids, as I have two younger sisters. Any opportunity I was offered to babysit, I immediately accepted. I am also willing to pet sit. I have a dog myself and I love him a lot. I am capable of taking care of many animals if I am just told the basics of how to feed them and stuff. My mom is always available to drive me places since I don’t get my license until next July.
