CPR-Certified, Experienced, and Caring Babysitter Ready to Support Your Family

My name is Elizabeth Cooke, and I am a responsible, caring, and energetic student at Providence High School with extensive experience working with children. As a Life Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, I have developed strong leadership skills and a commitment to safety, teamwork, and service. I am CPR certified, trained in first aid, and have put these skills into practice while volunteering at Camp Boomerang, a program for children with special needs and diverse disabilities. That experience taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and creating a supportive environment for every child.

Beyond my volunteer work, I am actively involved in activities that require dedication and responsibility, including Mock Trial, French Club, Winter Track, Orchestra, and over 13 years of dance training. These commitments have strengthened my time management, creativity, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I approach babysitting with enthusiasm, reliability, and a genuine love for helping children learn, grow, and feel safe.

Hello! I am 17. I can drive myself to and from your house most of the time. I cannot care for non-potty trained children. I can cook kid-friendly and filling meals, read to your children, clean up any child detritus, take them outside and basically just entertain. I am happy working alone or with you in the house. I always listen to house rules and prefer a scree-free environment while I am supervising your children. I can do simple first aid. I love being outside and am happy to teach your kids how to safely be in nature. I can do english and science tutoring. I can also do wind-downs and put your kids to bed, including brushing teeth.

My rate is 12 dollars/hr for one child, 14 dollars an hour for two children and 17 dollars/hr for three. My age range is 4 to 12 years. I need the kids to be potty trained, and I cannot bathe your children. I also will need to be able to leave around nine, but that is adjustable with communication.

I live in charlotte and can’t really make it unless you’re within about 40 minutes of me. Please message me so I can check if I can make it. Huntersville is about as far as I go.

I can care for autistic and other special needs kids as long as they are potty-trained. I have some experience handling autistic kids. I love hearing about special interests and I like to keep a quiet, routine-driven environment.

I appreciate being filled in on household rules and routines. I always observe these rules. If I have free time I can do chores such as laundry (as a rule I get the house back to the same shape as when I arrived), and if I’m putting your kids to sleep I am happy to do some housework after they’re down.
