Experienced & Fun Babysitter with 6 Years of Magic: Reliable Care Your Kids Will Love!
Hello! I love reading, tea, and exploring the outdoors. I am majoring in Anthropology but have worked in child care for over six years. My experiences range from being a private babysitter to being a lead teacher at daycare! I always bring an activity, game, or craft, depending on the child's interests and age. I limit screen time by keeping kids engaged in homework, activities, or other interests.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.

Experienced mom of four wanting to help with infant care.

I worked in childcare for over 10 years when my older children were babies, from 1997 until 2007. I worked mostly with infants to 1 year of age. I have four children, my oldest is 27 and my youngest is 5 and I have been married for 26 years. I have worked in the corporate world for quite a few years but because of the rising childcare costs and the economy I decided to stay at home with our son until he starts kindergarten next year. This is why I decided to post my services for infant care. Childcare is so expensive and I would love to help a family who needs care for their baby, and babies are in need of so much love and attention and I love staying busy. My two oldest children are out in the world on their own now, and having another little one around would be a blessing.

My name is Liliana and I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I have a ton of experience and love taking care of kids. I can entertain them as well as care for them but I don’t drive so I won’t be able to take them places but I still do amazing work. I also am CPR certified and am great at administering first aid. As for pets I’ve been professionally pet sitting for a couple years but I’ve had many pets since I was little including dogs, cats, lizards, and chinchillas. I am super excited to help families out but as I am still in school on weekdays I can only babysit starting at 3.
Hi! I’m excited to be able to give a helping hand whether it’s helping with your pets or children. I’m a 21 year old in my 4th year of college going for a degree in the sciences to pursue a job in the medical field, I am responsible and consistent as well as someone who is reasonable and has common sense, I do what needs to be done. I have experience dog sitting since I was a preteen as well as taking care of kids including watching over them, cooking, school work etc. and have worked with autistic children as well. I’m willing to work for 15 an hour, I do this as a side job with school so I’m not expecting typical pay like 20 an hour especially because of the seasonal type of schedule I have. Let me know if you’re interested!
Professional, dependable, and experienced, I bring trusted care to your pets, little ones, and home. With hands-on experience in childcare and animal care, I’m attentive, safety-minded, and committed to keeping routines running smoothly. You can relax knowing everything is cared for with reliability and respect
