Babysitting and Pet-Sitting Service

Hello!

My name is Anabel, and I’m a sophomore in high school in Arizona. I’m passionate about caring for both children and pets, and I bring years of hands-on experience to ensure your little ones, whether furry or not, are safe, happy, and well cared for.

I’ve been babysitting for 8 years, during which I’ve gained valuable experience and skills, including CPR training and a strong understanding of asthma care. I also have parent references who can vouch for my reliability and dedication to creating a fun, safe environment for kids.

When it comes to pets, I’ve had 14 years of experience taking care of my own three beloved pets, which has given me the ability to handle a variety of animal needs with love and responsibility.

In my free time, I enjoy art, photography, swimming, soccer, and running, which means I’m full of energy and creativity—perfect for keeping kids entertained and active!

I’d love the opportunity to provide you with dependable and caring babysitting or pet-sitting services. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your needs.

Why hire a babysitter

In this section we look at what services babysitters typically provide, how they're different to other carers, and the many benefits your family can enjoy when hiring a babysitter.

When to hire a babysitter

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.

How to find a good babysitter

Often the biggest challenge with hiring a babysitter is finding good candidates, to begin with. In this section, we reveal many secrets that you can use to attract the best local babysitters, we also explore alternatives to hiring babysitters that you may not have considered.

What makes a good babysitter

Finding a good babysitter is not an easy task, in this section, we highlight various qualities to look out for while you're gathering candidates for your open position. We also cover less commonly considered candidates such as male babysitters and answer commonly asked questions that parents have about them.

Babysitter interview tips

How you conduct your interview process is critical to identifying the most appropriate babysitter for your family. In this section, we run through a recommended babysitting interview format and provide tips and tricks that you can use to learn the most about your candidates. We also offer a huge list of good interview questions and how best to utilize them depending on your unique circumstances.

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.
