Welcome message:

Hi! My name is Abbigail. I’m 17 years old and a senior in high school and I truly love and enjoy working with kids. I have 6 years of experience caring for children of different ages. I began babysitting at 12 by caring for my 2 younger brothers and began babysitting my younger cousins at 13. I've babysat children ranging from 11 months to 15 years old. I’m responsible, caring, honest, and creative, with safety always being my top priority. I’m flexible and comfortable with making meals/snacks, playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, light housework, and pets. If there’s something you need that I didn’t mention, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know if I’m able to help. I’m CPR certified and I value clear communication with parents/guardians as well as I always follow rules, routines, and instructions.

Reliable Weekend Babysitter Available

Hi! and I’m a 16-year-old high school junior looking for a weekend babysitting job to help me save money and gain experience. This would be my first official job, but I’m responsible, patient, and excited to learn. I’m available on weekends and school days off, with more open availability during the summer. I love working with kids and creating a fun, positive environment for them. I’m part of a culinary program at school, so I can prepare simple, kid-friendly meals, and I’m also happy to do light cleaning to help keep things tidy. I can help with homework, keep kids entertained, and support their routines however I can.
