I’ve been taking care of kids since I was around 12. I’m in university online working on my early education bachelor degree. When I was 17, I began to help in a special needs classroom. Many of the students were nonverbal, hard of hearing , or had autism. I worked in small groups of up to 5 kids at a time to help the with any class work they needed help with. I would love for you to have me help with your little ones!

I am 17 years old and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have cared for children from the ages of 0-10, and am comfortable with all ages. I am also comfortable with caring for multiple children at once, with varying ages. I take an ECE course at my school, where I am in a preschool several times a day working with children ages 3-5. Through that program, I got CPR certified. During the summer, I spent 2-3 days out of the week staying with a family member and helped care for their 4 children (ages 9, 6, 4, and 2). I also help in the toddler room at my church 1 Sunday a month.
I’m a 22 year old recent college graduate looking for babysitting/pet care work. I’ve worked with children in the past as a nanny, lifeguard, camp counselor, and voice teacher! My main career aspirations are to sing opera professionally.

Finding someone you trust with your children shouldn’t feel stressful it should feel reassuring. I’m a responsible and enthusiastic 16-year-old babysitter who brings energy, patience, and a natural connection with kids. Being closer in age means I’m able to relate easily, keep children engaged, and make babysitting genuinely fun while still following routines and rules set by parents. Whether it’s homework help, creative play, or calm bedtime routines, I take my role seriously and treat every family with care and respect. My goal is simple: to keep your kids safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
