Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am 23 years old! I am currently an occupational therapy doctoral student at RUSH University. I love working with kids and hope to be a pediatric occupational therapist when I graduate. Throughout college, I worked at a therapeutic day school for children ages 2-7. I also have several years of babysitting experience with children ranging from 11 months to 15 years. I am CPR certified and Youth Mental Health certified, and am comfortable caring for children of different ages and needs. I am responsible, patient, and energetic, and always want to ensure the children I care for feel comfortable, safe, and have fun! I am currently looking for a flexible part-time babysitting position while in school. I also have my own car and am happy to help with transportation, activities, homework, and any other needs!
A Caring & Dependable Babysitter Who Loves Making Kids Feel Comfortable & Having Fun!
Hi! My name is Hana, and I’m a 17-year-old senior at St. Francis High School. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love getting to know their personalities, playing games, helping with homework, and creating a fun and comfortable environment for them.
I’m involved in National Honor Society and HOSA, and through NHS I’ve had opportunities to work with younger students and help them with their schoolwork. I’m also someone who is patient, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children.
I’m looking for a flexible babysitting or nanny position that I can balance with my senior-year schedule. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can rely on! 😊

I’m a Christian , who loves kids and aspires to be a preschool teacher. I love volleyball and doing nails.
Anyone looking for a full/part time babysitter? I’m 17 soon to be 18 and I have experience with elementary kids and kids between the ages of 5months to 12. I also have 4 siblings who I used to have watch 24/7. I’m available Monday through Saturday. Sundays are for church.
I'm 21 years old and am planning to go back into school soon for psychology. I'd ideally like to do babysitting jobs for children above the age of 7 as well as pet-sitting jobs for cats. I've owned many cats throughout my life since I was a child and I believe I have good knowledge of how to take care of them. I don't have experience working with children but I really want to! I think children are amazing and it'd be fun to hang around them and bring them enjoyment through cooking something nice, reading to them or playing games together, etc. I can also help with homework and whatnot as well. Through my experience working at cafes and different jobs, I have both learned how to clean up well and how to problem-solve/understand others well.
