Experienced Sitter :)

Hi! Welcome to my profile.

I'm an ENFP who loves making connections and bringing joy to both kids and pets! As an experienced babysitter and petsitter, I bring a warm, personable, and responsible approach to everything I do. Whether it’s caring for children or furry friends, I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and loving environment.

A little about me: I’m patient, empathetic, and adaptable, which helps me connect with kids and pets of all ages and needs. I’ve cared for children from toddlers to teenagers, and I’m comfortable with a variety of situations—whether it’s helping with homework, managing special needs, or engaging in imaginative play. I believe every child has unique interests, and I love finding ways to nurture their creativity and curiosity! In addition to my babysitting experience, I have a love for food and can help prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks, so you can rest assured your little ones are eating well when you're not around.

When it comes to pets, I’m a true animal lover and have experience with dogs, cats, and other furry friends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention to your pets as I would my own.

What I bring to the table: A versatile background with a cultural awareness that helps me relate to people and even furry friends from all walks of life. A responsible and trustworthy attitude—you can count on me to show up on time and keep things running smoothly. My educational and work backgrounds have helped me build my problem-solving skills and creativity and made me adaptable to a variety of situations and routines. I’m here to offer peace of mind, knowing your children and pets are in good hands with someone who truly cares. Let’s connect and see how I can help make your life easier!

I am willing to learn!

I am currently in online college for a degree in science, currently focused in growth and development. I currently work for ABC, which is therapy/childcare for children with autism across the spectrum from 8-5. I am looking for something closer to me, I LOVE children! I used to babysit when I was younger for my neighborhood (not included in my experience since I was young). I don’t have any certifications but I have taken classes for CPR and am willing to get certified if it makes the parent more comfortable and helps the safety of the child! I can cook and clean, I am willing to drive them around as I have my own car, and able to help with other tasks needed. I am available 7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. I am willing to be flexible most days. I can’t wait to meet you guys!

Hi Y'all!

My name is Anabelle! I love music and I have a passion for helping people in my community. I love working with kids and the children I sit will tell you that I love each and every one of them with all my heart! Besides the love and passion I have for helping children, I am CPR certified and I have taken first aid training with the Red Cross and I have tutoring experience so homework will never be an issue. None of my rates are set in stone! I just love the opportunity I have to get to know families in my community. Thanks for getting to know me! P.S. If you are looking for a sitter I can promise that I always leave the house cleaner than I found it :)
