Hello! My name is Layla, My experiences with children are babysitting for my mom’s two co-workers! I once babysat three children at once; ages 5, 3, and 2 . The other experiences was a young child about age 3. I know how to change diapers, cook decent meals, engage in age appropriate activities, and many more things! Though, my favorite things to do are learning activities to prepare younger children for school. I love children & I like babysitting as to prepare for when I have my own someday.

Welcome message:

Hi, I’m Mia, I am 17. As a caregiver with five years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. My previous babysitting roles ignited a desire within me to make a positive impact on young lives, and I find great joy in supporting families by providing reliable childcare options.

My patient and calm nature, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, allows me to connect easily with children and create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and ensure regular updates about their child's day, using their preferred method of communication.

When it comes to enforcing household rules, I follow the parents' lead, ensuring consistency and respecting their parenting style. I enjoy engaging children in a variety of games, including board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
