I have been babysitting since I was 14(6 years ago). I absolutely love kids. I started babysitting my little nephews and started getting referred to friends of friends and so on and now have probably babysat for over 10 different families.

Hello, I babysit/nanny for my little sister, who’s 7yrs of age now, babysat her for about 4-5 years occasionally sometimes when needed. I use to babysit and still do on occasion my sisters 1yr old now but younger at the time. I love babysitting for my aunts friends sometime when needed, I use to be a tiny toddler cheer coach as well that allowed me to work with kids and find more babysitter jobs and nanny jobs. I really like jobs where I can teach and help others I really like getting out in the world trying new jobs and things the world provides. I love nature and getting outside. I use to work at Reptile Gardens it was great! I also use to work at Watiki, to where I could teach kids to swim and watch them providing my help! I’m always looking for jobs or things that suit me the best! I really like having people be able to look up to me In all ways. I love being an inspiration to kids due to the fact I was an Allstar cheerleader for about 5 years as well, so I try lots of new things but always find myself babysitting again!

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.
