Training: • Over 7 years of hands-on babysitting experience • Familiar with basic first aid and safety practices • Skilled at preparing meals/snacks, reading stories, playing games, and bedtime routines • Comfortable with light housework and pet care (including walking, feeding, and playtime)

I bring a warm, trustworthy energy to every family I work with and truly enjoy supporting parents while creating a safe and joyful environment for their children.

Hello, my name is Jordyn! I’m a college student looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. Growing up, I frequently cared for my 3 siblings, helping with school drop-offs, diaper changes, meal prep, and tutoring. One of my brothers is highly autistic and mute, and I took care of him most summers, which gave me experience in providing extra care and patience. I’m was in the gifted program at school and part of the “STARS Only” program, where I help advocate for special needs students by assisting with homework, encouraging sports participation, and offering peer-level support. Im majoring in psychology so studying the brain , so babysitting would be incredibly helpful. I do school online every day. I have minor babysitting experience, am patient, dependable, and approach challenges with a positive, problem-solving mindset. I’d love to hear from you and provide excellent care for your little ones!

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.
