eliable, CPR-Certified College Student with 4 Years of Babysitting Experience | Passionate About Kids & Pets

Hi, I’m Anala! I’m a college student with 4 years of babysitting experience and a genuine passion for caring for children. I’m CPR and BLS certified, so you can feel confident knowing I’m prepared to handle any emergency situation with care and calmness.

I pride myself on being an honest, trustworthy, and great communicator—qualities that I believe are essential when building a strong relationship with both kids and parents. Whether it's engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, or simply making sure your little one feels safe and comfortable, I’m committed to providing a positive, caring environment.

I also love pets, so if you have furry friends at home, I’m more than happy to care for them as well!

If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and caring to watch over your child (and pets!), I’d love the opportunity to help!

Active, Engaging Care for Your Kids and Pets – Ready When You Need Me!

Hello! I’m thrilled to share a bit about myself and my passion for babysitting and petsitting. I believe in creating a fun and engaging environment, whether I'm babysitting children or caring for pets. I love getting involved in kids’ interests, from building epic Lego structures to playing their favorite games or helping with homework. My goal is always to make our time together enjoyable and enriching. When it comes to pets, I’m equally enthusiastic. I adore spending time with animals, whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or simply providing comforting company. Each pet has its own personality, and I love discovering what makes them happiest. I pride myself on being active and adaptable. Whether it’s a last-minute babysitting request or a need for overnight pet care, I’m here to help. Flexibility is key in my approach, ensuring that I can meet the unique needs of every family I work with. Being a part of your family’s life, even for just a short while, is a privilege I cherish. Let's make every moment count!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Wedding Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a wedding babysitter to make sure the little guests are happy and the adults can celebrate stress-free.

1. Hire early

Secure babysitters well in advance, as weddings often fall on busy weekends.

2. Check experience

Choose sitters with proven childcare experience, ideally with multiple children and event settings.

3. Run background checks

Verify references, qualifications, and certifications (like CPR and first aid). See our guides for more information:

4. Ask about ratios

Make sure there are enough sitters for the number and ages of children attending. You may need to hire multiple wedding babysitters.

5. Clarify duties

Define whether babysitters are supervising during the ceremony, reception, or in a separate childcare room.

6. Provide entertainment

Ensure babysitters bring or can organize age-appropriate games, crafts, and activities.

7. Discuss meals

Plan ahead for kid-friendly food and snacks that babysitters can easily serve.

8. Set boundaries

Decide on locations where kids will stay (kids’ corner, separate room, outdoor space) and communicate rules.

9. Plan for bedtime

If the reception runs late, arrange a quiet area or sleeping setup for younger children.

10. Keep parents informed
