Ready to experience the best babysitter that your kids will be disappointed you came home? Hello, I am interested in becoming a babysitter for you! My name is Tenia. I have been working with children and adolescents my entire life, and have been working on Sittercity for a few years now, and have been working with the same families for 2-3 years as well. Working with children is my passion, whether it is therapeutic or fun! I don’t have any children of my own so looking over other families' children fills my baby/kid fever! I treat all children as if they were my own and I love watching them grow each day! You will not have to worry about leaving your children in my care! I strive to make sure both you as the parent and your children are comfortable so you can have peace while you are away from Read more your kiddos! I am currently CPR-certified and will provide documentation if needed. I can drive children to activities, watch children at your home, watch children at my home, help with homework, prepare meals, and teach healthy skills. I have been babysitting for many years and these rates are based on my experience and quality of work! However, I am open to discussing prices! I am easygoing and welcome communication of any sorts! I believe all parents should be able to have access to babysitting care. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos! If you are happy with my services, please leave a review! :) If you are not happy, let’s talk! I am very open to feedback and criticism! I have a family that you can contact as a reference if needed! :)

Tenia is extremely friendly, personable and professional. I was so impressed with her background and experience that I was more than willing to go above my budget to hire her. My daughter felt very comfortable around her. We're very excited to keep welcoming her into our home!
