Why Do I Love Being a Sitter? I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. As a mother of one daughter who is now out of state attending dental school, I’ve always found caring for children incredibly fulfilling. Having just one child has made me treasure the opportunity to nurture and connect with kids, which is why babysitting feels so rewarding to me. Building trust with both children and parents is something I deeply value. What Experience Do I Have? I have extensive experience caring for children and also have a background in caring for the elderly, which has taught me patience, empathy, and responsibility. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I’m confident in managing their daily routines, ensuring their safety, and making their day enjoyable. What Skills and Training Do I Have? I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy incorporating it into caregiving, whether it’s helping bilingual families or teaching children basic words. While I’m still improving my English, I can communicate well and ensure clear understanding with both children and parents. I’m currently working on reactivating my CPR certification to ensure I’m always prepared. My skills include safely driving kids to and from school or activities, engaging in creative play, and assisting with light housework to help keep things running smoothly at home. I’m excited to bring dedication, care, and enthusiasm to your family!

Hello, I understand that finding a reliable babysitter can be a challenging task, and it's essential to choose someone who can take care of your child with love and compassion. I have been a babysitter for over two decades, and I have cared for children of all ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds. I have a deep understanding of how to organize children's activities, feed them, bathe them, and put them to bed, along with changing diapers and performing other necessary duties. In addition to babysitting, I have worked as an assistant and substitute full-time Pre-K teacher and a part-time religious education teacher. I have a clean criminal and driving record, and I am certified in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. I can also teach primary sign language, and I have received excellent feedback from both parents and children for my caring and compassionate nature. I understand that taking care of children is not just about feeding them and keeping them safe; it's also about providing them with a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. That's why I organize fun educational games, crafts, and outside activities for the children in my care. I can also run errands, grocery shopping, meal prep, and light household duties such as organizing closets, toy rooms, and basic accounting. I believe that children deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and understanding, and I always strive to provide them with the care and attention they need. I have an Associates Degree in Business and Drama, and I am a certified professional in Education, Childhood Development, and Learning Differences. I enjoy walking, outside activities, music, and arts & crafts, and I am confident that I can provide your child with the care and attention they require. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter. I am available to interview and to answer any further questions you may have. I can provide additional references upon request. Warm Regards - Debbie

🦋 Howdy, y’all! My name is Liz and I’m a Senior at UT Austin studying Art History. Here’s a bit about me. I grew up babysitting and working as a summer camp counselor. In 2023, I began teaching art classes to elementary school children through Young Rembrandts. Last summer, I took on a new role as a preschool teacher. Since then, I’ve continued my teaching with the addition of babysitting on the side. Both jobs have been a total joy. I’m an engaged caretaker who can play for hours, but I always make sure to sneak in some educational content. It’s really important for me to get kids moving and learning. I love to sing, dance, play make believe, read, watch movies, cook, clean, and learn about the world around us. I make sure to keep an open line of communication with parents, as they know what’s best for their child’s health and well-being more than anyone else. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified for a while, and I recently became certified in SIDS prevention and SBS prevention. I also have a Food Handler’s License! Safety is of utmost importance to me. Trusting your child’s safety with another person is something that I do not take lightly. If you’re looking for a reliable babysitter in the Austin area, I’m your gal! Please contact me with any questions you may have. 🦋
