Looking for work as a babysitter.

I first started on sitter city in 2008. It did not take long to meet and care for the children of several families. Many of the relationships were long term so I became inactive on the site. My last family moved just before Covid took hold. I had just updated my child infant CPR and first aid as I intended to start looking again. That didn’t happen because of Covid so I’m starting again now. I did raise 6 children of my own, worked as a nanny for 10 years and have been actively babysitting for Sittercity families for 10 years. I’m looking for occasional sitting opportunities in my area. I plan to renew my CPR soon and would love to interview with your family.

Mary babysat our 14-month-old daughter this past Saturday, and it was a wonderful experience. She was punctual, arriving 15 minutes early to get familiar with our home, and she communicated clearly throughout. Frankie warmed up to her quickly, and I could hear their sweet interactions through the baby monitor as Mary read her numerous books. I'll definitely be using her again for future babysitting needs!

Mary has babysat for our two girls twice now. She was on time, attentive to our daughters, and responsible. Her hourly rate was also very reasonable. We felt very comfortable with Mary watching our children. We have already scheduled her to watch them again.

Mary is the first one I call when I need a sitter for my infant daughter. She is extremely experienced with children, on-time, friendly and responsible. Mary even agreed to meet with me and my daughter ahead of time just to be sure we were a good fit for each other. As a new resident of Minnesota, it has been difficult to find a responsible and trustworthy sitter like Mary. She is truly a gem. We are very lucky that we found her on Sittercity and do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Mary has been sitting for us for over a year for our now 7 and 5 year olds. She does a great job with our kids; she is wonderful both at making sure what needs to happen happens (dinner, bedtime, clean-up) and is equally wonderful about creative play with the kids.

Mary did a tremendous job with our 21 month old and 3 yr old. She was extremely prompt, mature, gentle and kind. She quickly made a connection with our kids. She even cleaned up the kitchen and play area. We will definitely have her back again. Thank you, Mary!

Mary is fantastic. She is so patient and understanding. Our daughter is a little high strung and Mary handled her so well. Her knowledge of child development is amazing. We will continue to use her in the future for our 3 year old and 16 month old! Jenny

Mary did a wonderful job watching our two children, a 3 year old boy and an infant daughter. First off she had excellent references. When she watch our kids, we found her to be very gentle, kind, right on time, she even cleaned up afterward, which is hard to come by these days. I would highly recommend her to any family. We ourselves already have her set to come for two more dates.
