Betsy's Bio

Hello!

My name is Betts and I started babysitting when I was 11 years old, so that gives me 40+ years of experience. I also worked in the Escondido School District for 20 years, with special needs children. In and amongst all of that, I helped raise 10 nieces and nephews who are all grown now, and have families of their own.

I am a grandma type babysitter who is loving and nurturing, but do not put up with...

Rachael P. says:
I have a nearly 3 year old daughter and a 10 month old son. As you can imagine, they can be a force to be reckoned with. As a stay at home mom, I need a few hours a week of just "me time". Betsy has done a wonderful job of taking care of the children. I feel completely confident that if there were an emergency, she could handle it. She keeps the activities rolling while I'm gone so that they are ready for... More

Betsy K. responds:
It's easy to do a good job taking care of kids when they are as good as your two babies! They are such a joy AND it's also easy when the mom and dad are such wonderful people! Thank you for your awesome review!
Cindi G. says:
I recently had a child care situation with Betsy. I know Betsy from senior care, and had introduced her to my daughter. Immediately, Betsy and my daughter who is 8 years old, bonded. My daughter asked when Betsy was coming to "babysit." I have not had a babysitter in 5 years.... however, I have had the need for a caregiver on overnight situations due to my corporate job. My daughter was completely enamored... More

Betsy K. responds:
AAAWWWWW, she is SUCH a sweetheart! I'm lucky to get to babysit the champion soccer player of all time!!! WOW! That girl really is good! I really shouldn't be telling you this but it's really not like babysitting, it's more like one looooong party. Girl talk, doing our nails and our hair, movies, popcorn, playing at the park, fun, fun, fun. It's almost like I'm 8 years old again, geeeeeeeeeeeeez, I should be... More
Yvonne W. says:
Betsy is a reliable child care provider, who is punctual and readily available in the event of schedule changes. This is important for the smooth running of our home. She is professional, caring and has our children's best interest at heart. Our two daughters adore 'Miss Betts' and look forward to seeing her in the mornings. Betsy has competently cared for our 7 year old and our 9 month for the last 6 months... More

Betsy K. responds:
Thank you so much, Yvonne! Your family is such a GREAT family, not only to work for, but so much fun to watch all the milestones of the baby and what a hard worker her big sister is in school. Thank you for sharing those with me!
Jennifer H. says:
This woman's choice of how to respond to my add, was to berate me on it. She decided that based on my add, she knew who I was as a person and a parent, and obviously it did not meet her standards. No one likes to be judge by strangers, especially in such a demeaning fashion. Betsy, please find a better way to spend your time than scrolling through job postings on this website and giving your opinion on them.... More

The truth is hard to handle sometimes, but I felt it necessary for your baby's sake. . .
Karin K. says:
Betts interviewed with us. I was reassured to find out she worked with a friend of my mother-in-law. She calls herself a bit of a baby whisperer and from our encounter I would not be surprised if that is the case. She seemed very comfortable with infants and it was nice to see her trying to get into their heads. I would like to have her work with us but need more hours. The four out of five stars are because... More
