Part-Time Caregiver, Babysitter

(4)
Greetings! NOTE - I do work a full-time job. My availability is limited to weekdays after 5 p.m. and anytime on the weekends. I charge my standard hourly rate for ALL in-person interviews. My reason for this, is because, I have had several interviews, with potential clients, who say they will call me, and they never do. My time is valuable to me as is yours. I have cared for children age range from infants to early teens. I can cook dinner, do bath-time, and bedtime routine. Currently I babysit for a 6 month girl weekly in the Tucker area. I also babysit two boys, ages 4 and 6, several times a month, they live in the Decatur area. Finally, I have several clients who call me at least once a month for a babysitting job.

Date Night Babysitter

I am a registered nurse with experience in the OR (mainly ENT, plastics, and other outpatient procedures). I started babysitting when my 2 daughters went off to college. When they were young, I enjoyed picking them up from school, taking them to volleyball, gymnastics, cheer leading, and acting classes. I also enjoyed making cookies with them and taking them to various historical sites and fun activities around town. I often helped them with homework. I speak a little Spanish, but not fluently. I am into nature and gardening. I love animals however, I am allergic to cats. I don't smoke, and can't stand being where I can smell it. I served on the Metro Council for 8 years, so I'm into politics. I can handle myself in difficult and stressful situations. I have excellent written and communication skills. I am available for date nights & for stay at home moms that need to run errands. I babysit in the Oak Hill, Forest Hills, Crieve Hall, Lipscomb, Melrose/Berry Hill areas of town.

My name is Widline and I am a baby nurse, a nanny/babysitter with over 10 years of experience teaching and caring for newborns and toddlers in private home and daycare. I am CPR, AED and First Aid certified. I love outdoors and I am a book lover. I plan child related activities with other nannies to keep child engaged; whether it's building blocks, reading or tummy time, it's always fun-time filled with excitement and games. I also prepare nutritious meals and encourage children to have a well-balanced diet, depending on the family. I love everything about babysitting/being a nanny, I love seeing the smile on the family's faces when they get home and everything is better than they ever expected; a picked up house and happy kids. I love seeing a child's face light up, experiencing all the great and first baby moments. Thank you for reading my bio. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon and hopefully meeting soon)

Greetings! Thanks for considering me for your care needs. A little about me: I'm an experienced nanny and babysitter who started way back in Middle School, High School, & all the way throughout college. I absolutely love children and believe they are the key to our future. Having a quality upbringing and support can shape them into the adults we hope them to be someday. Beyond my passion for children, I have been an asset to parents alike in helping them with housework- cooking, cleaning, laundry, & more. Aided with my care has provided them valued time to step away for work, sports/hobbies, date nights, vacations, etc. My experience includes working with children of all ages, before & after school, weekends, and overnights while parents have been away. Also, I've been a volunteer camp counselor for the YMCA. I have a resume, references, & reviews from families I've supported over the years- would be happy to share & answer any questions. Please reach me anytime.

Nanny/Babysitter

Responds within 6 hours

Hello my name is Nancy and I have done child care since 1973 both in child care facilities and private homes. In 1996, I opened my own childcare in my home and maintained this with 5 to 6 children until January 2011. Due to the economic conditions it was becoming difficult to maintain this level of children and I felt it was time for me to redirect my efforts and care for children in their own home. I have taken care of many children from birth to school age. Children eagerly respond to me and I love caring for them. I am CPR and first aide certified. I have good transportation. I am very dependable and I can provide excellent references.

My name is Missy and I am great with kids. I graduated from The University of Michigan and majored in Psychology including taking many child development and early childhood education courses. I have a lot of experience working with kids ranging from newborns, toddlers, young children to preteen kids. The majority of the children I care for are located on Marco Island; however, if it is a good fit for both parties, I am happy to drive to the Naples area . My families I work for range from locals who live here permanently on the island as well as those who or are in town visiting and need the extra assistance. I consider myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to grow close and bond with the children I have cared for thus far. I am especially eager to reconnect with the children and families who come here for vacation and am always amazed to see how they have grown since I last saw them. Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of help!

My girls (3 & 5) LOVE Missy! She has been an amazing nanny during our 5 month stay. She provided my girls with a structured day including a morning adventure walk or scooter ride and was excellent at effectuating online school classes for the girls. She always found time to make them great snacks and lunches and fitting in time to get on the floor and play Barbies with them. Missy goes above and beyond by bringing magic shows and mermaid tails for swimming. We hope to see her again on our next trip. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about hiring Missy.

Victoria helped me keep an eye on my precocious 4yo for a few hours one weekend. While my particular hours ultimately didn't line up with Victoria, I would have been pleased to have a more reoccurring schedule with her. She'll be one of my contacts when I need a sitter in the future.

FAQs for finding a babysitter

What is the going rate for babysitters on Care.com?
The average rate for babysitters on Care.com as of September, 2021 is $14.00 per hour. This rate will fluctuate depending on your location, the babysitter's level of experience, and the number of children to be watched. Other factors that may also influence the rate include the need for additional babysitting duties, specialized care, and overnight care.
How do I find a babysitter for my kids?

Looking for a babysitter can feel like a daunting task. To make the process easier, you can start by outlining what you'd like from a candidate before starting your babysitter search. Think about the level of experience you wish them to have, if you want them to have any first-aid certifications, if you need them to handle additional duties such as driving kids around or helping with homework assignments, and how much you are willing to pay.

To start your search process on Care.com, start by creating an account and answering a few questions to find babysitters that match your needs. You will then have the option to either post a job that can be seen by our extensive pool of caregivers or search babysitters from the platform based on years of experience, hourly rate, availability, distance from your area, etc. After you have selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, request additional background checks, and hire the sitter who best meets the needs of your family.

Are babysitters background checked?
Yes, babysitters on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Babysitters who complete this background check will have a badge on their profile displaying the date it was run. While CareCheck is a good start, we strongly recommend that you follow some additional steps for hiring a babysitter safely, which include interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check. Visit our Safety Center to learn more.
What should I ask a babysitter during an interview?
In order to get to know if the candidate is a good fit, focus your interview questions around their previous experience, their babysitting style and personality, their previous training and skills, as well as any specific requirements to be performed on the job. It is very common to schedule a paid trial where you can be present while they care for your children. This is a great way to find out if the babysitter is a good match for your family and if your kids feel comfortable too.
