Hi, I'm Kristi! I'm a recent grad from UT Austin with a Neuroscience degree as well as a minor in health communications. I am seeking babysitting & or mother’s helper opportunities. I work full time as a medical assistant and looking to pick up some extra side gigs whether that be date nights or coming a few hours on Saturdays or weekday nights to help with household tasks. I have extensive experience working with children across a broad range of ages (infant to late elementary). I have loved getting able to support families in this way and being able to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for the kiddos!What you can expect from me is clear, responsive communication. I will not be on my phone while your child is in my care but rather will be playing an active role in their routine and play time!

Hi! I’m a recent graduate from the University of Texas. I have extensive experience babysitting and taking care of children. I recently was a youth soccer coach where our goal was to have fun and teach character-building through soccer. I am very patient, responsible, and am CPR trained and First Aid certified. I’m looking to find a couple families that need a frequent babysitter or afternoon nanny while I look for a full time position in my field.

Hi! I am a graduate student currently getting my Ph.D. in Combined School & Clinical Child Psychology. I have 14 years of experience in babysitting and tutoring children and adolescents. I worked in schools and in-home settings working with children who have ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and social-emotional needs. As a caregiver my ultimate goal is to make sure each child's physical and emotional needs are met. I am also CPR certified. I believe having a babysitter should be an enjoyable and collaborative experience. I am personable, patient, kind, and detail-oriented. I'm always reliable and punctual.

Hey y'all! I'm currently a grad-student at The University of Texas at Austin. I'm originally from Mountain Brook, Alabama, and I graduated from the University of Georgia in May of 2023. I have spent the past nine summers being a camp counselor, and I absolutely adore watching kiddos! I've been babysitting since I was 11 years old - when I was frankly still a kid myself! I love to help children of all ages play, learn, and grow.
