Hi! My name is Skylar D and I’m a first-generation, first-year law student at Samford University. I have years of experience with all ages; I grew up with two nephews who are now 11 and 14 years old, and I routinely babysat them from birth until I began college at the University of South Alabama in 2019. As a teenager, I would also babysit for many family friends. I’m very comfortable with homework help, cleaning, and cooking (it’s a hobby, actually). Please let me know if you have any questions at all!

Hello, I am Gentry! I am enrolled at Samford University for this upcoming fall semester. I plan to major in nursing and my dream is to work for Childrens of Alabama. I love to do yoga, go on walks, bake, and babysit. I have over 5 years of experience with babysitting. It started off as primarily volunteering in my church’s child care, taking care of my younger brother, and babysitting for family friends. I loved it so much that I wanted to expand and explore who else I might be able to help out and watch their children!
