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.

Hi! My name is Giselle O, and I've worked with kids for as long as I can remember! From volunteering at my Church's Daycare (Second Baptist West Campus), to connecting with parents and being recommended to other families! I have experience working with infants from about 4 months old; including but not limited to , preparing bottles , notifying parents of changes in bowel movements when changing diapers (if needed, or baby has specific needs), introducing shapes, colors, and numbers to them, and mindful correction. Mindful correction is what I call the ability to be patient and communicate with little ones without harm, threats or anger; I strongly believe in this form of teaching and strive to make every kids' voice heard and validated, while communicating correction and having discussions when needed. I also have experience with toddlers , preschoolers , elementary and middle schoolers . Please reach out for references , I'm happy to send as many as you need! I'm currently in college at HTU majoring in Biology with a minor in Business administration ; my long term goal would be to become a neonatal nurse . For now , I hope to continue nurturing and caring for the leaders of tomorrow ! :)
