Hyde Park Babysitters

Hi, I’m Allison! I’m from McKinney, TX and have lived in Austin since graduating college in 2018. I work from home and do lots of babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I have lots of experience with toddlers, young kids, and even newborns. I can prepare meals and drive kids around if needed. I love dogs and cats, and would love to help your family out with some babysitting!* *I prefer to know in advance of booking if your child is sick, so that I can make an informed decision about the sit. I see lots of families and kids and don’t want to spread things around. Thank you!

Hello! Tech professional and novice ceramacist who has lived in Austin since summer of 2022. Since then, I have been babysitting regularly providing evening coverage for families of all sizes and ages. I started babysitting around age 12. I come from a non-smoking home, am comfortable with animals, and am happy to help with various home chores. If you would like to speak more about myself, my availability, or my experience - please reach out!

Hello! I have been babysitting since I was a teenager for family, friends, and neighbors. I currently work for Austin Independent School District, and I have a background in education, mostly with teenagers. I also have worked at a day care, so I'm comfortable with infants and toddlers. I'm very pet friendly. I enjoy getting out and about and being outside. I have a clean driving record and have taken defensive driving courses to work for the City of Austin, so I'd be to take your kids on adventures! I don't mind helping out with small chores around the house. I like cooking and baking, especially with my younger cousins. they get really into it! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! My name is Lorelai, and I’m 18 years old and a senior at Garza Independence High School. I have experience working with children ages 5–11 from my time at the JCC Summer Camps in 2023, where I helped lead fun activities and made sure every child felt safe and included. I’m CPR certified and know how to stay calm and handle high-alert situations responsibly. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a positive environment for them — and I’m currently saving the money I earn from babysitting to help pay for college! I hope to sit for you soon! :)

Working with children and families has been my true calling for as long as I can remember. With more than 30 years of experience and a degree in Human Development and Family Relations, I’ve built my career as a professional nanny, doula, family support specialist, and child development coach — always centered on quality care, secure attachment, and developmentally appropriate support. To offer the most comprehensive care possible, I hold certifications as a car seat safety technician, CPR/First Aid, peer breastfeeding counselor, and pregnancy support professional. As a certified Growing Great Kids (GGK) curriculum educator, I use proven, strength-based tools to partner with parents in supporting early childhood development. Throughout my career, I’ve had the joy of caring for children of all ages — from tiny infants to adolescents. I see my role not just as a caregiver, but as a consistent partner in a child’s emotional, mental, and physical growth. Families describe my approach as calm, reliable, and deeply engaging. By blending structure and predictability with genuine warmth and fun, I create a safe space where children feel supported, respected, and free to grow.
