A little bit about me

Hi all! My name is Sarah. I am 23 years old, originally from California, and a senior in college. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, so I have years of experience. I like to consider myself the cool babysitter who loves keeping kids active, laughing, and having fun.
I am reliable, easygoing, and always happy to help make parents’ lives easier — whether that’s entertaining kids during busy summer days, helping with bedtime, or being an extra set of hands while you’re on Nantucket for the season.
I understand the fast-paced summer lifestyle and can jump right in.
I am a big animal lover over here!
I have an English golden retriever that I’m obsessed with, and I’ve been dog walking since high school.
I’m extremely comfortable with pets and more than happy to help with dog walks or animal care.
If you’re looking for a fun, responsible, and trustworthy summer sitter on Nantucket, I’d love to connect! ☀️🐶

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Jane Fuller! I’m a freshman at Clemson University and an active member of Tri Delta, turning 20 in April. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids and being someone they feel comfortable being around. I have babysitting experience with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens, and I love keeping things fun through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and helping with homework and routines. I’m responsible, patient, and very tidy. I try to keep things clean and organized while helping around the house. I also communicate clearly with parents and follow what works best for each family. Babysitting and nannying are things I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the chance to help take care of your children—feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Shellecia a 26-year-old Jamaican, who enjoys cooking, baking and reading. I am currently a pastry chef at the great Harbor yacht club where I also do babysitting on the side.
Babysitting started out for me when I had to babysit my siblings then it turned into babysitting neighbors and babysitting strangers who eventually turned into family.
I just love the warm feeling of a smile from a toddler when you talk with them, and even though they can't understand you that laughter alone and the gaze in their eyes just makes it feel like they do and I've just grown a loving feeling to that and to just look after them , nurture, protect and take care of them . Kids are special and I take care and protect them as if they're my own , lol Not gonna bore you with my paragraphs, but I really look forward to babysitting your kids or your child soon.
