Hello! My name is Ella Larsen, and I’m a 20-year-old college student here in Buffalo. I’ve been working with kids for over five years—starting with babysitting for multiple families in my hometown and, more recently, working at an elementary school for the past three semesters in the after-school program Just For Kids.

I’m patient, dependable, and love bringing positive energy to the kids I work with. If you’re ever in need of an occasional babysitter for date nights or special events, I’d be happy to help. I look forward to connecting with you!

LaSalle, Buffalo$18/hr  |  3 years experience
Hi! My name is Stefano, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a junior in college, studying to become a doctor. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing soccer, watching cartoons and anime, and spending quality time with my family and friends. I’m also a big fan of games and love staying active and engaged. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids, and I have experience babysitting for family members and close friends over the years. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just keeping them entertained and safe, I’ve always had a natural connection with children as to why I have thought to become a pediatrician. I’m a very outgoing and lively person who loves to engage in fun and meaningful conversations. I believe in creating a positive and warm environment where kids can feel comfortable and have fun. I'm responsible, attentive, and always happy to help however I can.
