Babysitters - Are you one? Do you need one? Post here.

Hi everyone! I am a 25 year old mom to a 17 month old daughter. I am available to babysit after 6pm, monday through friday, and pretty much anytime on the weekends. I do volunteer the 2nd and 4th thursday of every month, as well as work every 3rd saturday morning til 12, so wouldnt be available those days. Would prefer no children over 4 or so years old so they can play with my daughter! My rates are very reasonable, I am able to do pick up/drop off. PM me if interested!

Hey Ladies! I'm a 22 year old SAHM mother to a 16 month old boy. I'd love to start doing some babysitting during the week and some weekends. Now that summer is here we go to the lake cabin a lot on weekends. Jaiden and I love going for walks and playing at the park. He's very well behaved and gets along well with other children. I would prefer to only babysit for 1 or 2 children at a time since I will have mine in tow. I'm pretty open for a schedule as of right now. If anyone needs part-time or even prearranged backup care I'd love to help out. I have a few years of nanny experience for one family (can provide reference) and several years of babysitting experience. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. If you're interested or would like to know more, send me a PM and I'll give you my number.
Thanks
Miranda

I'm looking to make some extra money, and I would love to watch your child/children. I have a 5 yr old son and a soon to be 4 yr old daughter, who would probably accompany me. I've been in the daycare field since 2000, and I love kids. I dont smoke and I have reliable transportation.
I would be available for evenings from possibly 6:30pm-12midnight during the week.
I would also be available on wkends from anytime in the morning til 4:30 pm, and my kids would not accompany me on weekends, they would be at home with their dad. My husband works evenings, so that is why my kids would be with me.

Need more info or if interested, please PM me. I would be available to start immediately if needed!!

I can babysit on monday, wednesday, thursday,friday, sunday nights. I have 2 kids, one is 2 the other is 10 months. Please contact me for more info! I do not smoke, have a reliable car and love kids! I am also willing to pick up and drop off (depending on the number of kids) and if they stayed overnight take to school the next morning if need be. PM me for more info!

Hello! I am a 24 year old SAHM to my wonderful 2 month old son. I am looking for a few children to watch Monday-Friday. I have a non-smoking home and love children. I live two blocks from Augustana. I enjoy out door activities and crafts. Proficient in signlanguage and references available. PM me with any questions.

I am looking for after school child care in the Discovery area or the west side for my seven year old son. I am hoping to find a daycare that will pick him up from school or one that is in extremely close walking distance from Discovery school, and watch him untill around 5:30 or 6:00 pm. Even a female high school student would be fine if they can commit to a few hours during weeknights, to make some extra cash. If any one has any ideas or thoughts please let me know. i am stuck. you can e-mail me at Kentranger@sio.midco.net Thanks

Hi Ladies! I am a stay at home mom. I have a 5 year old little girl of my own. I am looking to babysit it can either be full time, part time, or even drop in if you just need a night out. I am available anytime during the week or weekends evenings or overnights would be fine also. Any age is welcome including Infants. I ran my own daycare in the past for 7 years and closed it due to a move so I have experience and reference. If you or someone you know is in need of care on a regular basis that would be okay also. Please pm me with any questions. Thanks.

I hope this is the right way to do this. I am looking to move to Sx Falls with my 5 year old daughter and will likely be needing evening childcare. I am thinking like until 10 or 10:30PM. I need a loving, Christian, clean environment for my child. Anyone that could direct me or recommend someone would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! I am looking for someone to watch my two boys ages 3 and 7 years from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm Mon-Fri I would prefer someone who could watch them the whole time but if needed they could attend daycare until 6pm if someone could pick them up from daycare and watch them until I get off at 9pm.

Hello,
I am a provider that is taking two girls in on the east side of SFs for the evenings. This parent has ask me to help her look for a provider on the east side that can take her 2 girls, 1 1/2 and 5 year old for the day and evening shift both. Her hours are Monday-Friday 10am-10pm. She would like to not have to transport the girls from day daycare to an evening daycare. She also will need a provider that accepts daycare assistance. Thank you!

I recently relocated to Sioux Falls and am in need of childcare services. I travel out of town a couple of times each month for my job. I would like to find a responsible, caring person who could pick up my 7 year-old son from daycare at 6:00pm and watch him in my home overnight, then take him to school the next morning. I'm typically gone 1-2 nights during the week per trip, and have some flexibility with my schedule. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions on where I might find childcare to meet these needs. Thank you.

I am looking for a babysitter for the weekends (probably a couple hours on Friday night and Saturday afternoon). I have 3 children ages 5, 2, and 1. My oldest can be a little active, but enjoys almost everything "girly." Thanks.

Please email me.

I just wanted to remind everyone that I have a 16 year old daughter that loves to babysit. She does not drive just yet, but I can transport one way or both if needed. She has babysat for as long as I can remember. She has three younger brothers that she has taken care of since they were born. She is excellent with kids of all ages. If you ever need a sitter feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks.

We are looking for a SAHM who is willing to come into our home 2 days a week starting in September. Our daughter will be 3 1/2 and our son will be 20mo. I only have to work 2 days a week but we are finding that daycares would require us to pay for more days or even full-time and we are not financially able to do that. We would LOVE to find someone who can come to our home (preferrably with a child or children close to the ages of our own) and care for our children 2 days a week. Rates are negotiable and I would even be willing to care for your children part-time as well if needed..... PM me if you are interested or would like to know more!!

Thank you!!

I am looking for childcare for a very self sufficent 9 1/2 year old girl. I work M-F 10-5pm (normally) and would like to find someone that will take her swimming, park etc...so she isn't sitting on her butt all summer. Also to keep her reading some and so on. I have had an offer from a daycare which sounds great and I may accept but would try to find a "big sister" for her as she is the oldest of 4 first. PM me :) Thank you

Hi I am a stay at home mom and I am looking for a way to make a little extra money and still beable to stay home with my daughter. I have done daycare in the past for 7 years almost 8 years. I am not looking to actually go back into daycare with multiple children at least not right now. But I am looking for one or two families to care for part time or full time. I would think this would be a perfect thing for someone with an infant as I know infant daycare is hard to find these days and it would be very small as I only really want one family or two and then my own daughter of course. I am open to watching any age and all ages are welcome. I just thought something like this would be great for someone with an Infant who is looking for someone to watch there baby as I know Infant daycare is hard to find.

I am able to start right away or in the future. Any age is welcome or a family with multiple children. I am willing to do days,nights,weekends I am flexible with my hours. I am also open to drop in care for anyone who wants a night out or if your daycare is taking time off. Please pm me with any questions you may have. Thanks

*****UPDATE******

I decided not to take the position, so I no longer need a sitter. I want to thank all who responded and I will keep you all in mind incase I were to need a babysitter at some point.
Thanks again

OK, I"m in a bind. I am able to start a new position, and the hours start at 5:50 am. My husband doesn't get home til around 6:30 am. I need someone for an hour on the mornings I would need to work, I would need someone by 5:20 am. The kids would still be sleeping, so the sitter could just watch tv, sometimes they are awake after 6, but not all the time. I would also need a sitter again in the evening around 4:30/4:45-6:30/7ish. In the evening the kids would need to be fed, and just someone to play with them and keep them busy til I got home. This would only be 1-3 days a wk, and possibly every other wkend. If anyone would be interested please PM Me, I have til Tuesday to decide if I am able to do this. My other option was, I could work overnights, but that shift goes from 6pm-6am, and my husband works sometimes from 5pm-6am. So I would need a sitter from 4:45pm-6:30am when he works pt otherwise it'd be from 9:30pm-6:30am.
Anyone have any suggestions Please PM me.

found someone thanks!!
