Meet beth
I’m the Owner and Founder of Babysitting Connection and mom to Grant and Evelyn. My background is in recruiting and training, and after becoming a stay-at-home mom in 2015, I quickly realized the power of strong support systems for women and mothers. In 2018, I relocated from Columbus, OH to Austin, TX—and after struggling to find reliable childcare, I launched Babysitting Connection in 2020 to help other families find trusted care with ease.
I’m deeply passionate about helping women succeed—whether that’s coaching fellow founders, supporting moms through motherhood’s chaos, or just being the friend who shows up with wine and perspective. I believe in building community, championing each other, and creating spaces where women and moms feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
I love a good Sauvignon Blanc, but I’ll never say no to a tall Titos and soda with extra limes. I thrive on travel—solo or with my kids—and nothing fills my cup like time with close friends and their little ones. I love for a good night out in downtown Austin, and I’ll strike up a convo with just about anyone. Want to grab coffee, a cocktail, or set up a playdate? Let’s connect—I’d truly love to meet you.

We were so happy to have her stay with our kids!
I really don’t want to share the good news because everyone will want to book Kim. She was on-time, assertive, and enthusiastic. She enabled us to leave the kids peacefully, as she quickly gained their attention. She followed the game plan perfectly and left the house just as she found it. We were so happy to have her stay with our kids!
Our son felt happy to have her there
You know someone is special when your 2 year old runs up to them upon the first meet and gives them a hug! Jillian was wonderful and it was clear from the beginning that our son felt happy to have her there. Highly recommend and looking forward to having her back 🙂
Savannah was incredible with my children!
Savannah was incredible with my children! She was on time, kind, responsible, creative and my children adored her. She sent me a picture of the kiddos but handled the 8 hour day with them like a true professional! Highly recommend having Savannah as a babysitter!
I can’t tell you how amazing it is to know my kids are in such great care
Vanessa is awesome! I was so nervous because it was my first time ever leaving the boys with a non -family member. Both of my kids did great with her. They had so much fun playing with Vanessa and talked about it the rest of the day!! She is calm, has a great sense of humor, and we all immediately felt at ease with her. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to know my kids are in such great care when I’m gone!!
