Hi! I'm a mom to a wonderful teenage daughter, and I've always enjoyed working with children. I have several years of experience as a nanny and as a pediatric respiratory therapist, as well as experience coaching youth cheerleading. These roles have given me the opportunity to work with kids of different ages and personalities. I love working with children because it's rewarding to build relationships with them, watch them learn and grow, and make a positive difference in their lives. I'm patient, caring, dependable, and know how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands. My background in pediatric healthcare has given me valuable experience caring for children, staying calm under pressure, and handling unexpected situations. In addition to that I am also CPR certified. As a cheer coach, I've also developed strong skills in communication, leadership, and creating a fun, positive, and Read more supportive environment. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for your children!

I can’t recommend Cheryl enough! She was such an amazing cheer coach to my daughter, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact she had on her life. She was always so patient, supportive, caring, and encouraging, and you could tell how much she genuinely cared about all the girls. She has a special way of making children feel comfortable, confident, and supported. Cheryl helped my daughter's confidence grow tremendously which in turn help her execute difficult stunts. As a parent, it means so much to have someone you trust with your child, and she is someone I would wholeheartedly recommend to any family looking for a loving, responsible, and caring babysitter. Any family would be lucky to have her!

We cannot recommend Chery highly enough! From day one, she was a warm, reliable, and deeply trusted part of our routine. My daughter absolutely lighted up the second she walks through the door. She brings great energy, thinks up fun and engaging activities rather than just turning on the TV, and handles bedtime and mealtime routines with total calm and confidence. On top of that, her communication is seamless—we always come home to a tidy house and a happy, well-cared-for family. If you are looking for someone who treats your children with true kindness and professionalism, hire her immediately.

Cheryl has babysat for us a few times, and she has been great! She is sweet, patient, and really good with kids. She is also reliable and easy to communicate with, which I really appreciate. I’ve always felt comfortable having her watch my little one and know he is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Cheryl to any family looking for someone caring and trustworthy!

Cheryl is someone you can depend on and trust. She watched my son for years and I felt safe having her around my family.

I am a very overprotective parent. I trust very few people to care for my daughter but I 100% trust Cheryl. She is very very very patient as a person and great with kids.
