Hello! My name is Britt. 😊 I grew up in WA state near Seattle and came to CA for college. I have 29 years of experience... Ever since age 13 I’ve babysat for several families at a time and also loved it! I think the best part of it all is getting to see these tiny beings change and grow, seeing their personalities come to light. Many might see babysitting as just a necessity for parents to be able to go out and have adult time, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to have fun, to engage a child’s sense of wonder and their sense of self. I like to do activities with them and be outdoors when possible. I’m very respectful of parents’ preferences and like to follow their same rules set for their kids. I know that being a parent can sometimes be challenging... I can be there to help give you a much needed break or to help make daily life a little easier for you. While I have not been blessed to be a mother yet myself, I’ve learned a wide variety of things from each of the families I’ve had the pleasure to know and love. I have experience with autistic, Down syndrome, as well as behaviorally challenged individuals. I can help with homework, house work, transportation, and errands. I also am available for overnights, weekend stays (or longer if needed) and assistance on family vacations. Any other questions feel free to ask! ☺️

Due to my work, I have plenty of experience helping kids with distance learning, homeschooling, and helping with homework. I have experience working with all age groups.

Cheyanne H.
- 2 years paid experience

Hi there! Children have so much to teach and I am here to learn! I have 2+ years of childcare experience with elementary aged children, however I am open to working with children of all ages! I grew up bringing my babydoll with me everywhere, then taking care of family friends kids, and then babysat for a family for years. I haven’t had a childcare job in a few years now, as I was getting my Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology, but would love to start again. I took a course in early and middle child development. Additionally, I worked with adults with developmental disabilities (mainly behavioral) for over a year. Having that experience, I feel comfortable working with children with special needs. A little bit about me: My name is Cheyanne, I am 22, and I am a graduate student working towards becoming a therapist. I love to spend time looking at rocks at the beach, building fairy huts in the trees, dancing, hula hooping, listening to music, crafting, cooking, baking, creating and using my creativity, and thrifting. I love to find the magic and kids are the best at that! It would be an honor to spend time with your little ones, thank you for reading!
