Hi, I'm Jadyn! I'm a friendly and patient childcare provider with six years of experience, and I truly enjoy supporting families. It's a privilege to offer reliable childcare, and my previous babysitting roles have deepened my love for caring for children. I prioritize open communication with parents, keeping them updated on their child's day and addressing any concerns that arise. I believe in following the parents' lead on household rules, as every family has its own way of doing things. I love engaging kids in various activities, from outdoor sports and board games to educational games that make learning fun, arts and crafts are my personal favorite! I'm comfortable caring for children ranging from toddlers to preteens. With some college education (still in school) and certifications in CPR and First Aid, you can trust that your kids are in safe hands. I have a car, and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to creating a fun and nurturing environment for your little ones!

Hi! My names Honesty ( yes it’s my real name I get that a lot lol ). I’m 20 years old, I’ve been babysitting and watching kids since I can remember. I’m the oldest of 4 and come from a huge family so chaos and kid is nothing new to me. I have my own car and have been driving for years so plenty of experience there. I’d say I’m very laid back and patient but also a huge kid at heart. I love the outdoors and finding anything to stay busy especially with the weather so nice. I have a lot of free time right now and want to find a different career path and child care seems promising! Also a few of my family members with like autism and physical disability so I understand the patients and care that comes with it. I’d never treat anyone differently than I’d want my own family treated. All things said nothings new to me and im ready for anything. I hope to hear back and thank you!
