I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Hi, I’m Anna! I have a passion for working with children and years of experience in childcare and education. I studied Early Childhood Education in college and worked as an assistant teacher, gaining hands-on experience with kids of various ages.

Additionally, I have experience as a youth librarian, where I planned engaging activities and fostered a love of reading in children.

Hi, I am Hailey Lawrence. I am 18 years old going to school for early childhood education. I enjoy babysitting because I raised my younger siblings and my younger cousins for 8 years of their lives. When I was 14 I started working at busy bee daycare while I would occasionally babysit my foster parents twins. I always enjoyed helping others and just being able to be fun and creative with the kids. I always have planned activities that I get approved to do by the parents.

Hi! I’m Morgan. I’m 22 years old and I’m looking to be a babysitter. I have babysat kids before and have been told I’m very good with kids. My patience runs high so maybe that’s it. I love to play volleyball, sing, read books. My favorite singer is P!nk. I love pets (my favorite animal is a monkey) and I have 2 cats. I have 6 years of paid babysitting experience. I also have CPR certification and know basic first aid. I am willing to do light house keeping and simple meals (I’m not much of a cook). I have my own car so if there are activities, sports, or just a trip to the park, I can do that. My availability is very flexible right now as I am currently looking for a job. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello, my name is Fatuma. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to make a positive impact in a child's life while offering parents some much-needed peace of mind. It's rewarding to watch kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I enjoy the creativity involved in planning activities, whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or helping with homework. There's something special about building trust with both the kids and parents, knowing I can make their day a little easier and more enjoyable. I have 4 years of babysitting experience working with children of various ages, from infants to school-age kids. Over the years, I’ve gained skills in everything from creating fun and educational activities to handling bedtime routines, preparing snacks, and providing gentle discipline when necessary.
