Hello, my name is Brittany and I am 23 years old and am very interested in being your sitter. I am currently an executive director of a daycare where I run and take care of all the daycare business!

My babysitting skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly nature, position me to excel in this role. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss my qualifications in more detail. Thank you very much, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being someone families can trust. I find it rewarding to help kids feel safe, supported, and cared for while also having fun through games, crafts, reading, or quiet time.

I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, with strong communication skills, and I handle situations calmly while respecting household rules. I take my responsibilities seriously and always aim to provide kind, consistent, and reliable care that gives parents peace of mind.

I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals of all ages, with a primary focus on infants and toddlers. I am energetic, patient, organized, and have excellent communication skills. Throughout my career, I have worked as a private nanny, operated my own home daycare, and worked in a child development center on a military base. Most recently, I worked for MercyOne as a Family Support Worker, providing home visits to families with children from infancy through age five. I also love animals and am happy to assist with light household duties. I am available for occasional evenings and weekends. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and traveling.

I love being a sitter because I value providing high-level, intentional care that supports both the child’s development and the family’s lifestyle. I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure, confident, and engaged. For me, being a nanny is not just childcare—it’s about becoming a trusted professional who contributes positively to a family’s daily flow and peace of mind. I have extensive professional experience working with children in both private childcare and structured behavioral settings. I’ve supported children of varying ages and needs, partnering closely with families to maintain routines, encourage emotional regulation, and foster healthy development. My background includes consistency, discretion, and adaptability—qualities that are especially important when supporting busy households. I bring a strong skill set in child development support, behavior management, emotional regulation, and routine-based care. With my training as a Registered Behavioral Technician, I am highly skilled in positive reinforcement, observation, and individualized support strategies. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to anticipate family needs, multitask efficiently, and maintain a polished, professional standard at all times.

My full name is Jordyn but I typically go by my nickname, Jordy. I grew up being the oldest in a house with 6+ kids! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I love kids and I love pets, I even have a couple kitties of my own. I always love doing crafts and fun things with the kiddos (keeping kids entertained is my specialty lol) but I will never turn down a good lazy day. I’m a pretty patient person and tantrums are no match for me! I also tend to get pretty board when there’s nothing to do, so when the kiddos are napping, expect the dishes to be done haha! I currently work part time at Kippy’s Place in Elkhart Iowa and I strictly work nights in the late week. Other than that, I’m pretty much available all the time!
