I began babysitting and childcare when I was 12years old. I have watched children both in clients homes and also at my church. I have provided care for up to 5 kids at one time by myself. I am certified in CPR, AED, and First aid for all ages. I am a mom of a spunky 3.5year old and I love to engage kids in activities and arts/crafts. I’m very active and enjoy going outside to the park anytime the weather allows. I love kids of all ages and I understand the challenges kids have when meeting someone new. I meet kids where they are! I have watched children from newborn to age 12 but I am comfortable helping older kids too. I do have a bachelors in business and HR management and enjoy helping kids with their homework as well.

I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.
