I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Being part of a child’s day, whether through play, routines, or learning moments, is very rewarding for me, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive experience for both kids and parents. I worked at a daycare for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and supporting development through structured and unstructured activities. I am also currently a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant, which has given me even more experience working closely with children and supporting their individual needs. Through my daycare and pediatric OT experience, I have strong skills in child development, behavior support, communication, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am trained in working with children with a variety of needs, following routines, ensuring safety, and providing compassionate care. My background helps me bring a calm, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to every family I work with.

Hello! I’m a 20 year old who has had a love for kids sense I was a teen. I started out babysitting my own siblings and then extended family and family friends. I have several years of experience in paid babysitting from families that I can give as references. I also nannied all summer a couple of years ago for 2 kids ages 7 and 9. I have tons of driving experience. I have worked with ages 0-12 a ton. The last 4 years I’ve been mostly working with ages 0-2, 2-5, and some elementary ages. I absolutely love working with 1-3 kids vs a daycare setting as it allows me to connect with them more and do things catered more to what they desire. I love running errands if you need someone to go grocery shopping for you, transporting kids to swimming lessons or sports, going to the park, trampoline parks, or any other activities. I don’t mind picking up toys, folding laundry, helping with things around the house, cooking meals, baking desserts with kids, etc. I am currently a Lead 4 and 5 year old teacher and onsite supervisor at my current job with preschool kids. I’m not the preschool teacher, I’m the wrap around care teacher who provides structure, play with a purpose, and more learning while the kids are not currently at preschool! I am CPR and First Aid certified for infant, child, and adult. I’ve been certified for the last 4 years! I have several other childcare trainings as well. A little more about me! My favorite age I’ve worked with probably has to be age 3! I love all ages, but working with 3s and watching them grow and develope so much in just 1 year was incredible and so rewarding for me! I also have experience being a lead teacher with the 2 year old classroom at one of my past jobs. I absolutely love to be silly and do activities with kids! I think I dislike being bored just as much as they do which helps all of us! I love painting, coloring, riding bikes, playing with chalk, bubbles, you name it. I also love me a good dance party with any age! I have several pets at home and have grown up with so many different kinds as well. I’m a huge dog and cat lover. I also have pet birds and a rabbit of my own. One of my favorite activities in nice weather is walking outside or riding a bike. Being in nature is wonderful! I also enjoy making bracelets and working with clay. I take spin wheel pottery classes every now and then for fun. I take so much pride and confidence in what I do and all that I’ve learned in the childcare industry. I am always learning!

I love connecting with kids, brings me back to when I was that little. I have babysat kids since I was 14. Starting out with an infant and then babysitting toddlers, up to 8-9 year olds! I work in a hospital so I have good people skills, I feel I am good with communication. I have younger siblings so I am used to being around kids even at home. I have always loved making kids feel safe and for the most part being able to have fun while behaving!
