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 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.
