Hi parents! I'm a mommy of 2- a 5 year old and a 2 year old with tons of experience under my belt. Outside of taking care of my own babies, I have been babysitting for many years in diverse environments. I started out young, taking care of little ones at church daycare (where I still help out and teach Sunday School occasionally) and summer camps, and transitioned into full time work with children in their homes. I currently work part time at a home daycare, taking care of up to 8 little ones at a time. When my son started daycare, I couldn't help feeling helpless and worried every time I left him crying and reaching out for me as I left for work. I remembered that feeling, and what he must have gone through, once I started working at a home daycare. I strive to give them the Read more most loving environment while they're away from mom and dad, while also providing a safe and fun experience they will be excited to wake up for every day! Ever since I can remember, I have always felt a calling for working with children. I am currently trying to pursue a degree in teaching, after flip-flopping from a career as a doula, although my passion for infants is still as strong as ever. I am very good with homework help/tutoring and I love getting creative and doing arts and crafts. When the weather permits, I would rather be outdoors somewhere with the little ones, rather than be holed up indoors. I am close to getting my CPR/First Aid certification. Ideally I would like to grow with a family, and looking for a long term position, but if it's not possible, and I am right for your family, I am open to discussing options. My hours are flexible during the week (I work on weekends and am NOT available, unfortunately). Please let me know if you want to check my references, so that I can provide you with a way to contact them. For a faster response, please call or text me at 773.six five three.8903 Thank you for reading!
