I am a compassionate, loving, highly educated individual with a passion for children and child development. I have a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and Special Education and a Master’s in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I enjoy bringing my love of art, dance, outdoors, healthy foods, Project Approach style learning and exploration to children. By creating a loving environment with consistent expectations, I provide children the opportunity grow and develop in their academic and social-emotional intelligences. I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and turning clean up into a fun game that everyone participates in. In my career as a teacher and school administrator, I have had the pleasure of watching many children develop skills that they never thought possible. Very little compares to the pride that comes from watching a child exceed their own expectations. In my free time I participate in novice competitive Read more crew, go hiking with my dog, and visit museums.

Hillary was a wonderful babysitter for my 9 year old son this summer. She connected with my son very well who can be quite shy and he was happy to hang out with her all day while I was at work. Hillary has a calm and friendly disposition and she's very easy to communicate with. Through her interactions with my son I could tell that she enjoys being around children and is concerned about their development and happiness. She is also competent and reliable. We had a great experience with her and would highly recommend her to anyone that needed a babysitter.
