I love being a babysitter because it gives me the chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. I find so much joy in creating a safe, nurturing space where kids feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves. Helping children grow, feel heard, and build confidence—especially those who need a little extra patience—is something I truly care about. I’ve been babysitting since middle school for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve worked with children of all ages. I also volunteered with children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental differences, which taught me how to be flexible, calm, and attentive to individual needs. A unique part of my care is that I bring my dog with me to work. She’s very gentle, child-friendly, and used to being around little ones. I find that many children enjoy her presence—it adds comfort, fun, and companionship to the day. Of course, I always make sure families are comfortable with this ahead of time. What I Offer: • Over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience • Experience with autism and developmental differences • Help with routines: dressing, hygiene, meal/snack prep, and supervision • Light tidying/laundry and homework support • Emotional care and play-based learning • Strong communication with both kids and parents • CPR & BLS certification (currently renewing this month) I’m committed to being a calm, loving, and dependable presence in your child’s life—and I’d be honored to be a part of their daily routine.
