I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in both therapeutic and educational settings. From my time as a Behavior Specialist and Applied Behavior Analysis Technician, I’ve helped kids develop social skills, manage emotions, and thrive in structured and creative activities. I’m trained in safety and crisis intervention, and I always prioritize creating a secure, nurturing environment. Beyond safety, I love making time with kids fun! Whether it’s playing games, exploring crafts, reading together, or helping with homework, I enjoy engaging children in ways that spark curiosity and joy. My background in social work and psychology gives me a unique perspective to understand and respond to each child’s needs with patience and care. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely excited to spend time with your kids, I’d love to meet you and your family!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. It’s rewarding to watch them learn, play, and grow, and I love being a positive influence in their lives. I have experience caring for children of various ages, including 9 months to 14 years. I have helped with homework, prepared meals, supervised playtime, and ensured their daily routines are followed. I have also been responsible for my younger foster siblings and family members, giving me hands-on experience in childcare. I am skilled at creating fun and educational activities, handling daily routines, and maintaining a safe environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to children’s needs, which ensures I can handle emergencies calmly and responsibly. Background checks on this app cost a lot but I just turned 18 and I’ve never been in trouble with the cops.
