I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and being a part of their growth. Babysitting allows me to create fun, safe, and engaging environments while giving parents peace of mind. I’ve been babysitting for a year, starting with friends families and additionally pet experience. I’ve cared for children ranging from pre-teens to teens, handling everything from bedtime routines and mealtime to homework help and fun activities. I also have experience with managing multiple children at once. I’m organized, reliable, and calm under pressure, these qualities are especially helpful when managing different ages and needs. I also bring creativity to playtime and patience during homework or wind-down moments. As a college student working toward a bachelor’s degree, I know how to manage responsibility and time effectively.

I am currently entering my junior year at WMU. I am in nursing school and am hoping to land a position specializing in children as a nurse! I have been babysitting for neighbors and several families since I was 15 years old. I am CPR and first aid certified, as well as medication trained from prior jobs. I have a reliable car with nothing on my driving record. I can provide references as well from the families I have nannied for! One of my previous jobs dealt with special needs adults, but I do have experience babysitting children with ADHD and autism as well! Currently, I have been nannying for a family, but due to an unexpected move, I am looking for a new position.
