Hi, my name is Haley! I graduated from Tulane University with a bachelors in neuroscience and psychology and from Duke University with a doctorate in Physical Therapy. I work full-time as a neuro physical therapist for Mizzou healthcare, but am looking to earn some extra money to help with my student loans. I have experience babysitting all ages, and I love working with kids. I have volunteered with Miracle League for many years and gotten to work in pediatric clinics through school which has given me the opportunity to work with special needs children as well. I have 3 dogs at home, so I am very comfortable around animals. I tutored elementary - high school for 3 years, so I’m happy to help with homework. I can also help with cooking, cleaning, or anything else you might need. I have my own transportation and am CPR certified. Please feel free to ask any questions!

I am a dependable, friendly, and compassionate babysitter. I am currently a student at Mizzou studying Early Childhood Education. This past year I took a gap year and had the opportunity to work as a full time teacher at WUFLC where I learned so much about the care of children of all ages. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting or a part-time nanny position if it works with my class schedule. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, babysitting family and family friends' children as well. I have experience with food allergies and the use of an Avi-Q as well as an Epi-pen. I love creating different activities. I love getting the chance to take kids out on adventures to explore their environment through nature along with engaging in arts and crafts to spark our imaginations.
