Hi there! I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and am now a Doctor of Physical Therapy student. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for over 10 years, caring for children from 6 months to 15 years old. I also have experience coaching kids (ages 2–16) and working with adults with disabilities (18+), which has given me a strong foundation in patience, adaptability, and empathy. In addition to childcare, I'm a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, so I love encouraging healthy habits and active play. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, baking, and spending time with my many nieces and nephews. Whether it’s helping with homework, getting involved in sports, or just relaxing with a good book or movie, I love being a positive role model and supportive presence in children's lives. I'm excited to bring my energy, experience, and care into your home—and I look forward to connecting with you!

I have 3–6 years of experience caregiving for small humans, including infants, toddlers, and older children. I previously worked as an assistant teacher at a daycare for one year, a role I truly loved before relocating. I am CPR certified from my most recent position and prioritize safety and attentive care at all times. Building strong, trusting connections with children comes naturally to me, and the kids I cared for absolutely loved me in return.

Hello! I am a 26 year old transplant from New Orleans! I have been working in childcare since 2021 starting in Arkansas as an infant teacher from 2021-2023.

I’m currently on a short break from college and will be returning in December to continue pursuing my degree in Criminal Justice. Right now, I’m in Arizona for the Army, but I’ll be back home in early October. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids, including watching multiple children under three at the same time. My background in the Army has also provided me with emergency medical training and basic first aid skills, which give me confidence in handling unexpected situations calmly and safely. In addition to childcare, I enjoy keeping spaces clean and organized and don’t mind helping with errands or light household tasks. I genuinely love supporting families and creating a safe, positive environment for kids to grow and have fun.

Hi! I’m Emily, a stay at home mom to a sweet boy (born February 2025). Becoming a mom made me realize how much I love caring for little ones, and I’d love to support another family who needs reliable, loving help. My son would be with me, and he’s the happiest, most easygoing little guy. Kids usually love having another little friend around, and it creates such a fun, calm vibe during the day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and comfortable with all ages. I can care for your child in your home or mine, whatever feels best for you. I’m also available for last minute needs, snow days, school closures, and backup care when life gets unpredictable. As a fellow mom, I know how much it helps to have someone you can count on. I keep things warm, safe, and fun, following your routines, your parenting style, and what works best for your family. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to chat! ❤️
