I am a grandmother of four wonderful energetic children aged 6, two 3 yr olds and a 2 yr old. I often take all four to the park, have picnics and even have wild slumber parties at grandmas house. I love children and truly enjoy playing, being creative and teaching new things. Reading to children is one of my favorite things to do, singing if they’ll let me. I am patient, kind, and nurturing as I know children need this more than anything. Being a grandma has been a true joy for me and I enjoy children and all the laughter and fun they bring.

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I have been a paid babysitter for the past seven years for family friends and neighbors. Before coming to college I worked for nine months as a nanny for three children under two years old. I have been Red Cross Babysitter certified and have gotten additional child care training from working in summer camps through PP&R. I have babysat for children 3mo to 10yrs old. I enjoy babysitting because I like being able to meet children at their level and allow them to explore and grow in a safe and positive environment. I love playing with children and interacting with them in a creative and collaborative way. I love getting to know each child and integrating myself into the unique culture of each family.

Taking care of children has become a passion of mine and a special way to spend my weekdays, weekends and evenings since I don't have any of my own children. I have been a caregiver for over 15 years starting with babysitting, private child care, and nannying. I am comfortable with ages of children mostly infant through kindergarten with a limit of 3 children at one time. I adore dogs as they are my favorite animal. I have 2 rescue dogs. My care-giving philosophy is to make sure the children are safe, well cared for, listening to instructions, and are happy and healthy. I will use redirection in a time of need to help the child regain control of himself/herself. My favorite activities to do with children are reading, coloring, going to parks and being outside, and arts & crafts. A little bit more about myself, I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my own transportation and current driver's license with insurance. I have Human Service and Child Development associates degrees from 8 years of college. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family and crafting. I have no children of my own, that is why it is important for me to help care for other children when I am asked. Children have been my passion since I was a teenager, and I want to be a big sister, friend, and role model to help children when learning is a critical part of growing up. I am open to long term commitment with families who understand that children are my passion and I have a lot of time on the weekends that I would like to spend caring for children. Feel free to contact myself with any additional questions that you may have. Thank you and I look forward to meet your family soon.

Hi! I'm a caring, energetic, and highly experienced caregiver who truly loves being around children. Spending time with kids isn't just a job for me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. I bring a calm, joyful, and fun presence to the home while creating the kind of structure and emotional safety that helps children thrive. With a strong background in education and years of experience supporting kids of all ages, I blend gentle parenting with gentle parenting and Montessori-inspired practices into everyday life. I believe in guiding behavior with kindness and consistency, modeling positive behavior, and helping children build independence, confidence, and emotional awareness through respectful boundaries and connection. I'm the kind of nanny who loves jumping into arts and crafts, playing sports outside, coming up with fun games, preparing healthy snacks together, reading in cozy corners, and turning ordinary moments into meaningful learning experiences. I also enjoy supporting the flow of the household through cooking, tidying, and keeping children's spaces organized and peaceful. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and as a licensed educator, I bring both professionalism and creativity to my caregiving. Above all, my goal is to be a steady, trusted, and uplifting presence - someone who helps children feel seen, safe, capable, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
