🥰 my name is Gina King.. I am a mom of two wonderful fully grown human beings and a long time baby sitter as well. Currently I am the care giver for a toddler named Evie who is 3 and a half years old. I have been with her since she was seven months and now that she has begun pre-K I am looking for a part time position up to 30 hours a week. I genuinely love spending time with children as well children often gravitate toward me picking up on my positive and open nature. If I am with your child/children you can expect there time with me to be enjoyable creatively stimulating, safe (above all) and heathy. I like to come into every situation with the goal of contributing something of value. I am intelligent, energetic, creative, reliable, very patient, loving and kind. I know how hard entrusting your children’s care to someone can be. There really is nothing more important to me than my kids and when I watch someone else’s they become an extension of that. I am looking forward to meeting and seeing if this could be a great fit for all involved.. 😊 Best wishes

I’ve been working in childcare since I was a teenager up until now so over 10 years. I worked full time as a caregiver for a special needs child for about 3 years. I’ve also done countless babysitting jobs from ages newborn to teen. I have experience watching up to 4 children/toddlers at once on my own, as well as working as a pre-school assistant teacher with a class of 18 children. I genuinely enjoy watching after children, taking care of them, and helping them learn and have fun.

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 9 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!

I am a Nervous System Specialist (NTS) working with competitive fencing athletes ages 10 and up, helping them improve performance by strengthening the connection between the brain, body, and movement pattern communication under stress. My work focuses on regulating the nervous system so athletes can process stress efficiently, react with precision, and maintain consistency during the high-demand competition. By addressing how the nervous system responds to speed, uncertainty, and fatigue, I support athletes in developing better focus, faster decision- making, and resilient movement patterns that translate directly to competitive success. In addition to my performance with athletes, I have extensive experience as a Case Worker in a residential treatment facility serving children ages 8 to 13. In this role, I provided direct support to youth with emotional and behavioral challenges, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and implemented individualized care plans focused on safety, regulation, and long- tern development. My background includes crisis intervention, behavior management, documentation, and building trusting relationships with children in a structured, high stress environment. Across both disciplines, my work is rooted in understand behavior through the lens of the nervous system. Whether supporting young athletes or children in residential care, I bring calm, regulated presence, strong observational skills, and results- driven approach that prioritizes stability, growth, and performance under pressure.

I have many years of babysitting experience. I have been a tutor for kindergartner/pre-school age students while in high school, and worked in a children's day program for over 4 years. I have taken numerous child development classes in college. I love working with children and making a difference in their lives!
