Hi! My name is Angelina, and I’ve always had a natural love for caring for children. I grew up in a big family and have spent the past few years babysitting my three younger cousins, ages 2 to 10. These hands-on experiences have given me the skills to handle different age groups with patience, creativity, and care. I enjoy making each day fun and engaging for kids through crafts, music, reading, and active play. I'm also happy to help with cooking, cleaning, bath time, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR trained, a safe and responsible driver, and always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children I care for. I’m organized, dependable, and love creating a clean, happy, and structured environment.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.
