Working with children is my passion and I have done this my entire career. I am a certified teacher who chose to make childcare my full-time career in 2008. I have experience with ages newborn to 15 years old, including multiples. Pets and helping around the house are not a problem. I enjoy an on the go lifestyle and keeping little ones active inside and outside of the home. I am reliable, honest, clean, and organized. I have a reliable and safe car with insurance and a clean driving record. I have a clean background check and resume with references available. I take pride in nurturing children and infants as they grow and learn, socially and educationally. I have two children of my own (both in school) giving me additional experience and compassion. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

We had Jenna nanny for our 1 and 2.5 year old full time for a week before they started daycare and have used her as a sitter since then. She's fantastic; she's reliable, the kids love her, she comes up with fun things to do with them such as walks to the park, filling up the kiddie pool, play-doh, reading books etc. She prepared their snacks and lunch, kept up with the potty training schedule, put them down for naps. We highly recommend her as a nanny and sitter!

Robin is amazing. She's on time and always prepared. I wish we could keep her forever. Her word really is her bond. She cooked dinner every night for the family (evening babysitting), and she always brought crafts and activities to do with the children. I would hire her again in a second.

Hi families! I’m Carolyn Walker — a mom, early childhood therapist, and caregiver who truly loves helping little ones grow. Parenthood has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m so grateful to share it with my wonderful husband and our spirited three-year-old son. Being a mother has only strengthened what I’ve spent the last ten years doing professionally: supporting children’s emotional, social, and behavioral development. As an early childhood therapist specializing in behavioral therapy and autism support, I understand how uniquely and beautifully each child learns and grows. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and meeting children exactly where they are. Whether you need reliable babysitting, consistent nanny support, or an extra set of hands during busy moments, I bring my therapeutic background directly into your home by creating: ✨ Safe, nurturing, and consistent routines ✨ Hands-on, age-appropriate activities ✨ Calm, supportive guidance during challenging moments ✨ Environments filled with joy, play, and trust I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your child’s world. My goal is to make your little one feel supported, engaged, and genuinely cared for whether I’m hosting them in my home or caring for them in yours. I’m excited to partner with families who want not just a sitter, but someone who understands child development, loves children wholeheartedly, and will cheer your little one on every step of the way.

Carolyn was fantastic! She was quick to respond and a great communicator. She was on time and made me feel confident that our baby was in good hands. Carolyn sent me pictures and updates throughout the evening. We used her for a onetime, special occasion and would love to work with her again. I loved her vibe and energy and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for keeping my baby safe and happy!
