I love animals and kids. I always took my neighbors dog for walks. I grew up with having dogs and a couple of cats so I know how to take care of them. A few years back, I took care of a baby from one week to 6 months old, day to night. Her mom was friends with my mom so that's how I started looking after her, as well as her 10 year old big sister! I recently babysat a 6 year old in first grade for 6 months. She moved to Florida however, we still stay in touch and I’m her favorite babysitter. I do not have any CPR training however, I am willing to learn. I prefer to look after kids in Elementary School and up.

I am a college student who adores children and infants. They’re so joyful and clever and I love to be able to guide and care for them. I worked as an after school leader for grades k-5 for 4 months and took multiple online and in-person trainings, including first aid and CPR, to prepare for the role. I have two younger siblings and multiple nieces and nephews that I have taken care of throughout all their lives.

I’m a creative, compassionate sitter with over 11 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to teens. No age is too young or too old! I’ve supported kids with disabilities, behavioral needs, and mental health challenges, and have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and direct support professional. I’m CPR + First Aid certified, QPR trained, and currently finishing my psychology degree with a minor in studio art. I love using art, sensory play, and outdoor activities to help kids thrive. I bring a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and hands-on approach to every family I support.

I am 47 years old and have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood. I’m the oldest of 4 siblings and raised my siblings. I knew I loved taking care of kids and teaching them. I became a babysitter and nanny before I was out of high school. I knew then what career I wanted. While in college I started off as a lead infant teacher and worked my way up to preschool! I loved being in a clsssroom environment, but I can bring my skill sets to any environment! The most rewarding part is watching the excitement on a child’s face when they are learning and it’s fun! I also have worked with children who have special needs like autism and behavioral issues. I have worked with all parents and have great communication skills. I am also an artist and love to add my skills to fun learning. I pay attention to detail and have great conflict resolution skills. I have applied play based strategies like games and crafts to provide hands on learning. I am patient and comfortable with all personalities. I love to cook and pretty can tackle almost anything. Currently working on renewing my cpr/first aid training. I have all my clearances that are current including my background. Clearances and references upon request. I am looking forward to a new adventure. Feel free to contact me via phone/email anytime.
