I am a graduate student at WKU, studying to become a School Psychologist. I have a pretty random schedule, but I would love to help out anyone who is looking for a sitter they can use every once in a while. On breaks, I am free as a bird. During school, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have babysat for over 10 years from infancy all the way up through middle school. I have experience with children with disabilities and adults and children with traumatic brain injury. I have a lot of experience with a variety of demographics. If you have any further questions, please reach out! I would love to help!
