I have between 5-6 years of paid childcare experience but I actually have 7-8 years of experience taking care of children that’s aren’t my family’s! I first started volunteering in my church nursery at 12, and at 15 was hired on as a paid childcare employee. While doing that Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings I also helped out Sunday evening in my church’s awanas program mentoring children and teaching them about God. When I graduated high school I got hired as a counselor at a summer Christian camp! I loved going on adventures with the little kids and playing games! When I got back home I started cosmetology school and became a part time nanny to a special needs boy. I took care of him and his 4 siblings for about 2 years until I graduated! Now I am a full time hairstylist and try to get back to see them as much as possible! Aside from doing hair I help my sister take care of her children on some evenings. I have twin nieces so I have lots of experience with twins! Recently I’ve noticed I miss working with children! My goal is to find a lifestyle where I can balance my hair career along with taking care of children and pouring my love and attention into them while giving their parents some much needed rest or time to work on their own career! I have experience with household chores and cooking. I am also good with dogs, I grew up with them all my life and now own two of my own! I also have training in first aid and CPR from when I was a camp counselor but my certification has since expired, however I am willing to get recertified if needed.

I truly love working with children because every day with them is full of curiosity, laughter, and growth. Being a sitter gives me the chance to make a positive impact while providing kids with a safe, caring, and fun environment. I have several years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve completed a 2-year student teaching practicum in K–4 classrooms, worked at a YWCA summer camp, and have babysat for family and friends. These opportunities gave me hands-on experience supporting children’s learning, helping with routines, and encouraging creativity through games and activities. In addition to my experience, I bring valuable skills and training. I hold current CPR, AED, and First Aid certification as well as a Fingerprint Clearance Card. I’m also pursuing my B.S. in Elementary Education, which has given me strong skills in child development, classroom management, and building positive relationships with kids and families. I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for your little ones!

I have been babysitting while taking my own toddler (2 years) to work with me everyday. I am very capable of doing the work expected of me while having her with me also. She enjoys playing with the kids I babysit and loves to help me with housework also. I love being around kids of all ages and help with their development, creating a lifelong relationship with them, helping get on a set routine, along with help take the load of housework off of the parents. I am not CPR certified but have taken a class and will be more than happy to get certified if required.

Although I’ve never worked in a day care or a professional nanny job, I’ve been a babysitter many times growing up, as well as being the oldest sibling of five children. I was raised on a farm with lots of animals and have two dogs of my own so I am open to feeding/ letting out/ taking care of pets as well. I can do housework, dishes, laundry, help kids with their homework, etc. I love to do arts and crafts, be outdoors, and make sure that any kid I’m babysitting has a fun time. I’m a mother to a 14 month old myself, with a baby on the way! I’m dependable, punctual, and always have a good attitude.
