I have watched a family of children for several years with children ages 2-8, and I also was a soccer coach for Soccer Shots for a summer, so I am very comfortable working with young kids. I am a self employed photographer so my schedule is very flexible and I’m willing to work with your schedule.

I graduated in 2019 with a BA in French and Spanish. I am a very hardworking and caring individual and, I love children. I am very family oriented with a little brother of my own that I have cared for my entire life. He is like a son to me. Before leaving North Carolina where I attended school, I was working every day with children grades K-12 at an after-school program along with my studies and playing basketball. I currently babysit regularly for several local families. I have been working professionally in childcare since 2017, and babysitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience with working with children one on one and/or multiple children in a group setting, so babysitting multiple children is no problem for me. In addition to assisting the children with homework and other academic assignments, I was an art and language teacher at the after school program mentioned above, and a tutor as well. I still currently tutor. I would be willing to work with your child on those things while babysitting. I am CPR certified and have BLS training. I believe in being very active and hands-on with activities because that is the best way to learn and play ! General availability: weekends/evenings/nights

I currently work as a phlebotomist on the third shift and am CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident knowing their children are in capable hands. I am dependable, attentive, and enjoy engaging with kids through activities, games, and learning opportunities. With my flexible daytime availability this summer, I am excited to provide reliable, caring babysitting services to families in need.
