Greetings Parents and Guardians, If you’re reading this, it means you are looking for a: trustworthy, experienced, caring, fun-loving, and safe babysitter for your most precious part of your life-your child(ren). I started babysitting when I was 10 and just kept going. I babysat all through college and even during my career as a teacher. I have worked with children in three ways: babysitting, tutoring, and being an elementary school teacher and media specialist. I even taught at the graduate school level which was very interesting and entertaining as the adults complained more about homework than my fifth graders! I enjoy children and I respect their idiosyncrasies and personalities. With this in mind, I have experience with children who are gifted and talented and as well as those who are on the autism spectrum. Not every babysitter has that experience nor is comfortable with children on the spectrum or gifted. Read more I enjoy doing crafts and especially baking with the children I babysit. My pizza parties are very popular! It’s important we have fun together but also learn life skills in the process. I adore reading to children and believe that reading should bookend our day together. Additionally, if you have pets—that’s wonderful! I adore cats and dogs and find their presence in a family so warm and fun. Certainly, my bio has you excited to book and meet me! I can’t wait to meet your children! So contact me to schedule a meeting with you and your family. I look forward to adding your child(ren) to my babysitting schedule.

Ally was amazing. She showed up and did an amazing job sitting for four rambunctious children. She was a joy to work with and even brought little activities over for the kids. Would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

We love Ally! She is very responsive, punctual, and always has a fun activity planned for our kiddos — homemade pizzas, cookie decorating, etc. The kids are always thrilled when she comes to sit and we are confident we are leaving them in great hands!
