Hello My name is Payton and I go to school for early childhood education.I have been working in a daycare for 2 years working with the ages 6 weeks old to 9 years old. I love to go on walks and plant flowers in the spring and summer.

Caring for children has always been my greatest joy. With hands-on experience working in a hospital setting, I bring not only compassion but also responsibility and attentiveness to every family I work with. As a proud parent myself, I understand the patience, creativity, and nurturing care that little ones need to thrive. I love engaging kids in fun, safe activities that help them learn and grow, while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to making each moment positive and reassuring. Families can count on me to treat their children with the same love and care I give my own!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for others and being someone families can trust. It’s rewarding to know I can create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for children when their parents are away. Every child is different, and I enjoy building those individual connections, helping them learn, laugh, and feel supported. It’s more than just watching kids — it’s about showing up for them in ways that matter. I was working in an afterschool program at oak grove elementary called ASK. I am currently working at a family day home care program working with 3months- 12 year olds. I do have all my certificates in a folder so I would bring that with me!!
