Find experienced babysitters in Townshend, VT

Salutations Everyone! My name is Christine Bree Wirthlin, but please call me Bree (like the cheese—just spelled differently!). I’m originally from North Carolina and moved to chase some big dreams and continue my education. I’m currently a graduate student at Antioch University, working toward my Master’s in Dance/Movement Therapy with a concentration in Couples and Family Therapy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with double minors in Human Development & Family Science and Sociology—which basically means I really love learning how kids grow, think, feel, and play! I have lots of hands-on experience with kiddos, from tiny infants to energetic 13-year-olds. I spent about five years working with the Autism Society of North Carolina and I also worked for a Behavioral Health company as a Behavioral Technician , supporting children with diverse needs through structure, creativity, patience, and lots of encouragement. I currently work in Childwatch at the YMCA, where I help create a safe, fun space so parents can enjoy a workout or a little well-deserved self-care. I’m also the oldest of four girls, so babysitting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From bedtime routines and snack time to imaginative play and calming big emotions, I’m comfortable jumping into all parts of a child’s world. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities while I continue my graduate studies. I truly love working with children and watching their imaginations run wild—whether that means dance parties, art time, storytelling, or cozy wind-down moments before bed. I can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos—I’m sure we’ll have so much fun together!

Hi! Im the mom of a great 3 year old near Londonderry, VT. I became really passionate about postpartum and family supports after my daughter was born. I’ve since created local educational groups for families, volunteered with PSI and become a VT certified doula. I’m also certified in perinatal mental health. Currently, I’m looking to offer some family supports after in the shape of childcare. I have availability on Mondays at my home with my child and another 3 year old. We spend most days outside playing in the creek, yard or garden while the weather is nice. We also play indoors with toys, make art and read books. We do not have screen time and I’m happy to provide meals or serve yours. I am involved. I am happy to elucidate about the great big world around us to curious young minds. I get muddy catching frogs. I’m on the floor playing. I’m into building confidence.
