I’m currently looking for part or full time positions. Most recently worked with a two year old and his one year old twin brothers. I’ve worked 1:1 with autistic kiddos working on speech, working through behavioral “problems” and have done sitdown table work as well with some kids in my class my first year in the school district preschool (I left that job after Covid hit and they wanted us to go back in person as well as conflict with the teacher I was a para for.) Working with kids is my biggest passion and creating connections and special bonds with them is my biggest joy. I’m very crafty and artistic and love to incorporate that in any way I can when I’m babysitting. Very basic knowledge of ASL (fingerspelling, common signs (milk, drink, eat/food, please, thank you, want, need, help, etc.)). **Fully covid Vaccinated! And boosted!**

With over 20 years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, I've had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages and backgrounds. Spending time with kids brings me immense joy, and while I'm excited for the future when I have little ones of my own, right now, I'm fully dedicated to creating fun and nurturing experiences for other families. Beyond childcare, I'm more than happy to lend a hand with household tasks like laundry, light cleaning, and meal prep. And if you're in need of a break, count me in for family vacations—I'll make sure the kids have a blast while you enjoy some well-deserved relaxation.

I fell in love with being a sitter when my sister started her family. Her girls are now 1 and 3 and a half years old, and I have spent so much time helping her with her girls, both while she's home and while she's away. Kids are so much fun, and it's a privilege to be involved in their lives as they learn how they want to be in this world. Sometimes a family just needs an extra person to entertain or clean up around the house, to give the parent staying at home a break. Other times, a parent or parents are working or need to take care of personal matters outside of the home, and need someone to be the primary caregiver while they are away. Whatever your family needs, I can accommodate so that your child feels consistently supported. I respect that every family has their own style, and I will gladly learn your rules and be the role you envision for your family. I have only assisted with family, so this is new territory for me, and possibly for you, too! I am more than happy to start slow, so that we can all get comfortable with each other.

I am a dependable, compassionate caregiver with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for both children and adults of different ages, capabilities, and ethnic backgrounds both personally and professionally. I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I have experience with daily routines such as meal preparation, light housekeeping related to childcare, homework help, bedtime routines, and transportation to and from activities. I am patient, attentive, and highly observant, which allows me to adapt to each child’s individual needs and personality. Safety is always my top priority, and I take responsibility and trust very seriously. In addition to babysitting, my background in caregiving has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly with parents, and provide reliable, consistent care. I genuinely enjoy helping families feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I have my own reliable transportation and am happy to assist with errands, school pick-ups, or activities as needed. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care you can count on.

Hi! I have years of experience preparing children for Kindergarten. Being CPR/First Aid certified as well as having my AA in early childhood education, qualifies me for this field of work but, my passion in making sure the kiddos in my care enter Kindergarten with confidence, makes me good at what I do.
