Hi, I’m Zoie! I absolutely love spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. Babysitting has been a part of my life since I was 12, and over the years I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also worked as a certified swim instructor for 3 years, giving me the chance to teach kids new skills while ensuring their safety. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as medical grade oxygen certified, so safety is always my top priority. Beyond that, I truly enjoy creating a fun, active, and supportive environment for kids—whether that means playing sports, swimming, exploring outdoors, or just spending time learning and being creative together. My husband and I are currently in the process of becoming foster parents, which reflects how deeply I value caring for and supporting children. Along with childcare, I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and keeping routines running smoothly for your family. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and energetic, I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones!

Professionally I am employed as a Board Certified Autism Technician and looking to supplement my income with sitting.

I have professional training and skills in behavior and crisis management, and have worked with children who have mild to severe developmental disabilities. My work experience with young children (toddler - 12 years) includes daily care and basic needs, diaper changing, meal prep, and creative/fun activities. Initially, I focus on building rapport and basic needs, and once I've gotten to know a child and their family, I focus on activities that are fun, creative, unique, and are engaging for us to do together. Professionally I manage behavior challenges from the mild to the extreme.

This background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs.
