Based in Merced! My two years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11yrs old have solidified my desire to support families. I am patient, friendly, and comfortable enforcing household rules. I offer verbal updates at pickup, and I'm happy to communicate through text or phone calls, following your preferred method. I love playing outdoor sports, educational games, and even some technology-based games with kids. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications. I'm comfortable with pets and willing to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision. With my college degree, I'm confident in my ability to care for up to three children. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to discussing how I can support your family's needs.

I love being a sitter and helping families who need someone they can trust to watch their children. I have about two years of experience caring for kids through watching my nieces and nephews, and I’ve learned how to keep them safe, engaged, and entertained. I also have my own car, so I’m able to make it to destinations and transport things when needed. Caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m always happy to help support families in any way I can
