As a young child my mom did income daycare, so I grew up helping out with it. As well as helping raise my younger sister, after my mom passed away. I've continued to babysit when need be for neighbors, friends, family, and other children. I have been babysitting for at least 10 years, and have nannied for 3. lI've watched children of all ages, and feel extremely comfortable with them all. I've recently been watching a 3 year old and an infant, or an 8 and 10 year old. I've done many things with the children, making any meals, taking them to the pool, walks, the park, naps and bedtimes. I'm very artsy and enjoy doing crafts. I also love the outdoors, and would rather be outside then inside. I have no issues with any pets. I'm CPR certified, and can handle any situation comfortably. I do have my own car and am willing to take car of any drop offs or pick ups as needed. I am opened to anything! I also have a 6 month old that I would like to be able to tag along with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, my name is Reese Burke. I am 19 years old, and I am currently in my sophomore year of college at Central College. I have babysat for family members, as well as family friends. I also worked for two families this past summer. I want to babysit because I love working with kids. I have worked at an after school daycare, and I spent my senior year of high school in an elementary classroom learning to work with kids. I am able to perform CPR, I learned in high school health class. And I have also worked with multiple children at once. I am comfortable working with children of any age! The hours that best work for me right now, are any times after 3:30pm any day of the week, as well as any time before 11am on M/W/F. I do understand that being in college while babysitting can be a challenge, but I believe I have good time management skills, and I can make it work!

I'm a pre-nursing student currently working part time as a registered behavioral technician with kids who have autism. My 8 years of babysitting experience has provided me a plethora of skills (meal prep, diaper changes, calming strategies) and being CPR + first aid certified has only enriched my ability to provide quality care to youth. I have extensive experience with children of all ages including those with special needs. I have my own car, I'm patient, creative, and enjoy building connections with kids, and I'm comfortable with all personalities and age groups.
