Hi, my name is Bailey and I have a passion for caring for youth! From a young age I started doing volunteer babysitting at my church and loved it. When it was time for me to get my first job in high school I knew it needed to be with kids and began nannying. I later went on to work at a childcare center and soon became the leader of the site. My favorite part of working with youth is watching them learn independence in a loving and nurturing environment, and when the dialogue changes from “I need help with this” to “look what I can do now!” A Little About Me: I love being outside and working with my hands. In my free time you would see me with my friends and family or walking my dog. I love crafting and repurposing old items as well! My most recent hobby I picked up is crocheting!

In addition, I’ve spent time helping in my mom’s special education classroom, which has given me experience working with children who have special needs. I bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every babysitting job, and I truly love creating a fun and safe environment for kids.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and nurturing, and I know how to manage behavior in a positive and respectful way. I am a very out going and happy person. My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.
