I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months

I’m 22 years old and have been working in childcare since I was 16. Before that, I used to babysit my siblings and the younger children of some close family friends. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I’m currently a lead teacher for the 2-year-old room at my center. I’m CPR and first aid certified, have completed the mandatory reporter training, and universal precautions training. I can assist with potty training, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and meal preparation. I enjoy planning and preparing age-appropriate crafts and activities to keep the children engaged when the weather permits us from going outside and burn off energy. From a young age, I’ve always wanted to work with young children and contribute to their learning and development.

I am super passionate and excited! I love working with kids and helping people. I just graduated high school and I’m ready to make a difference. I babysat my younger cousin for a few years after school and I’ve worked at Beyond The Bell since the beginning of the school year. I love interacting with kids and losing at dodgeball to kids half my size.

Hi families! I love babysitting because it allows me to help children build confidence, learn new skills, and thrive in a fun, encouraging environment. With over two years of daycare childcare experience as well as specialized training as a current Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I bring a unique blend of safety, structure, and positive energy to your home. My experience and skills have a strong background working with neurodivergent children, including those with Autism and ADHD. My RBT experience means I excel at understanding diverse learning styles, managing big emotions calmly, and keeping daily routines stress-free. Whether your child needs help staying on track with homework, navigating transitions, or just loves creative play, I use patient, positive-reinforcement techniques to keep them engaged and happy. I have obtained many advanced safety and training certifications. Your child's well-being is my absolute top priority. I am fully certified in infant, child, and adult CPR/First Aid. I also hold advanced certifications in crisis safety care and health precautions. I am proactive, reliable, and dedicated to creating a secure environment where your kids can feel safe and supported.

I have professional experience working in childcare with infants through school-age children, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, managing routines, preparing meals and snacks, assisting with homework, planning engaging activities, and handling bedtime routines. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, and I believe in creating a caring environment where kids feel safe and supported. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would want for my own family.
