I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life.

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! I can’t wait to get to know you and your kiddo(s)!!
