Hello my name is Kelly Richardson, I am a U.S. Navy vet, single mom of 4 school aged children that’s looking for a job as something I already do at home, I’m ok with pet sitting, babysitting, and elder care sitting.I have prior experience in all of those categories. I used to babysit in my early 20s as well as pet sit/house sit before joining the military and recently took care of my grandmother last year before she passed away (cooking, cleaning, running errands, bathe, etc.) I’ve been an off and on stay at home mom for 12 years now, I find comfort in continuing to do the same thing outside of my home because I adore and love spending time with children, elders, pets and cleaning at times especially because it helps me burn my unwanted fat lol. The things that set me apart from most people is that I have a very genuine, caring, patient, loving, supportive, hardworking and passionate personality. I know that tackling the everyday keeping the house together on top of loved ones can be difficult at times especially while trying to establish a working life outside of the home but I can assure you that it’s a passion of mine and I will put my best foot forward on making sure that the family I’m working for feels that, and can come home worry and stress free like they should, especially if you’re the type to put the key in the key hole and dread walking into your home after a long day out at work. I’m here to lift one or many of your biggest loads off and make sure you can come home to a smile each and everyday.

I absolutely love being a sitter—it’s such a joy to spend time with kids and make a difference in their lives. Their energy, curiosity, and creativity keep every day exciting! My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive, and families can feel completely at ease. With 12 years of babysitting experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from snuggling and caring for infants to helping toddlers build routines and confidence. For school-aged kids, I’m there to help with homework, keep them entertained with creative activities, and ensure they’re having fun while learning. And when it comes to teens, I love being a supportive role model while giving them the independence they need. Over the years, I’ve picked up skills to handle all sorts of situations, whether it’s keeping things organized, managing different personalities, or adapting to each child’s unique needs. I also bring training in behavior management and educational techniques, so whether it’s a busy day of play or helping with schoolwork, I’m here to make life easier for your family!

I find it really rewarding to be a positive presence in a child’s life, whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can feel safe and happy around. I also love being part of their growth, even in small ways, and creating a safe, fun environment where they can thrive. I have over three years of experience working as a camp counselor, where I supervised and engaged groups of children in activities ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor games. Being a camp counselor has also given me the ability to problem solve and handle all types of situations. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger cousins, so I’m used to being hands-on with kids of different ages and personalities. These experiences have taught me how to manage routines, resolve conflicts gently, and keep kids entertained and safe. I’m very energetic, responsible, and quick to adapt. I know how to keep kids engaged with creative and age-appropriate activities, while also being mindful of their safety and emotional needs. I’ve learned a lot about communication, patience, and problem-solving from my camp counseling experience.
