Hi, My name is Kelsey. I am a fun, easy going, reliable individual. My passion for working with children has extended throughout my life starting with babysitting for my family members.

I have worked as a preschool teacher at a day care with children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I am CPR certified.

Hi! My name is Michelle. I come from a very large and involved family and have been caring for both children and seniors for most of my life. I enjoy caring for others and believe in a strong support system at home. I prefer to get out and allow kids to learn and experience life first hand through adventures and activities rather than through a screen all of the time. I am college educated, CPR /First Aid Certified and look forward to getting to know you, your family, and how I can make life simpler for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time and have a great day!!

I worked at a daycare for about a year, and I loved it. Working with kids and being able to help them out with homework and crafts and other things is very fun to me. I worked with infants through 12 year olds!

Hello everyone! I am a recent graduate of Lewis’s Master program in Clinic Mental Health Counseling for children and adolescents. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember with a wide range of ages. I have chosen a career working with kids because of my passion and eagerness to provide a fun and safe environment. Please feel free to reach out to me!

Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic sitter with over 3 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from infants to older kids. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of responsibilities, including diaper changes, meal prep, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR certified and a trained lifeguard, so safety is always my top priority. I also teach swim lessons, which has helped me develop strong supervision skills and the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I love staying active and engaged with kids and can also help with schoolwork, making learning fun and manageable. In addition to childcare, I can cook, drive to activities or errands, and help with kids’ hair if needed. I’m about to graduate high school and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for!

Hello, My name is Brooklynn. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently enrolled in college to become a child psychiatric nurse. My hobbies include: reading, exploring and just in general learning new things. My passion for children developed around age 16 when I would babysit my younger cousins and the neighborhood children throughout the whole summer. When I turned 18 the first thing I did was apply at a daycare as an assistant teacher and here I am a year later still pursuing a career involving children. One of the greatest treasures I have experienced from working with children is that not only do we as adults teach children certain life skills, but they also teach us. Through children I have learned the beauty of forgiving, being happy no matter the circumstance and that the smallest gesture can mean the most when it is done with a pure heart. I hope to depart all of these attributes into children I will be caring for in the future. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to learn a little about me. God bless you and have a nice rest of your day.

My name is Adrianna and I am a full time preschool teacher! I have always been great with kids and have always been the family babysitter! I have my own car and reliable transportation. I have previous CPR certification and special needs experience. I have my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and am available as an occasional sitter! Previous experience includes teaching in the daycare setting, Registered Behavior Technician in a clinical setting, and babysitting.

I am a sophomore in college I do online so it doesn’t interfere with any of my previous obligations. I recently became a registered behavior technician so I mainly work with kids with autism. Before that I was a camp counselor and with both jobs I worked with all ages. I have about 4-5 years of experience working with kids. The best part is honestly watching them grow to have their own opinions and view on what’s going on around them. I’ve learned so much from kids and they have taught me a number of things like how to make beaded animals. Now it’s one of my hobbies!!
