Hi! I’m an experienced childcare provider with several years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to school-aged kids. I have a strong background in child development and leadership, having worked as a Camp Director at Camp Jorn, where I managed programs and supported children in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m currently finishing my master’s degree in Psychology, which has deepened my understanding of child behavior and emotional development. I’m passionate about creating a positive, engaging atmosphere where kids feel supported, safe, and excited to learn and play!

I love working with kids/children because they bring a different kind of joy people look for, kids aren’t the easiest, they aren’t always the calmest but kids are special and can have a great impact on your life. It’s also a dream career of mine to work in the nursing field as a Nic-u nurse right now I am a student at tricoci to be an esthetician Monday-Friday 5pm-10pm, but will be going back to school again to get my main goal and main degree! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old or younger if I may remember my mom has ran a daycare/foster care program for yearssss, she’s adopted kids, she’s took in kids who are homeless and etc for years, I’ve always been a big help, took care of them plenty days she wasn’t available and or even with elderly people! What sets me apart is it’s not just about the money, it’s not just about being the best it’s about making sure the kids feel the love and are comfortable with you, knowing they not only see you but appreciate you and or know that they can trust you! I am 21 years old, my birthday is August 25th, I am working towards getting me a car so I can be able to also have a car for if I needed to take the kids anywhere, I am also pregnant with beautiful twin boys and trying to provide for them !

I’m a creative and dependable babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest of six siblings, I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, so caring for kids feels second nature to me. I love incorporating learning into everyday activities, whether through crafts, cooking together, or fun educational games. I’m artsy and enjoy helping kids explore their imagination through projects and play. I also believe getting outside is important, so whenever possible, I make sure we spend some time enjoying fresh air. Whether it’s preparing a healthy meal, keeping everyone engaged, or creating a safe and fun environment, I bring both responsibility and creativity to every babysitting job.

I just graduated from college with a history education degree. I am a part-time substitute teacher while I look for full time teaching positions in high schools for next school year. I have been a gymnastics coach for 6 years and have worked consistently with kids from toddler to middle school age. As a licenced teacher I am great with homework help.

I have a car and zero driving infractions on my record. I love working with kids and wanted to have something I enjoy doing to fill my time and help out busy families.

I have over 18 years of childcare experience with both multiples and single children ages newborn to 13 years of age. I was a nanny for a few families, but I entered into corporate America to see my other options out in this world. I have been in corporate with Chase for three years, but I am realizing my heart is with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified with many early childhood trainings behind me working at Kindercare previously. I have completed my Associate's and Bachelor's degree in Science of Criminal Justice. I also have 12 credit hours completed in my Master's for Early Childhood Education. My husband and I have three dogs, three rabbits, two chinchillas, and lots of fish, so I am used to furry friends too. I look forward to the new opportunities and adventures life holds!

I'm a mother of two little ones. I have baby sat in my younger years and have been a bus driver for 8 years in total. I love children and I love to see how thier little minds work. Iam a strong believer in providing a loving structured environment where children can express themselves and thrive. Safety is a priority to me. I want children to have fun and feel comfortable when they are in my care. Since I have two little ones of my own I would babysit at my own home, ( a home visit is available to reassure parents) If child pickup from school is needed I'm open to that depending on the distance. If you want a motherly environment for you child I would be a good choice for you.
