Hello, I’m an experienced babysitter with a genuine passion for caring for children. My journey in childcare began early while helping raise my younger siblings, which instilled a strong sense of responsibility and patience. Along with childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I focus on creating a safe, engaging space where children can enjoy both fun and educational activities. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and can assist with school pickups and drop-offs as needed. My schedule is flexible, as I work part-time as a realtor, allowing me to accommodate a variety of family needs. References from families I’ve worked with are available upon request.

I am a fun, playful, educated, and punctual nanny! I have been a nanny for 6 years and have my CPR and CNA certification. I have also taken child development classes & psychology! I am a kid at heart so I love what I do!

Hi! I am 24 years old & have been babysitting since I was 12. I have watched up to 5 children, ages ranging from newborn-13 years old. I majored in Elementary Education and currently work as a Kindergarten teacher, so I am passionate about working with kids!

I have babysat for a family with kids ages 3 months, 2 years old, 3 years old, 4 years old, 12 years old, and 13 years old. Babysitting them entailed changing the baby and 2 and 3-year-old's, as they were not potty-trained yet. Feeding all of the children. Making sure all of the kids were entertained until bed time by playing with them and watching movies. And lastly, putting them all to bed. Mid last year I was a full-time nanny for a few months for a family with two children ages 1 years old and 3 years old. For this family it was thoroughly important that the children be kept busy all day with fun and brain enhancing activities. Arts and crafts, puzzles, and trips to the library were just some of the activities I did with the kids. It was so much fun! For this family I also did things like preparing dinner, cleaning the house (bathrooms. kitchen, living areas), and doing laundry. I have fallen in love with being a babysitter/nanny because I feel as if children are one of the few wonders of the world. I enjoy teaching them things, helping them learn, and making sure they feel cared for and nurtured. I believe that what makes me good at my job is that i have such patience and compassion when working with children. I have pretty open availability except 2 days out of the week-as I am a college student and I have school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am-1:45pm. I hope I am a good fit for your family!
