Hello, I’m Linda and I'm 50 years old & a cancer survivor. I have worked as a nanny for over 25 years also including babysitting from my teens and on. I enjoy crafts, rolling around in the grass, looking for bugs, chalking on the sidewalks along w/ trips to parks, museums, swim & music classes, and Library trips for story time. I have also been in the financial industry for twenty nine years but have never lost the love of caring for children. At this time in my life my husband has convinced me to follow what I love. This would be working with children full time. I serve at my church in the infant & two year old room as a lead teacher. I also have worked at Kinder-care & Just Plane Kids. Since I was young I gravitated towards children and my love to be around them as well as caring for them has never changed. I've worked in the financial Industry for 29 years and helped clients with opening accounts to planning their retirement plans. I've opened up 529 Plans for their children and seen them grow up to use these accounts. So in my years of helping families I still benefited helping children. When dealing with clients with children and helping them during tantrums or keeping them busy as their parents review documents. Raising my niece along with working at KinderCare and Just plane Kids for a total of five years. In those years I rotated between the infant room and two year old room. I have experience hands on in facilities but over 20 years of raising and loving other families children. I would love to have the opportunity to meet you and speak to you openly about my experiences and how much I would love to help you care for your children.

With 5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed a genuine love for babysitting and working with children. I’ve always felt a strong connection to kids, and through my work, I’ve had the privilege of helping them grow, learn, and explore the world around them. I’m a hard worker who’s dedicated to providing the best care for the children I watch. Whether it’s creating engaging activities, helping with homework, or just being there to listen, I put my all into every job. My background includes a Child Development course I took in high school, which gave me valuable insights into the stages of growth and development in children. This knowledge helps me better understand and meet the unique needs of each child I care for. In addition, I’m currently majoring in psychology and social work with a focus on adolescence. This academic path deepens my understanding of how children think, feel, and develop, which allows me to be more empathetic and supportive in my babysitting role. It’s not just about taking care of kids—it’s about supporting their emotional well-being, guiding their growth, and building a positive, nurturing environment. I love knowing that I’m not only helping children feel safe and comfortable but also contributing to their development and happiness. Babysitting is more than a job for me; it’s a rewarding experience that allows me to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
