Childcare has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember - my mom ran a home daycare throughout my entire childhood, and from a young age I loved helping out with the kids. I grew up learning how to create a fun, structured, and caring environment where children feel safe and supported. In high school, I assisted at another home daycare and worked in a preschool, helping with everything from meal prep and crafts to reading time and outdoor play. I've also spent years babysitting for families in my community, caring for children of all ages and building close, trusting relationships. I'm also a full-time online student working toward my Bachelor's in Public and Nonprofit Administration. My online schedule gives me the flexibility to balance school and work and it's helped me become even more self-disciplined and dependable. Warmly, Hannah

Hi! I’m Maddy, and I would love to work with your family. A little bit about me, I am 24 years old, married, with one baby girl of my own. Prior to starting a career in childcare, I was adopted & raised by two loving parents who were also licensed foster parents. I know you’re probably asking why that is relevant to caring for YOUR child. Well, I’m glad you asked. Throughout the duration of my childhood, I was able to learn alongside my parents, how to care for children of all various backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and with different levels of needs. After graduating high school, I promptly started a career path in caring for children. I am now 6, going on 7 years in the field, and will officially be a preschool teacher at the end of this year! My philosophy is that EVERY child deserves to feel loved, safe, and seen. I am confident that my skill set along with the passion for children I bring to the table, make me a perfect match to help meet the needs in your home :) I also have redone my first aid/ CPR certification and can provide proof of that along with my personal & professional references as requested!

I have been babysitting part-time for over 20 years. I have experience babysitting children with asthma, severe allergies, and ADHD. I feel comfortable babysitting for all age groups and genders. I have watched up to 5 children at one time. I can help prepare meals, clean, do laundry, transport kids to/from school and events, and run errands. I have familiarity with American Sign Language. I grew up with animals and feel comfortable watching them as well. I work full-time in Springfield Monday through Friday 8am-5pm, so I am looking for a family to help out on nights and weekends. I have reliable transportation and do not smoke.
