I’m a Vanderbilt graduate with a bachelors in psychology, a minor in child development, and a CPR/BLS certification. In college I spent a lot of my time volunteering at Vanderbilt’s children’s hospital. I spent the last 9 months as a childcare teacher to infants, toddlers, and children up to six years old. I love working with children. Both caring for them and teaching them. Being able to be a positive influence in a child’s life is not only rewarding, but I find it to be an opportunity that one cannot find in many other places.

I love working with children because I know I am doing what is best and right for them 100% of the time. Children are a gift and I enjoy helping them become the best version of themselves. I believe there are outdated ways of discipline. I think positive reinforcement is essential in helping a child gain a strong self-esteem for this harsh world. Constantly barking at a child for every little thing causes a child to lose self-confidence. That said, discipline is of the utmost importance to ensure kids will establish a foundation to respect others. I love to be hands on. I get down and play and try to be a role model of doing the right thing at all times.. I currently work in a classroom setting and the children just flock to me. That is why I would be the best option for your children!

I love taking care of kids. I’m the oldest sister to 6 children ranging from 3-16 currently. I just moved away from them which has made me miss working with them. I was also a para for a kindergarten which I enjoyed. I am certified in CPR because I was a lifeguard and know basic first aid. I only can work till 5 with enough time to get home everyday except tuesdays and wednesdays due to another job that will conflict, I can however request days off or to switch if needed. I will do very early mornings if need be as well!

Hello, I'm Elizabeth! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky, and I’ve grown up caring for kids of all ages. I started by helping take care of my younger brother at a young age, and over the years I’ve babysat toddlers, infants, and young children for relatives and family friends. I also worked in the daycare at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Bowling Green, where I cared for large groups of children ranging from toddlers to young youth. In addition, I served as a youth leader at both my church and the Karenni Cultural Preservation Center, working closely with teens and young adults. These experiences have made me confident, adaptable, and very comfortable managing different age groups and personalities. I consider myself responsible, patient, and genuinely nurturing. I’m organized and attentive, especially when it comes to helping kids clean up, stay on routine, and complete homework or chores. I love keeping children engaged by teaching fun games, talking about books, and doing creative activities like sketching, painting, and other crafts. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, whether that’s playing soccer, going for walks, or exploring nature, so I enjoy getting kids moving in safe, fun ways. Energetic, creative, and calm under pressure, I always strive to create a safe, positive, and exciting environment where kids feel supported and happy.

Hi! My names Eliana, I love to be an energetic sitter because I adore child-like faith, steering children’s hearts, and being an engaging positive influence in kids lives! Since I was 12, I have gained experience with children of all ages and love to provide kids with fun activities outside of technology to help them learn and stimulate growth! Simultaneously, I always emphasize for myself to keep an attitude of patience and self-awareness around your little ones because I believe that makes the most impact on a child’s development. I am so excited to bring great and supportive experiences to you and your family!!!

Hi! I’m a recent graduate from UK and will be starting my masters program at WKU in the fall. I absolutely love kids and cannot wait until I get to have my own! I've been watching children since I turned 15 and have babysat for many coworkers, family friends, and previous teachers. I've been a 4H camp counselor for many years in the past and have had such a blast! As of right now, I only have one class on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 2-4:45, so I should have plenty of free time to help out if needed!

Hi! I am an eighteen year old High School student, looking for ways to help out within my community! I started professionally Baby-sitting when I was 13, but had years of experience before hand. I am the 2nd eldest of 7 children, 3 of which are disabled. My youngest brother was born with Spina Bifida, and both of my younger twin sisters have ADHD and Autism. I worked for years helping family, friends, and strangers be able to live their lives as they need with the comfort of knowing their children are safe and enjoying their time at home! I'm an extremely creative person and I adore being able to create new fun games and help with school projects. Because I come from such a complex family, I work great under stressful circumstances and am a quick decision maker. I can't wait to help your little ones grow, learn, and thrive!
