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.

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! 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!

I have a genuine love for caring for children and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow and feel secure. Being a sitter allows me to support families while building meaningful connections with children as they learn, explore, and develop new skills. I truly enjoy engaging with little ones through age-appropriate play, routines, and learning activities that support their emotional and developmental needs. I have hands-on experience caring for toddlers and young children, including ages 1–5, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once. My experience includes following daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, supporting nap times, and providing attentive supervision in a home setting. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I always strive to make both children and parents feel at ease.

Ever since I was 15 years old I love taking care of kids. Making them breakfast, food, taking them to a park, etc. I also like babysitting just so the parents can go out have fun for themselves like they used to :)

Hi, I’m Nyia! I’m a responsible and compassionate college student with a genuine love for working with children. Growing up with six siblings gave me hands‑on experience caring for kids of all ages, teaching me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment. In addition, I’ve worked as a daycare teacher, which strengthened my ability to manage routines, support learning, and engage children in creative activities. Communication is one of my strengths — I value being clear and thoughtful with parents so they feel confident and at ease. My goal is to brighten each child’s day while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands.

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!
