With over 16 years of experience in early childhood education—both as a childcare center owner and an operations manager—my passion for working with children runs deep. While I’ve had the privilege of leading teams, supporting families, and managing full-scale childcare operations, what continues to bring me the most joy is the hands-on connection I get through babysitting. There’s something incredibly special about the one-on-one time babysitting allows. It gives me the opportunity to focus entirely on a child’s individual needs, interests, and development in a calm, personal setting. Every child is unique, and I love being able to adapt to their personality and help them learn, laugh, and feel safe. Babysitting brings me back to the heart of why I got into childcare in the first place: to make a difference in a child’s day—and life. Whether it’s engaging in play-based learning, comforting them when they’re upset, or simply sharing giggles over storytime, those small but powerful moments are what fuel my passion. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development, health and safety, and what it means to truly partner with families. As a babysitter, I bring not just experience, but intention. I’m not just there to supervise—I’m there to support, encourage, and care with purpose. At the end of the day, I love being a babysitter because it’s personal, impactful, and meaningful. And even after all these years, the joy of seeing a child thrive never gets old.

Why I Love Being a Sitter: I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with kids and helping them grow in positive ways. Every child has their own personality and energy, and I love finding creative ways to connect — whether it’s through games, sports, crafts, or just good conversation. It’s rewarding knowing parents can count on me to keep their children safe, happy, and supported. Experience: I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked as a paraprofessional for two years, supporting students in the classroom, helping with academics, and encouraging positive behavior. I’ve also worked as a basketball coach, where I taught teamwork, discipline, and confidence while making sure kids stayed active and had fun. In addition, I’ve served as a mentor in a dorm-style setting, supervising more than 15 kids, guiding them through daily routines, and helping them make good choices. Skills and Training: I’m reliable, patient, and great at balancing multiple responsibilities. I’m trained in basic first aid and CPR, and I know how to stay calm and focused in any situation. My experience in education and coaching has strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Above all, I bring warmth, structure, and positivity to every family I work with.
