Here is a little bit about me. *Self-description* I am spunky, fun and dependable. I enjoy doing crafts and playing games. I also take joy in playgrounds, riding bikes, swimming, the library, and other fun things! I feel I would be a great companion for your child. *Additional information* I began an interest in caring for children when I was 13. I would babysit for families in the neighborhood. As I entered high school they had a day care in one of the wings. I began working there for credit. From that point on I have always had a job working with children *Challenges of position* I have been with one of my families for 10 years, and I find that as they get older the respect level and listening skills decrease a little bit. It makes it difficult for me implement the rules of the house, so I have to be creative in my methods. *Rewards of position* It is a good feeling knowing that I am an important part in a child's life. Being able to watch them grow and help them with life decisions means a great deal to me.

Keely is excellent with our toddler. She is very communicative, honest and reliable. In a very short period, our toddler bonded well with her. She is always looking to help out and is super understanding of any specific needs or methods. Looking forward to working with her in the future.

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son and also two step daughters who are now adults. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

We met Sandie at the beginning of the pandemic through Dumpling, which is a personal shopping app. She was our food shopping angel during Covid and 2 years later not only does she still shop for us, but we have her occasionally babysit our 4 year old who loves Sandie! Flexible, thorough, and just all around a nice person.

Amber was fantastic with our 18 month old! They had a blast and we had no concerns about leaving our child in Amber's capable hands for a few hours. We look forward to working with Amber again!

Lucielle is wonderful. She is always on time, very responsive, she is kind, caring, creative and proactive. We brings the routine and attentiveness skills from having worked in a daycare center, but the warmth of a family friend. Both of my babies took to her immediately.

Sara has been such an amazing addition to our family over the last year. She has cared for our infant daughter who adores her. She helped us navigate our daughters changing needs, teething, sleep schedules, and more. She is incredibly proactive and jumps in to help out whenever needed which has been such a huge help. She has also been so flexible with all of the changes throughout the pandemic which made navigating the unique work and school changes much easier! We are so sad to no longer have her with us but we know she will be able to provide amazing care for another family!

Hello parents, As a former Nanny/Household Manger, who raised her family successfully, I am now hoping to find a kind and caring family who will appreciate my knowledge and experience. I have an innate motherly instinct that is always on que, and know how to foster a nurturing environment that will allow your child/children to grow and develop at their own pace all the while having fun! There is no task to small or too large I am certain can be accomplished each and every day, from light house keeping, to driving, or cooking or anything in between.

Jessica really helped me out with child care in a pinch! She responded immediately, was extremely communicative and great with my twin 11 year olds and 8 year old. It was a really hectic day and she was able to roll with the punches and step right in. Will definitely use her again!

I'm a reliable, creative, energetic person who has about 7 years of working with children. This includes my babysitting experience and my work as a substitute teacher for preschool, elementary, and middle schools during my winter and spring breaks. I also have experience as a support specialist for children with mild to moderate learning disabilities (autism, down syndrome, etc.). I'm very warm and caring but I don't let that get in the way of following the rules. For parents, I can help with Travel and Grocery Shopping if needed!
