Hi! I’m Naomi, and I love working with kids. I believe babysitting is more than just watching the clock, it's about connecting with your children and making sure they have a great time while you're away. From building epic blanket forts and playing board games to exploring outdoors, I bring a lot of energy and creativity to the table. I'm also happy to help with light tidying up and bedtime routines to make your evening seamless!

I truly enjoy working with children. I realized how special young children are when I helped raise my newborn twin siblings at the age of 14.

I have experience caring for children with special needs, including those with autism and those who have been abused, as well as others.

I love working with children, seeing them learn and grow, helping facilitate that as much as possible. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Early Education, as well as, five to six years of experience in center-based childcare. I also hold a current CPR and first aid certification.
