I have been a paid babysitter for the past seven years for family friends and neighbors. Before coming to college I worked for nine months as a nanny for three children under two years old. I have been Red Cross Babysitter certified and have gotten additional child care training from working in summer camps through PP&R. I have babysat for children 3mo to 10yrs old. I enjoy babysitting because I like being able to meet children at their level and allow them to explore and grow in a safe and positive environment. I love playing with children and interacting with them in a creative and collaborative way. I love getting to know each child and integrating myself into the unique culture of each family.

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I'm a friendly and caring individual with a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. I've always been drawn to working with kids, and I'm excited to have over 3 years of experience as a childcare provider. My warm and approachable nature allows me to connect easily with children, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to thrive. When it comes to communicating with parents, I understand the importance of keeping them informed about their child's day. I provide regular updates, either through text messages or phone calls, and I'm always happy to discuss any concerns or issues that may arise. I believe in working closely with parents to ensure that every child receives the best possible care. In terms of enforcing household rules, I follow the lead of the parents. I believe that consistency is key, and I strive to maintain a structured yet nurturing environment for the children in my care.

I have over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning as a nanny in my teens and continuing through raising my own two sons (now teenagers, super kind, wicked funny) and caring for children professionally and within my extended family. I’ve worked with children of all ages—from newborns through school-age—with extensive experience caring for multiples, including twins, triplets, and even three boys under three years old at one time. I currently care part-time for my 3.5-year-old niece, which keeps my toddler play instincts sharp, my glitter tolerance recalibrated, and my knowledge of construction vehicles surprisingly current. Along with daily routines, I’m experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, coordinating age-appropriate activities, supporting emotional development, and managing high-energy personalities with calm and consistency. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as deeply nurturing, engaging, reliable, and intuitive with kids. I’m known to thrive in organized chaos and quietly redirect toddler-led negotiations before they reach DEFCON snack level. My background also includes homeschooling, facilitating independent learning, and creating enriching play and exploration-based environments. I am CPR/First Aid trained, comfortable with pets, and adept at clear, respectful communication with parents to ensure care aligns with their values, routines, and overall household flow.
