Hi! I’m a 19-year-old second-year accounting student with a strong passion for childcare and helping others. I have 3 years of experience working as a lifeguard, where I developed responsibility, attentiveness, and strong safety skills. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very involved in my community and love staying active—I’m also a cheerleader, so I bring a fun, energetic, and positive attitude to everything I do. I truly enjoy working with children, especially babies, and I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I also have my own car for reliable transportation and am happy to help with light tasks, playtime, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Jaelynn really has such skills in taking care of children. She has great intuition with infants-regularly changing them, feeding them, and providing attention to their needs. She is very patient with my little guy and she shows so much initiative. She does more than what I ask and her kindness just blows me away. I trust her with my little guy and know that he is in safe hands with her. If we could have 1,000 Jaelynn’s as babysitters, that would be a perfect world! Hiring Jaelynn is a non-negotiable for me! She is my go-to sitter always!

Hi! I'm someone who truly loves working with children. My favorite part is watching them learn something new and seeing how excited they get when they want to show you what they've accomplished. Being a small part of their growth and helping build their confidence is incredibly rewarding. I've been caring for children since I was 16 years old, starting with babysitting and continuing through a variety of childcare and education roles. I've worked as a preschool assistant with infants through school-age children, taught preschool, and currently work as a paraprofessional. These experiences have helped me become patient, dependable, and creative when it comes to keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always strive to create a fun, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the kind of care that gives parents peace of mind while helping kids have fun and thrive!
