Hi! I am an extremely optimistic, energetic, positive, and nurturing person!! Currently, I am a college student studying Music Therapy to work with special needs children in the future. I attend school online, so I have very open availability and can accommodate you, however, you may need! I have such a passion for working with kids. I have around 3 years of paid baby-sitting experience. This experience ranges from infants to 12 years of age!:) For the past 5 summers, I have been a camp counselor at a theatre camp working with children of all ages. A very fun fact about me is that, most weekends, I work as a party princess! I attend children's birthday parties and events helping to spread a little magic into their lives! I love all things nature, music, and art! I absolutely love babies. My greatest desire in life is to be a mother one day. I am open to any and all housecleaning, chores, errands- whatever you may need! I have my own car for transportation! I can provide references as well. I would love to answer any questions you might have :))

My name is Jeyda, and I’m so grateful that you’re taking the time to learn a little about me. I’ve always felt like caregiving is a calling — not just something I do, but something that’s a part of who I am. I grew up in a big, close-knit family where helping with the little ones came naturally. I was the cousin who could always be found rocking a baby to sleep, calming a tantrum, or organizing games in the living room. Over the years, I realized how much joy it brings me to be someone a child feels safe with — someone they can laugh with, lean on, and trust. That love for caregiving turned into real experience when I began babysitting for families in my community and later worked at a preschool called The Learning Experience. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’ve also had the chance to support children on the autism spectrum — which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and the beauty of seeing the world through different perspectives. What matters most to me as a caregiver is building a connection. I want every child I care for to feel heard, valued, and genuinely loved. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and lots of encouragement. Whether we’re singing songs during snack time, exploring outside, or navigating big feelings together, I’m there to support not only the child, but you as a family too. Right now, I’m studying to become a labor and delivery nurse — a path that reflects how deeply I care about people, especially in their most important and vulnerable moments. I’m also certified in CPR and First Aid for both infants and adults, so safety is always a priority in everything I do. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be another set of hands — I want to be someone who makes your child feel special, safe, and celebrated. If I sound like someone who could be a good fit for your home, I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family better”.

I love being a sitter because caring for children has always felt like meaningful, purpose‑driven work. Every child brings their own personality, curiosity, and way of seeing the world, and I genuinely enjoy creating a space where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity through crafts, or simply listening to their stories, I value the chance to make each moment positive and memorable. I also understand how important trust is for families. As a caregiver, I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s needs and routines. I enjoy building strong relationships with parents and becoming someone they can rely on with confidence. What I love most is knowing that my presence makes life a little easier for families and a little brighter for the children I care for. It’s work that truly matters to me.

Hi! My name is Meadow, and I am a responsible, caring, and patient babysitter with hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to middle school age. I have helped take care of my nieces and nephews since they were newborns—two girls and one boy—and I still babysit them occasionally. The two youngest are now in third grade, and the oldest is in sixth grade, which has given me experience with different ages, routines, and needs. I help with homework, prepare simple meals, supervise playtime, and make sure children are safe and comfortable. I am dependable, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids.
