Hi there! My name is Hillary and I absolutely love working with families and caring for children! I started my career babysitting during high school. While attending college for my art degree, I worked with several families part time. These were so fun and rewarding, that I decided to pursue childcare full-time, with professional nanny positions. For over 15 years I have continued to provide families with individualized care for their children, including experience with newborns and infant twins! Providing help with transportation, overnights, nanny share and pet care are included in my detailed resume, with references available upon request. In between regular positions, I focus on occasional sitting and providing emergency/ back up care. I would be available to fill in, if your primary childcare is unavailable, even with very short notice. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m Bailey, i'm a High School senior (18) and I’ve been babysitting for about three years. I truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages, and I love being a sitter because every day is different — you get to learn their personalities, be part of their growth, and create a safe, fun environment for them to feel comfortable in. I have experience working with all kinds of kids, including toddlers, school-aged children, and siblings of different ages. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure kids feel supported and understood. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or getting everyone settled for bedtime, I try to make each moment positive and stress-free. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and completed a babysitting course, so safety is always my first priority. Along with that, I bring strong communication skills and good problem-solving abilities, which help me handle unexpected situations calmly and confidently. As well as, good communication with parents and guardians. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can rely on. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
