Hi! I'm Jackie, and I'm excited to bring my passion for caregiving to your family. While I'm new to professional child care, I have hands-on experience working with babies and children, including those with special needs, particularly kids with physical disabilities and autism. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment. One of my favorite things to do is cook! I love preparing nutritious, tasty meals and snacks, and I'm happy to help out in the kitchen as part of my care. I'm also great at engaging kids in creative play, sensory-friendly activities, and calm routines that support their individual needs. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see how I can support your family!

I am a very passionate person. Arts and crafts are my specialty. Story time and other educational experiences are must for children of all ages. Every child deserves a sitter who is loads of fun, but also provides them structure and implements all the rules provided by the parents. If this sounds like the kind of sitter you want, you are looking in the right place. Your children will have so much fun with me, while still keeping a structured routine. I can't wait for the adventures we will have together!

Warmest of greetings! My name is Carmen, some call me Carm or Charm. :) I have always had a soft spot in my heart for young people. Other than admiring their tiny hands and feet, I love watching their freedom to play, imagine, and be themselves! Adulthood has given me so many life experiences thus far that has shaped my thinking and behavior in such a positive transformative way. I've been led throughout this past year to start working with children as a part of my life purpose, and I want to share my knowledge, experiences, warm personality, love, and kindness with young developing minds, they are so deserving! I became an aunt at age 16 which is when I had my first encounter with learning to care for newborns. I've played an integral role in assisting to care for my niece and nephew from babies (changing diapers, bathing, feeding, putting them to sleep) to now (preparing meals, helping with grooming, transporting them, and most of all teaching life skills). I enjoy them and love them dearly; they've taught me to remember that children have only lived on Earth for a fraction of time as adults so they deserve patience, grace, and time to get everything right. My main focus these past few years have been work and school, but I have had the opportunity to care for 2 children from 2 different households outside of my family; one was a toddler, the other a teenager with special needs-both of whom I enjoyed. Work afforded more opportunities to work with children, in a more educational development role which I enjoyed even more. I taught a 6 week reading class, tutored phonics online, and my most current role teaching math and reading skills in the classroom. My personality meshes so well with young people that I've always been able to quickly build rapport with children of all ages. I am genuine, patient, understanding, helpful, attentive, and loving and children easily pick up on those traits and appreciate them. My intentions are clear and simple, to help you and most of all help them!

Hi! My name is Brittney. I have been an elementary teacher for over a decade with prior experience working at a daycare facility in college as well as within the past year. I love teaching children, especially the younger ones, as they are still deeply fascinated with the world around them and soak up knowledge like a sponge. I have over a decade of experience teaching reading and writing to students of kindergarten, 4th and 5th grade ages.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and giving kids a safe, fun, and positive environment. I like building connections with children, learning their personalities, and being someone they can trust. Babysitting allows me to be responsible while also being creative, patient, and caring. I love knowing that I can make a child’s day better and give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have experience babysitting younger family members and children in my community. I’ve cared for kids of different ages, including toddlers, elementary-aged children, and preteens. I’m used to helping with homework, preparing simple meals or snacks, keeping kids entertained, and following routines like bedtime or quiet time. I also have experience being dependable, staying calm in stressful situations, and handling responsibilities on my own, which has helped me become a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
