I have almost 9 years of experience as a trained babysitter with first aid and CPR certification but have been an older sister for 20 years and have always taken care of my 3 younger siblings. With all of that experience, I’ve learned to be patient and calm and be able to create a safe environment for children in order for them to feel safe, understood, and trusted. I am energetic and can be creative and love helping out with arts and crafts and doing fun things with kids. I am flexible and can adapt to plan changes and work well under pressure while still being organized and paying attention to important details. I am willing to do meal prep and do some light cooking and help around the house with things such as laundry and cleaning. I am bilingual, speaking fluent english and spanish. I’d love to also help with any homework or remote learning and can tutor if needed.

Hey my name is Chelsea Hedrick. I am 22 years old and I have my associates degree and now searching for a nanny job for the summertime. In college I have taken a child education class and a psychology class dealing with different age groups, one being children and why they act the way they do. Ever since I was about 13 years old I started babysitting my neighbors toddler. He was around 2 or 3 when I started babysitting him and now he’s in fourth grade. Last year my cousins had a baby and needed to get back to work so I babysat their 3 week old baby for a couple of months. Those were my only paid jobs, but growing up my parents always hung out around parents with children and I always played with the children.

Are you open to adding a pseudo-grandmother to your family? I care for children as if they were my own and hope to build relationships that last. Since my husband passed from Alzheimer’s, I’ve channeled my energy and purpose into caregiving—work that brings me genuine joy. With infants and toddlers, I provide nurturing, attentive care, newborn experience, and my own baby sling, Ergobaby carrier, and stroller. I’m experienced with potty training and provide written daily summaries covering feeding, sleep, and developmental milestones. For preschool and elementary children, I use age-appropriate checklists, hands-on kits, musical instruments, and learning tools to support motor skills, cognition, speech, self-care, and social/emotional growth. I also incorporate structured learning apps such as ABCMouse, Khan Academy Kids, and Teach Your Monster. For older children, I serve as a calm, reliable parental proxy—supporting homework, chores, reading, mindfulness, and life skills while reinforcing character through positive guidance. I have experience with ADHD, developmental delays, physical impairments, food aversions, and neurodivergent children. I’m a light-hearted, energetic, and dependable 62-year-old, calm in a crisis and trained to respond to medical emergencies. I value limited screen time, good nutrition, strong routines, and active learning. I’m seeking a non-smoking family that values kindness, empathy, education, and discretion.
