Hello! My name is Irene and I have been working with children for over 16 years. I am a very fun and energetic individual who enjoys and appreciates children and their curiosity for the world. I have been working with children of all ages for over 16 yrs. I have a Bachelors degree in early childhood, I am Montessori trained, CPR and first aide certified. I am looking for opportunities to work after my primary job. I mainly just have availability for occasional sits. I do not do any extra housework but I am happy to clean up after your child with anything they used during the time they were under my care, this includes dishes, bottles, etc. I have been fully vaccinated!

Great with the kiddos. Was fun and speaks right away to the kiddos. Also clear and firm with boundaries, so they know she’s the one in charge. Great at keeping them on track for the evening and guiding the course of their time together!

I hired Sandy as a sitter for my chickens while we go out of town in December. Sandy was extremely responsive, professional, and flexible in our communications and willing to meet prior to our departure to review the chicken care. She demonstrated immense knowledge for caring for many types of animals, and I felt very confident that she would take great care of our chickens. However, I ended up not needing her services this time as my sister will be staying with us and will care for the chickens while we are away, but I will definitely reach out to Sandy in the future and would love to hire her when we have chicken sitter needs in the future.

Auvin H.
- 11 years paid experience

Hi! I’m a caring, energetic, and dependable person who genuinely loves working with kids! I grew up taking care of children in my neighborhood, which led to years of babysitting for many wonderful families. I also have several years of experience as a summer camp counselor, where I supported children in both group activities and one-on-one care. My experience is in childcare, youth programming, and recreational supervision. I’ve helped plan and lead age-appropriate activities, managed group dynamics, ensured safety in active environments, and supported children in building confidence, creativity, and social skills. I recently graduated from school, where I developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that I use in every role I take on. I also hold the following certifications: Standard First Aid, CPR-C (Child & Infant CPR), AED Certification, and Child Safety & Supervision Training. These help me provide a safe, responsible, and prepared environment for children in my care. Outside of childcare, I currently work in a fast-paced, people-facing service role, which has strengthened my responsibility, time management, adaptability, and ability to work well under pressure. I love being outdoors, staying active, doing creative activities, and making everyday moments fun! Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and completely themselves. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I always treat that responsibility with kindness, patience, and care.

Auvin is an incredible sitter! She is caring, on time and very organized. She provided me with a menu of services she provides, her full schedule and her rate based on the job I needed. She was able to help me early in the morning get the kids ready for school and get them in the car for daycare. She also was able to help with some light housekeeping I needed done as well. I’m so grateful we found her!

Dawn has been with our family full time for over 2 years. Our kids were 7 months and 2 when she started. I can't say enough great things about our time with her. She's like a true Mary Poppins. Teaching the kids, taking them on adventures, helping at home with cleaning and meal prep for the family, doing laundry and helping out in other ways. Our kids love her, always happy to see her for hugs. She brings them surprises and kept them entertained and engaged. As our kids transition into school, they are advanced in so many ways due to the care and teaching at home with Dawn. We sadly had to let her go due to our situation changing with kids in school and mom's work schedule changing. Dawn is truly a gem among nannies, and I highly recommend her. We had 4 nannies prior to her, and felt so lucky to have found her and worked with someone so experienced, nurturing, and helpful when our lives were at peak stress.

I genuinely enjoy working with children because every day brings something new whether it's building a fort out of couch cushions or helping with homework. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported to explore and grow. Being a sitter lets me make a positive impact on a child’s day, and that’s incredibly fulfilling to me! I’ve worked with children of all ages from infants to preteens in various settings including babysitting for families, volunteering at a children’s hospital, and mentoring through youth programs. I’m comfortable with routines like school pickups, meal prep, bedtime, and helping with homework. CPR & First Aid Certified Background checked Strong communicator with both children and parents Patient and calm under pressure Creative and educational play expert (arts & crafts, STEM games, reading time!) Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling
