Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

Meet Summer
I became a caregiver because I genuinely love children and I love seeing their personalities develop. I've been working with children for about 10 years now. I started as a babysitter for family members, and eventually moved on to friends of family. In undergrad, I worked as a daycare assistant taking care of children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. I also have experience as a full time nanny. I am experienced in potty training as well as sleep training. I also am first aid and cpr certified. Anything else you want to know feel free to ask!

Summer was awesome! So sweet and great energy. Things were a bit chaotic on our end when she arrived, but she was calm and went with the flow. My boys loved her. I'd hire her again in a second.

Summer was wonderful. She was communicative, friendly, calming and thoughtful. I felt like I was leaving my child in great hands. My child is exploring gender identity, which I somewhat awkwardly explained to Summer and she expertly responded with sensativity and grace.

I had to attend high school orientation with my older child and didn't want my 3yr old to get bored or worse be disruptive to our time to get important information. I booked summer to meet me at the school and she was such a great sport about us arriving 15 mins late as well as hanging with my daughter at the park nearby (for 3 hrs). My daughter rode her balance bike most of their time together and Summer gave my daughter a lunch I packed. They also spent some time at the playground. My daughter was happy to get a morning out and about. My son was happy to have my undivided attention during this important transition.

Summer was a delight! She was able to keep our baby sleeping for a lovely long nap, and reassured him and played with him when he woke up. She was sweet and gentle and communication with her was excellent! We are from out of town and were nervous about having a sitter, but Summer's attitude and confidence were completely reassuring.

Summer was wonderful. She is super sweet and has a very calming spirit. My wild 4 month old baby was a handful and she handled her perfectly. Im so grateful for her patience. I can tell she has a lot of experience with kids and babies. I'm so glad I chose her! We will definitely be using her again.

Summer arrived a little earlier than expected, which was nice because it helped with the transition of me leaving out. She jumped right in reading stories to my boys. She gave them their afternoon snack and also prepared dinner. When I arrived home she already had my boys in their jammies and in bed. I was a little late returning home and Summer was flexible with me. She is super sweet, my kids enjoyed having her. I will definitely book her again.
