Hello, I’m an experienced babysitter with a genuine passion for caring for children. My journey in childcare began early while helping raise my younger siblings, which instilled a strong sense of responsibility and patience. Along with childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I focus on creating a safe, engaging space where children can enjoy both fun and educational activities. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and can assist with school pickups and drop-offs as needed. My schedule is flexible, as I work part-time as a realtor, allowing me to accommodate a variety of family needs. References from families I’ve worked with are available upon request.
