Although I haven’t babysat professionally since I was 19, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by kids and caring for them. Coming from a big, loving family, I’ve had the chance to nurture and look after siblings, cousins, and family friends’ children, giving me hands-on experience with kids of all ages—from newborns to preteens. I’m naturally bubbly, empathetic, and nurturing, which has made me the go-to person for friends and family whenever they need a reliable helping hand. Over the years, I’ve learned how to balance fun, structure, and safety in every situation. Whether it’s calming a fussy baby, keeping toddlers entertained with creative arts and crafts, or helping older kids tackle their homework, I bring energy, patience, and adaptability to the table. I love being outdoors and encouraging kids to explore and play in nature, but I’m just as skilled at keeping them engaged indoors with imaginative activities. While Read more I don’t have formal certifications, my years of real-world experience and my passion for caregiving make me confident in creating a safe, positive, and enriching environment for every child in my care. *I am First Aid/CPR certified and can provide proof if needed.
