Hello, my name is Liv Kappel! I will be new to the area starting June 15th, 2026. We're relocating from Richmond, Virginia. Prior to moving to Richmond in December 2024, I grew up in Cincinnati Ohio and attended Xavier University, where I studied early childhood education and special education. I graduated from Xavier in May of '24 and began working full time for a family who has three children. I took care of a 14 year old who has down syndrome, a 2 year old, and a newborn. Once I got the two oldest children off to daycare/school, I would spend majority of the day with the infant. I helped with sleeping training and established/maintained a routine for the newborn that aligned with the parents goals. While the infant was asleep, I did anything from laundry (including fold and put away), meal prep, ran errands, organization and whatever else the Read more family needed help with. When we relocated to Richmond, I found an amazing family with a 2 year old and 4 month old that I care for part time. I began working for them in February 2025 and will have the opportunity to continue working for them until we relocate this June. Prior to graduating college, I babysat for all ages throughout high school and college. While in highschool, I worked with students who had autism, down syndrome and cerebral palsy. I was also a swim instructor at Goldfish Swim School, working with kids of all abilities from ages 4 months- 12 years. Thing's I love to do while babysitting include getting the kids outside, going on field trips, playing games while trying to sneak in some educational fun, and planning a fun movie night on a rainy day. Whenever the kids are taking a nap or having quite time, I try to get any household chores done and always clean up after any mess the children make while I am present. I have a reliable source of transportation, I am CPR/first aid/ AED certified, Water Safety Certified and have very good references! I am also happy to provide any other information such as a background check or education history. Please reach out if you feel we would be a good fit!
