Hi. I got my start with Sittercity , October of 2020. I started taking care of children in my home. Luckily, the two families that I started with in October of 2020, continued. until April 2024. They were ages, 3 months, 6 months, 2 yr. old, 4 yr.old and 7 yr. old. At this time, I would be available to babysit at the children’s homes. I was a stay at home mom for many years and have all the experience of raising my own. That experience led me to Sitter City. I was teaching Young Rembrandts at the elementary schools until they closed due to Covid in 2020. I have taught preschoolers, elementary, and middle school. Patience is my virtue. I love to try and make the most of each day. Especially now with the challenges we are all facing at this time. I live near Rock Cut State Park Read more where I love to hike, walk the pathways and ride my bike. I love taking my dogs there, too. An example of a day that I would be babysitting would be spending time doing activities like reading the child’s favorite books, spend some time doing different age appropriate learning activities, art activities, playing board games, puzzles, watch some of their favorite TV shows or movies. Then we would have snack time, lunch, or early dinner. I love to be outside as much as I can. I Love going for walks around our pond and down to the park in my neighborhood. Any kind of outdoor activity is great for the kids. Whatever the child’s favorite things to do throughout the day would be my focus. Every day is new day and I want to make it a fun day for them. I would also be able to help with homework or daily assignments from their school. All in all my goal is to make their day a happy , fun and fulfilling one. I want the children to look forward to spending the day and learning new adventures. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. Hopefully, your child care search will be successful!

WONDERFUL, AMAZING, KIND, CONSIDERATE, EASY GOING, FUN, SWEET, TREATS ME GIRLS LIKE THEY ARE HER OWN! She is so kind, and very patience. She has reached expectations i didn't know i had. She cares for the whole family. Not just the kids! Iam so lucky to have found her. She understands the parent experience and know you may be a little nervous, but she kept me up to date throughout the day and sends tons of pictures and videos. She does not just watch your kids she actually plays with them 11
