Hi Parents, Koala Mom Here (meaning that I bring my child with me to babysit) I’m currently a SAHM so paying a sitter to watch my son while I care for another family would force me to raise my rate by double and that just doesn’t make sense, so I love to bring him along to play. Im available Monday- Sunday from 7:30/8am to 4/5pm (later on Weekends) 20 hours minimum 40 hours max I have over 20 yrs of experience and have taught preschool ages 0-5 for over 15 years. I’m kind, punctual, love making learning fun and creating organic opportunities for children to explore. I am mindful and enjoy helping children achieve their social, emotional and developmental skills & milestones through play and free expression.

Charity and her daughter were absolutely wonderful with our 19-month old son. She kept me updated throughout the day with texts and videos while I was at work, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. My son had a blast, and we look forward to having her babysit again in the future. Thank you again Charity!

We decided to meet with Charity based on her excellent credentials and wonderful reviews. We are so happy we did. Charity was professional and confident from the moment we met. Our son takes a little bit to warm up to a new person and Charity worked with us and met with us a couple of times before we actually left them together. I thought that was wonderful as our son had a chance to bond with Charity in my presence. He is now super happy to stay with Charity and sometimes I get the feeling he thinks Charity is way more fun than us. I especially like that Charity sends us photos and videos of our little guy when we're away. It makes me feel better to see him playing and enjoying himself. I would recommend Charity to anyone and, if he could talk, I'm certain our son would do the same. Thank you, Charity!!!

Charity is wonderful...a compassionate caregiver who is not just a sitter but also a friend to me and my daughter. She has given me all sorts of tips and tricks to try with a fussy 2 year old! It is no surprise her schedule fills up quickly so be sure to contact her in advance. She's worth every penny and I do not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation. Thank you Charity!

Woho just Woho. Charity was by far our best sitter so far. She is an amazing professional with a great heart, who simply loves kids. She took care of our 14 months old sun for one week. Saul already smiled the second day when Charity picked him up. He had loads of fun indoors and outdoors and simply loved being with her. Couldn't recommend Charity more.

Charity watched my two sons, ages 2 and 5, for an evening recently. She was very easy to reach, on time for our phone call interview and for the actual job. She is very professional and clearly loves children. I would happily hire Charity again!

Charity is the best! She is the kid whisper...we had her babysit the kids at our wedding, all my family members were really impressed with her skills, some of them have never had their kids watched by anyone else, they sneaked into the room to see how their kids were doing and said that they were shocked to see their kids be so comfortable and having so much fun with Chairty. Thank you so much Charity!!!

I was very nervous about leaving my 19-month-old with a sitter, because it was going to be his first time away from family. I chose Ms Charity because of her professional experience, and am glad I did! Charity was perfectly happy to ride along with us to my event (to minimize the amount of time the baby would be away from me.) She came over the day before the job, (so she and the baby could get to know each other) and within minutes, she had him laughing and squealing as they played! The day of the job, she saved us time by navigating for us with her phone. Once it was just her and the baby, she knew all the tricks for keeping him happy and distracted, even the few times he started to wonder where his mama was (that's the advantage of a professional!) Not only did she babysit, she acted as our photographer! Very pleased. I recommend Ms Charity for anyone whose child(ren) is/are new to sitters, have other special needs, or just want their kid(s) to have fun!
