I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families. I find a lot of fulfillment in helping parents take things off their plates so they can enjoy downtime, date nights, or simply a break knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I value flexibility, connection, and creating a calm, positive environment for kids and parents alike. I have been babysitting since middle school and have experience caring for children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and high schoolers. I spent 4.5–5 years working as a long-term nanny for the same family, where I supported daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, meals, activities, light cleaning, weekend overnights, travel, and more. I have also helped with transportation to and from extracurricular activities and supported children through different developmental stages. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of Read more responsibilities and situations, from calming children during tough moments to engaging them in fun, age-appropriate activities. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and bring a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and communication. I’m confident managing routines, helping children problem-solve and regulate emotions, supporting homework and learning, and preparing healthy meals. Beyond childcare, I enjoy supporting families in practical ways. I help with light household tidying and organization (I always leave a home cleaner than I found it), pet care, errands, groceries, cooking, laundry, and general household support when helpful. I’m reliable, organized, calm under pressure, and committed to making families feel supported and at ease.
