Meet Joy

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi, I'm Joy Handy! I am a college graduate and located in the East Great Bridge of Chesapeake . I have many years of experience in babysitting and working with children of all ages. I currently work as a preschool teacher and aftercare leader where I regularly work with children from ages 2 1/2 to 17. I also have experience working with autistic and down syndrome kids. I love animals of all types and understand if your pet tends to be easily excitable, aggressive towards strangers, scared of new people, or any other quirk they may have. If your pet fits one of those categories just let know and I'll make sure to kindly treat them according to their personality when I'm babysitting in your home.
