Hello, My name is Jeannie and I was born and raised in Queens, New York. I moved to Alabama in 2021 with my mother and since then, have found an interest in the outdoors. I love hiking and walking by the creek and taking in nature as a form of meditation. My hobbies include painting, going on peaceful drives, listening to music, hiking, and hanging out with my furry pets. As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. I have 4 years of experience including babysitting and tutoring, and have babysat multiples of different ages, the most recent being a 5 year old girl and a 3 year old girl. I am 100% willing to help with tidying up the house, taking care of your pets, cooking, and running errands on top of being a babysitter. I think it's extremely important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment, and I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! ◡̈ I also live in Montevallo, but do not mind driving to Birmingham to do a job. However, I am planning to move to Hoover on the 30th!

As a (soon to be) doctor of occupational therapy, I have the skill set to keep your child learning, playing, and safe while you get some much needed parent time. Whether this is a long term or short term placement, my job is to bond with your child so you know they are having a great time. I have been certified in many different safety procedures such as safe swimming, severe weather, CPR/AED, Choking, First Aid, and more. Before attending doctoral school, I was a pediatric piano instructor and I love to incorporate music and arts into my time with your children. Please reach out with any questions, I am looking forward to speaking with you!
