Hi! I'm a graduate student in counseling and current school-based counselor with previous experience as a behavior technician. My professional background has given me strong skills in child development, behavior management, and creating safe, supportive environments for children of all ages. I'm passionate about incorporating creativity into childcare - I love engaging kids through art projects, crafts, and imaginative activities that spark their curiosity and keep them entertained. My artistic talents allow me to provide fun, educational experiences while maintaining the structure and care children need. I'm seeking part-time babysitting opportunities this summer and am excited to bring both my professional expertise and creative energy to your family.

Hi! My name is Dania. Iโm a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys working with children. I am currently a substitute teacher and have been working in education for about 5 years. Through my work in schools, I have experience working with children ages 5โ13 and supporting them in both learning and everyday activities. Working in education has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, and creating a safe and positive environment for kids. Iโm comfortable helping with homework, keeping children engaged with fun and educational activities, preparing simple meals or snacks, and following routines like bedtime or after-school schedules. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I always make safety, kindness, and respect a priority. My goal is to make sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and have fun while they are in my care. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, building legos, going to the gym and I like bringing creativity and fun activities into the time I spend with kids.

Hi my name is Ava, Iโm a 20 year old College Student. I have been babysitting for over 2 years and absolutely love it! I also teach swim lessons to kids (ages 3-12) so I know what it takes to build a fun and safe environment anywhere. I pride myself on being structured and always being a friendly face and/or a listening ear. I have experience with taking care of infants/newborns as well as toddlers to preteens. I try my hardest to stay away from screen time when Iโm sitting, instead i focus on getting the kids outdoors or even doing creative projects in doors. I love to cook so I can be of great use in the kitchen :) Safety is my number one priority, my certifications include first aid and CPR (infant/adult)!

I've had years of hands-on childcare experience, mainly with my two younger sisters. Even though it wasnโt a formal job at first, I treated it like one because I took it seriously. Iโve helped raise them since they were littleโcooking meals, getting them ready for school, helping with homework, teaching them how to clean up after themselves, and keeping them entertained. On top of that, Iโve volunteered to babysit for family friends and during church events. I'm really patient, and I know how to keep kids safe, engaged, and happy. Itโs second nature to me now, and I genuinely enjoy being that steady, supportive person in a childโs life.
