Hi Parents! Iβm currently a nursing student at Lincoln Memorial University looking to fill my hours outside of school! I previously obtained myBachelors Degree in Child and Family Development in 2024 from San Diego State University. I am looking for flexible babysitting opportunities to do outside of my nursing schedule and would love to find a couple of families that I can help! I have 9 years of childcare experience for children with ages ranging from newborn to 12 years old, so I am very comfortable watching multiple children of various ages, and have experience with multiples/ twins as well! I am also one of seven children in my family:)I have also worked as a gymnastics coach, a preschool teachers aide, a nanny, babysitter, 1st grade teachers aide, interned for various nonprofits centered around children and families, and recently finished working at a daycare! I am CPR/BLS certified, nonsmoker, and have reliable transportation.

I have several years of experience working with children of different ages through both paid babysitting and volunteer leadership roles. During high school, I worked as a babysitter for a family with three children ranging from 6 months old to 11 years old. I cared for the children for about a year, helping with daily routines, supervision, and creating a safe and positive environment. In addition, I spent 3β4 years running my high schoolβs Best Buddies program, which supports students with intellectual disabilities and encourages social involvement. In this role, I planned activities, organized events, and helped create inclusive experiences for students while developing strong communication, leadership, and caregiving skills. I also currently work as a Certified Nursing Assistant in an assisted living facility, where I have experience caring for elderly adults, including residents with Alzheimerβs and dementia. This role has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate care in a safe and supportive environment. Outside of school and work, I enjoy cooking and baking, which have been hobbies of mine for most of my life. I also love reading, and I am currently reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte BrontΓ«.
