Iβm the proud mom of a beautiful 6-year-old daughter and have worked as a Teacherβs Assistant at multiple preschools. Before becoming a mom, I spent my teenage years babysitting children in my neighborhood. Becoming a mother myself has helped grow my passion for childcare. I love playing pretend, doing arts and crafts, and creating a fun, safe, and loving environment where children feel happy and cared for! Iβm also CPR and First Aid certified, so you can feel at ease that your little ones are in caring and capable hands! :)

Hi! I have been babysitting since my senior year of high school and throughout college as well. I got into babysitting after volunteering in the special education program at my high school my senior year. I have always loved the interactions and watching the growth of the kids I have cared for. I have also worked at a daycare and cared for 10 toddlers at a time with the help of 2 other coworkers! I have 2 nieces I babysit occasionally as well. I would love to help a family find reliable childcare! I have a very bubbly personality and have yet to care for a child that did not enjoy the time we interacted! :) I am very reliable, can do light chores, make meals, not afraid to change a blowout lol, will have dance parties and do karaoke, and be the first call you can make when life happens and you need childcare last minute! I look forwarding to meeting you and caring for your babies like theyβre my own!
