Hi, I’m Harmony! I love being a sitter because caring for children comes naturally to me and brings me genuine joy. I’ve always had a passion for helping kids feel safe, happy, and understood. Growing up as an only child, I developed a nurturing personality and found it easy to connect with younger kidsβ€”creating fun, meaningful moments through play, conversation, and encouragement. Watching a child grow more confident, learn something new, or simply feel at ease in my care is what makes this work so rewarding. I’ve babysat for several families, caring for children of various ages and personalities. I also completed an internship at Little Children's Hospital, where I supported kids in a hospital setting with patience and compassion. In college, I studied child development and had the opportunity to teach in a classroom setting, helping children learn through both structure and creativity. These experiences have strengthened my instincts, patience, and ability to meet children where they are emotionally and developmentally. I’m CPR certified and well-versed in both babysitting and early childhood education. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and creativeβ€”especially when it comes to keeping kids engaged with fun activities and routines that suit their personalities. I value safety, clear communication, and consistency, and I treat every child with kindness, respect, and care. If you’re looking for someone warm, responsible, and truly passionate about working with kids, I’d love to be a part of your family’s support system!

Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I have approximately eight years of experience working with children of all ages. My journey in early childhood education began during my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have developed a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in safe and nurturing environments. I have experience caring for children from as young as six weeks old through 12 years of age. Over the years, I have babysat for local families and worked professionally in childcare settings. I served as a Lead Teacher in a daycare center for over three years, where I planned age-appropriate activities, supported children's social-emotional development, maintained a safe classroom environment, and partnered closely with families to support each child's success. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked in elementary school settings through clinical placements and educational experiences. I also hold a Substitute Teaching License, which has allowed me to work with children in classroom environments and support students with diverse learning needs. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with ESL and Bilingual endorsements. As a bilingual English and Spanish speaker, I enjoy supporting children and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families added peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am known for being patient, reliable, organized, and engaging. Whether it's helping with homework, creating fun learning activities, assisting with daily routines, preparing meals, or simply providing a caring and supportive environment, I strive to make every child feel valued, safe, and encouraged.
