I’m 26 and have been babysitting since I was 12, and have professional daycare and childcare and nanny experience under my belt as well! I love working with children (I’m an education major) and have done lots of volunteer work with kids. I like to keep kids engaged with age appropriate indoor and outdoor activities (weather permitting), crafts, and more! I prioritize the safety of your child and am certified in child and infant CPR and first aid. I also have experience working with children with a variety of disabilities.

Hi! My name is Karilyn, and I have several years of experience babysitting for families, along with hands-on experience working at a daycare. Caring for children has always been something I'm passionate about, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and grow. One of my favorite ways to engage children is through arts and crafts, creative activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences that encourage curiosity and imagination. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and positive encouragement as they develop new skills and confidence. This fall, I'll be starting college to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education, allowing me to further my knowledge and continue doing what I love. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with families and providing dependable, caring, and engaging childcare you can trust.
