My friends call me the "Baby Whisperer." While it usually refers to my capacity to calm infants and young children easily, it really reflects my passion and love for children. I began babysitting when I was 15 years old for families in my neighborhood. Throughout high school and college, I was a nanny for the same family during the summers. I continued to babysit after college as I started my career in conservation. I also worked as an environmental educator for preschoolers to middle school-aged children at two different forest preserves. I moved to Bozeman, Montana in 2016 to pursue a graduate degree. While I lived there, I babysat for 6 families on a consistent basis. In 2019, I was a nanny for an 8-month-old as I transitioned from my graduate degree. Since living in Missoula, I have continued to babysit for different families. The children I have watched range from 2-month-olds to 14-year-olds, providing me with a lot of experience with children's different personalities and unique needs. My love for children extends beyond babysitting. I have participated in or planned science education events for children and young students including science summer camps, STEM workshops, family science nights, and guest lectures. I look forward to meeting your family and learning about your child!

As a nanny, I am responsible for providing nurturing care to the child while understanding and tending to his or her physical and emotional needs to encourage a happy and healthy mindset. Over the years, I have gained the ability to cope with unexpected situations, stay calm under pressure, and multitask efficiently all while making close and trusting relationships with the families. With my interest in children and childhood development I try to maintain a good imagination to plan activities that are fun and aid with growth. My time spent with children has given me a better sense of communication, even with adults, because the children are using me as an example to create their own building blocks to be successful in life. I love teaching and watching the children around me learn, as well as grow, as young individuals. This combined with the opportunity to be a positive role model in their lives is very rewarding to me.

Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a college student at MSU Bozeman who genuinely loves spending time with kids of all ages— from keeping infants happy and comfortable to helping teens with homework. I’ve been babysitting for 5+ years, working with children of all age groups, both through regular family jobs and occasional side gigs. I am both CPR and First Aid certified so parents can trust me to handle whatever comes up.Beyond the basics, I love getting creative with kids; crafts and projects are a passion of mine, so down time never means screen time if we can help it. I am also happy to cook meals, help with homework, and get everyone outside for some fresh air and energy-burning. I’m reliable, communicative, and I’ll treat every kid as if they were my own. I am available any day, any time, and I’m more than happy to travel within reason to make things work for your family!
