Dear Parents,I grew up in a vibrant family household of eight where I fell in love with life, people, and learning. It was there that I developed a love of wonder, the imagination, and creativity. I’d love to help your children also fall in love with life doing fun activities like baking/cooking, read-aloud, building forts, performing plays, learning lots of outside games, and many other experiences that build your child’s memory and sense of adventure. I want to share my love for creativity, imagination, and wonder with them.Wyndy gives me the opportunity to share my skill as a mentor and teacher with your children and fulfill my mission for deepening a love for the imagination, creativity, and wonder in the hearts of the young people under my care.My various caretaking experiences in home, private, and public school settings have trained me to meet different learning styles and personalities. My experience as an outdoor leadership counselor prepares me to engage readily with children of various age levels and backgrounds. As a plus, I am also able to help older children with their learning. I’d love to help them with their homework or learn a fascinating part of history together. We could dress up in character and re-enact a famous scene like the Crossing of the Delaware. My desire to help form and understand the mind of a child has propelled me to learn, study, and write on Montessori education which I studied in my senior capstone project.As a babysitter, I’d love to create that space where children can thrive, love life, and live it most abundantly. For the younger ones, I’d love to nurture their minds with hands-on crafts, storytelling, and other enriching activities that make them smile, laugh, and delight in life.Babysitting is a partnership with you; it’s a privilege and a gift. The soul of every child is precious and all I wish to do is help it blossom into something beautiful. I look forward to working with you.Best, Sean Callaghan

Hi💕 My name is Mariam and I am currently nursing student set to graduate hopefully 2028! I’m in love with taking care of children given I have 3 little siblings that I had to help my mother take care of. My oldest sister has 2 that I watch over and one has autism. It’s very rewarding and also helps prepare me once it’s time for me to be a mother.Creating a safe, happy space where children feel comfortable being themselves and parents feel at ease leaving them in my care is my goal. I just quit my recent dental assisting job to be in nursing school full time. So that’s why I ventured towards babysitting as my job because it’s something I naturally do on a regular basis. Also being that I’m in the medical field and learning more everyday,I have experience in case anything was to happen.I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive. Whether it’s helping with homework,📚 playing games ,or doing crafts🖍️ I always put a child’s needs first. I understand how important trust is when it comes to children, and I take that responsibility seriously. i treat every child I watch as if they were my own by making sure they’re SAFE,listened to, and having fun💕My goal is to be someone both kids and parents look forward to seeing. I would love the chance to support your family and be someone you can truly rely on the weekends
