Hi there! My name is Pixie and I’m 22 years old. I’ve been taking care of kids my whole life basically being the oldest sister! I love being outdoors in parks or taking hikes. My outlet is creativity, I’m all about the crafts! Drawing, painting, sculptures and music! I take care of animals as well. I love working with kids and am very patient with them. (I have a car but won’t be able to have kids in it due to it being old, safety reasons!) :)

I have two younger sisters and a younger brother, so I’ve grown up taking care of them, along with cousins and other extended family members. From the age of about 16 on, I did babysitting jobs on and off for multiple families, including neighbors, my mom’s boss, and family friends. When I was 20, I found a job nannying for a family of three boys, ages 3, 7, and 10 years. When I was almost 22, I started working at a daycare at the lead teacher of the infant classroom. Across all these childcare jobs, I’ve had experience with many different ages and personalities of children, as well as experience with up to eight children at a time. I like working with kids because I love knowing I'm helping them shape their personalities, build life skills, and have another adult in their life they know loves them and that they can trust.

Hi! I have extensive experience in childcare, including two years working with a Christian-based childcare center, where I provided tutoring in reading and writing for school-age children. My background also includes firsthand parenting experience as the primary caregiver for my four-year-old, which has deepened my understanding of early childhood development and nurturing care. Additionally, I have been an experienced surrogate, giving me unique insight into newborn and infant care. Beyond my personal and professional experience, I have supported families by offering babysitting services during critical transitions, such as parents returning to work. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can thrive. My approach blends patience, warmth, and educational engagement to ensure children feel secure and valued while in my care. With a strong commitment to fostering positive experiences for both children and parents, I strive to be a trusted and dependable childcare provider.
