I have provided childcare for families in the Lexington area for 6+ years and worked as a preschool teacher at Kids R Kids Learning Academy. I have a bachelor’s in art education and enjoy spending time outdoors and participating in creative driven activities. I absolutely love pets! In my free time I make stained glass art, sew, or care for my own cats at home.I love sitting because it allows me to help children grow their imagination and offers a more engaging child care experience over teaching a full classroom.

Hello! My name is Georgia F, and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Kentucky, where I am pursuing a degree in nursing.I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. Whether it was caring for family members, family friends, or children through personal recommendations, I’ve always been the person people trusted to care for their little ones. In addition to years of babysitting experience, I have also worked at a daycare, where I gained valuable experience caring for children of different ages in a fun, structured, and nurturing environment. I am also CPR certified, giving parents added peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands.To me, babysitting is so much more than simply watching children—it’s caring for the most important people in a parent’s life. I strive to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to learn and explore. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through creative activities, games, crafts, outdoor play, and imaginative adventures while always leading with patience, kindness, and compassion.As a future nurse, I understand the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and providing exceptional care. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind, knowing their children are not only safe but also happy, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, dependable relationship you can count on!
