Hi! My name is Maddy! I have past experience working with kids, and I really enjoy spending time with them! I'm CPR trained and always make safety a priority (while still keeping things fun and positive). I have my driver's license and my own car, so I'm flexible and can help with things like school pick-ups or errands if needed! I'm also super comfortable with pets, so that's never an issue! I try to create a relaxed, fun environment while still sticking to routines and helping out wherever I can. I'd love to be someone your family can count on!

Hi!!!! My name is Ashley. I’ve been babysitting on and off for a little over two years. I took some time away to focus on school and earn my CNA certification, and I’ve now been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost three years. I currently work PRN for a hospice company, but my true passion has always been caring for children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. When I was 15 years old, I completed a babysitting certification course, giving me a strong foundation in child care and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones and provide dependable, compassionate care. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about me I look forward to meeting your family!
