While I haven't worked as a traditional babysitter, I have over three years of experience working with children as a dance instructor for Tippi Toes. I taught classes for children ranging from 18 months to 9 years old, leading classes within local preschools as well as community programs. My role involved creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment while managing groups of children with different personalities and needs. This experience helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to keep children entertained while ensuring their safety. I'm comfortable supervising young children, leading age-appropriate activities, and helping them feel comfortable, confident, and supported. I'm excited to provide families with dependable, attentive, and caring childcare.

I’m a newly married, active, and family‑oriented caregiver who recently moved to the Franklin area. I love sewing, baking, staying active, and being involved in my church community. I’ve always dreamed of having a big family of my own one day, and caring for children has always come naturally to me. I have experience nannying full‑time for a family with a 10‑month‑old, 3‑year‑old, and 5‑year‑old, as well as providing occasional care for another family with a 4‑ and 6‑year‑old. I also spent two years volunteering at a daycare in my hometown, served in children’s ministry with preschoolers, and gained meaningful experience working with autistic children ages 1–6. Across every role, I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where kids feel supported, engaged, and cared for and where parents feel confident and at ease.
