I absolutely love being a sitter—it’s such a joy to spend time with kids and make a difference in their lives. Their energy, curiosity, and creativity keep every day exciting! My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive, and families can feel completely at ease. With 12 years of babysitting experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from snuggling and caring for infants to helping toddlers build routines and confidence. For school-aged kids, I’m there to help with homework, keep them entertained with creative activities, and ensure they’re having fun while learning. And when it comes to teens, I love being a supportive role model while giving them the independence they need. Over the years, I’ve picked up skills to handle all sorts of situations, whether it’s keeping things organized, managing different personalities, or adapting to each child’s unique needs. I Read more also bring training in behavior management and educational techniques, so whether it’s a busy day of play or helping with schoolwork, I’m here to make life easier for your family! I am currently in school to become a Birth-2nd grade teacher, and will graduate in May! So, I have lots of teaching and tutoring experience as well.
