I love being a sitter because it allows me to create positive, nurturing experiences for children while helping parents maintain their work-life balance. Having raised three children of my own (ages 23, 13, and 11), I understand the importance of finding trustworthy, reliable childcare. My experience spans many years, beginning with babysitting my cousins and family members as a teenager, which developed my initial caregiving skills. As a mother, I've gained extensive hands-on experience managing different age groups, handling various situations, and creating engaging activities that promote both fun and learning. My professional background includes a Business Management degree, current CPR and First Aid certification, and an OSHA 10-Hour Safety certification. These credentials, combined with my parenting experience, have equipped me with strong organizational skills, safety awareness, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I'm excited to bring my blend of professional expertise and nurturing care to your family!
